The bottom line, the short-term trend is up, not confirmed though. I hold trapped short position overnight. I should have closed the short position but since the setup is to short at the close, so I’ll keep the short position for one more night. The chart pattern looks like a new high is not a question though. I’ll use 15 min or 30 min Open Range to decide whether to close the short position, if indeed the market gaps sharply higher tomorrow morning.
