is this a fake-out or a real attempt to create a new ATH?

short and brief, i am not convinced that it could make to a new ATH right know, as you can see on the daily we are losing momentum and MACD has not been crossing bullish.
so if you bought the dip, this could be a good time to save some profit or moving up your stop loss. if you are considering to buy, my advice is to wait for 19000 resistance (or even better 19200) to break.
those who read my ideas, might already know that i am mostly a day trader and my main focus is on not losing money against making big profit. so i might be a little bit too cautious, but it fits me. and believe me, i have tried so many different approaches and i think what makes you a successful trader in the long run, is making decent profits over and over and losing as little as possible. those who win big, often lose big too and in the long run they'l get exhausted. so that works for me, if you don't like it, find your own way.
and as always, please do your own research, the fun of trading is in constant learning not making money. trade safe.
