Viewing the daily time frame, POT appears to still be in a clear downtrend with little, if any, technical evidence of a reversal. The bullish divergence, which indicates the likely potential for a trend reversal, is the primary development that on that time frame that helps to confirm an entry here with the technical developments on the weekly chart (in the following order of significance) being the main reasons for establishing a position here: POT is trading at long-term support (especially considering the fact that so far this week, prices briefly broke below that level but has since regained it, a potential wash-out move/bullish development but we need that to stick by Friday’s close). We also have the fact that POT is & has been trading at rarely seen oversold levels.
With that being said, you bring up some good points & I probably should have clarified that this is clearly a counter-trend trade taken on the anticipation of a reversal form at or near this long-term support level. As you mentioned, to wait for a breakout above that daily downtrend line would greatly increase the odds of this playing out as a longer-term trade, albeit at a less favorable entry price (about 10% or so higher).
Although my current bias & outlook for the market remains bearish, I will also strive to post the best looking trade ideas, both on the long & short side, usually taking the majority of those trades personally. POT is a trade that I like for my longer-term accounts, like IRAs, in which even if the stock price trades sideways for months, the dividend (unless severely cut or eliminated, in which case the stock price would fall sharply & exceed my stop anyway) will provide a decent return as well as help buoy the stock in a falling market.
One strategy for POT would be a partial (1/4 to 1/2 position) entry here, bringing the trade to a full position on a break above either the R1 level (16.72) and/or the first price target (downtrend line).

Thank you for any thoughts one would have.
