Chart Analysis
On the daily timeframe, LCATTLE: D1 approached the support line of the rising channel. It must be broken down before opening a position. A number of technical analysis indicators formed signals for further decline. We do not rule out a bearish movement if LCATTLE: D1 falls below the last down fractal and the lower Bollinger band: 138. This level can be used as an entry point. Initial risk limitation may be higher than the maximum since October 2015, the last 2 upper fractals, the upper Bollinger band and the Parabolic signal: 143.5. After opening a pending order, we move the stop following the Bollinger and Parabolic signals to the next fractal maximum. Thus, we change the potential profit/loss ratio in our favor. The most cautious traders after making a trade can switch to a four-hour chart and set a stop loss, moving it in the direction of movement. If the price overcomes the stop level (143.5) without activating the order (138), it is recommended to delete the order: the market is undergoing internal changes that were not taken into account.
