autoliv ALV in the middle of a swing trade breakdown

Reason for Trade:  Another stock that has been in the watch list for a while now and one that I have only hoped would provide me with the opportunity to get short in. That day finally arrived, and I got short at $65.29. It is currently breaking below a very well-defined support level and should move lower in the days ahead. It does have earnings coming out on 1/30, so be aware of that, and don’t gample and take the risk of holding through it.

I’m also using a fairly tight stop-loss on this position because if the market continues to go up, I’ll want to get out. This stock should work as a great hede against my other two long positions as I am growing increasingly pessimistic that this market can hold it together much longer.
