Updates - 18 March 2017:
- Price is up towards the end of the week and now still hovering around the 200MA resistance and 1.440 horizontal resistance area
- Things might not look good now, but i will hold on to this trade and only make my next step depending on the future price action at the area.
Trade closed: stop reached
Updates - 26 March 2017:
- Trade stopped out at SL point
- Probably a premature entry with the minor bearish divergence. Maybe i pushed the bearish divergence too much as 7 March does not really formed a swing high
- However, a possible bearish divergence formed after breaking out of the 200MA resistance.

Lesson learned:
- Probably an avoidable trade if i have check before entry on the bearish divergence formation.
