Studying recent price action in SOXL (3X ETF on SMH - semiconductor segment). Example of an uptrend that ended (as defined by 34EMA wave), and then a retracement from 200MA back up to the 34. In this scenario, be cautious about buying into the bounce as it can often drop back down after reaching the 34 again from the bottom. Past support becomes current resistance.

Capture gains tactically but exiting a portion of the position once reaching that potential resistance, and again if the breakdown does occur. Determination of what is considered a breakdown, and how much to reduce is suggested as 2 candles showing downtrend, and 50% reduction.
