HESS SHORT potential on trendline breakdown

Short
ericsolan Updated   
NYSE:HES   Hess Corporation
As HES breaks its minor 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, at least to the trend start around $43

Factors leading to the decision:
  • Price was rejected trying to make a new high in November, creating a new major downtrend
  • Medium-term upward trendline broken, so now we look for downward continuation
  • Very heavy volume on the bar that broke the downtrend

The bad news is there's no recent retracement to tuck a stop above... so the stop on this trade is a big wider than I like, and it will be inside the trend around $62.50
As always, use a tight-stop and if it rips down, let it run and trail stops behind.
Trade closed: stop reached:
Stopped out on a V reversal
