GNC SHORT potential on trendline breakdown

Short
ericsolan Updated   
NYSE:GNC   None
As GNC breaks its major upward trendline , a short position is entered with a tight stop.
As this trade progresses, longs would will be forced to exit, creating a potential for a steep move down

Factors leading to the decision:
  • Long-term upward trendline broken
  • Decent bullish volume showed up at the trendline break, noticeable to traders looking for a sign to confirm the recent downward pressure
  • A recent small retracement created a lower-high which is an ideal place to put a tight stop for the trade
  • The short-term trend is down, so this trade is considered to be with that trend

As always, use a tight-stop and if it rips down, let it run and trail stops behind.
