What went wrong here?

Alright, my first trade was profitable with a 2.50 ES gain. My second trade was a mistake by me, and I saw what I did wrong and lost 1.00. My third and 4th trades were basically break even since I saw my entry points were bad and immediately got out.

This trade bothers me though, not sure what I did wrong. You'll see we had a spinning top (I think?) then confirmation after that, I went short on the 2nd red candle at 1452.75 where price stood at a standstill for some time. I got stopped out at 1454 essentially wiping out my gains for the day. I'm wondering if I saw the chart right, and it just didn't work out or if I did something wrong?
