UOB rejected at $20.00 resistance with Bearish Engulfing pattern with a spike in trading volume. Is it a first sign of trend reversal? Anyway, I have shorted the stock using CFD base on my trading strategy “Buy Near Support, Sell Near Resistance” when I see a reversal candlestick pattern with a very tight stop loss just slightly above $20.00 resistance. All other technical indicators have not shown any bearish signals yet.
On a bigger scale, UOB is showing a Huge Ascending Triangle with a tough pyschological resistance at $20.00. 200D SMA support is at about $19.15.
