TECH Short trade on break of upward wedge

Short
ericsolan Updated   
NASDAQ:TECH   Bio-Techne Corp
TECH recently broke its major upward trendline, creating a short trade possibility with a small risk and high reward.
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 $190

Factors leading to the decision:
  • Price was rejected trying to make a new high in January, creating a new minor downtrend
  • Heavy volume as it broke the upward trendline
  • Today (entry day) price came up to re-test the trendline and was rejected
  • Price has crossed and held below the 20ma two weeks ago
  • Two recent high fractals offer great places for tight technical stops

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

I was stopped out of this successful trade at 180.25 for a 15% gain
