11:30 AM – Shares are once again getting turned back from their 10 DMA. That repeated rejection marks a FINAL SELL SIGNAL, and I’m closing the remaining position here at $65.51 for a -7.4% loss.

This trade is now fully exited. Preserving capital and cutting laggards remains key as I continue to reduce margin and overall market exposure.
