RUNE Descending Wedge on Watch - Potential Bullish Breakout
Watching for a potential bullish breakout for RUNE on a clearly defined long-term descending wedge. This is not an easy type of trade to take in my opinion because you need to be present during the breakout and observe the price action. You want to be entering on the break when there is volume coming through. If the price breaks out and quickly gets rejected or trades sideways with little volume, then you just sell out at breakeven or a small loss and consider it a dud. The key is to minimize your risk in an attempt to catch a large swing move because a bounce on the weekly timeframe for RUNE is likely coming sooner than later.
If you choose to enter prior to it breaking out I would put the stop at $4.06 which is only a 3.3% loss for a potential 18-20% gain. Understand that probability will likely lean towards getting stopped out in this scenario but the risk to reward is worth it. What we are attempting to do is catch the weekly bounce which could be anywhere between a 20-100% move to the upside.

Trade closed manually:
Should have been stopped out with a small loss when the price broke back into a triangle. Can't win them all.
Zoom out to the weekly and you tighten an equilibrium pattern with a huge range. Looking at it now, entering in for a long-term swing position with a stop at the recent lows @ $3.26 makes a lot of sense as well for swing traders.
