Re: Levels for March 27th

my levels for today:

1347-1349 (given yesterday's action)
1358-1360 (obvious resistance)
1337-1339 (yesterday's low)
1323-1325 (from the 15th and the 19th)
Like I said in a previous post, support was at 1337-1339. These are the horizontal blue lines drawn across the chart.

Price opened above support and just went straight lower, like a knife through butter. It stopped around 1332 before going back to the support area, which should now act as resistance. I'm observing how the volume drops off gradually, so this looks typically like a low volume retracement after a breakout, right?

Then there's a volume peak that pierces the support level but the bar closes right down, and this is the 'shooting star' short signal I was looking for. The volume is much higher then before, so everything is according to plan.

However - and I can't get my head around why this is happening so often lately - price continues higher. I would almost get paranoid, but this would have been the 14th losing trade in a row. I stopped trading for real after 7 though. Perhaps I need to go short when I go long and the other way around. Certainly looks like that could work
