### **Mastering the Art of Short Selling: A Strategic Approach ### Analysis and S-Position Planning
#### **Market Analysis:**
1. **Trend Analysis (BB 104 0.1 and SMA 104):**
- The price remains **below BB 104 0.1 (lower)**, indicating a **strong downtrend**.
- The slope of **SMA 104** is clearly **downward**, confirming a persistent bearish trend.
2. **Bollinger Bands Analysis (BB 20 1):**
- The price is currently oscillating around the **Middle Band (MB)** of **BB 20 0.2**, suggesting a potential **short-term consolidation**.
- The price has not convincingly broken out of the **Channel LB12 (Lower Band 1 to Lower Band 2)**, indicating that the **downtrend may continue**.
---
#### **Position Planning (Short - S):**
1. **Position Sizing:**
- Due to the **downtrend confirmation** (BB 104 0.1 and SMA 104 downward), open the **first position at 1/3 (33.33%)** of the full position size.
- If the **ADX** indicates a strong trend (> 25), consider increasing the position to **1/2 (50%)**.
2. **Entry Points:**
- Ideal entry would be **at or near the Middle Band (MB)** of **BB 20 0.2**, as this represents a potential **resistance zone**.
- Another possible entry is when the price fails to break above the **Upper Band 1 (UB1)**, indicating **bearish pressure**.
3. **Scaling In:**
- If the price fails to break above **UB1** and continues downward, consider **scaling in** with an additional **1/3 (33.33%)** position.
4. **Stop Loss:**
- Use **BB 104 0.1 (upper)** as the **Stop Loss** to minimize risk and reduce the chance of a **false breakout**.
5. **Profit-Taking:**
- Consider taking partial profit near the **Lower Band 1 (LB1)** or **Lower Band 2 (LB2)**, depending on the strength of the downward momentum.
- Trail the remaining position with **BB 20 0.2 (high)** to lock in gains as the trend progresses.
---
#### **Risk Management:**
- Avoid adding to a losing position if the price **crosses above the MB** or **BB 104 0.1 (upper)**.
- Always reassess the trend if **ADX drops below 20** or **SMA 104 slope flattens**, indicating a potential **loss of momentum**.
---
#### **Summary:**
The current setup favors a **Short (S) position** due to the confirmed **downtrend** and **bearish pressure**. Focus on **position sizing and risk management** to minimize potential drawdowns. Adjust scaling and profit-taking according to **price action near the Bollinger Bands**.
