Short Trade Setup – QDEL!

36
📉
🔹 Asset: QuidelOrtho Corporation (NASDAQ: QDEL)
🔹 Timeframe: 30-Minute Chart
🔹 Setup Type: Rising Wedge Breakdown (Reversal Play)

📌 Trade Plan (Short Position)
✅ Entry Zone: Around $36.36 (Breakdown confirmation below wedge support)
✅ Stop-Loss (SL): Above $39.02 (Wedge invalidation / previous high)

🎯 Take Profit Targets
📌 TP1: $32.91 – First support zone
📌 TP2: $29.62 – Gap-fill and major support

📊 Risk-Reward Calculation
📉 Risk: $39.02 - $36.36 = $2.66
📈 Reward to TP1: $36.36 - $32.91 = $3.45 → R/R = 1:1.3
📈 Reward to TP2: $36.36 - $29.62 = $6.74 → R/R = 1:2.53 ✅

🔍 Technical Highlights
📌 Rising wedge breakdown with rejection at top
📌 Strong prior gap-up now looks overextended
📌 Bearish confirmation candle forming near resistance
📌 Weak volume follow-up suggests fading strength

📈 Execution Strategy
📊 Enter on breakdown candle below $36.36
📉 Place SL above $39.02 to protect against fakeouts
💰 TP1 at $32.91, trail to TP2 at $29.62

🚨 Invalidation Risk
❌ Break and hold above $39.02 invalidates short thesis
❌ Strong volume push upward = re-evaluate

🚀 Final Take
✔ Classic reversal pattern after vertical move
✔ Favorable R:R with clean breakdown structure
✔ Stay disciplined, trade the confirmation, not emotion!
