The high volatility you bought more on a overbought point. “These bands adjust to volatility, meaning they will expand during points of heightened volatility and contract during times of low volatility. When a stock price reaches a lower band, it could be considered “oversold” and when it reaches it’s upper band it could be considered “overbought.” Now that a foundation has been laid, let’s talk about how we will be using them."

I noticed it was right at the top of the Linear Regression Channel-100%.

I agree on the volume, but there was a hell of amount of support in the $60- range in the past the stock sat there on both an up swing and a down swing for a total of about 4 1/2 months.... So far back it would have been easy to miss / overlook

I like this game Jeff! let's see...

1) the "breakout" of the flag pattern over the last week was on half the volume of the "breakout" of the previous flag pattern, so it wasn't an entry signal...

2) the longer term chart 10yr/weekly has some resistance in this area, but technically, it did close above it yesterday, but you taught us that resistance is an "area" not a line in the sand, so a longer term look might have been warranted.

3) Aside from the overbought conditions, the macd shows a bearish divergence with the last "big move" and yesterdays move... all of these are what you look for with 20-20 hindsight, and I imagine easily overlooked when you're excited about a trade that's gone your way...

The tunnel vision you spoke of earlier this week got the best of you I think. You saw what you wanted to see. Considering the repetitive pattern in the last week, I'm sure I would have expected a move up too. That, of course is no consolation.

The lower Bollinger Band had turned up as the price had began to move down off the upper band. I think I've heard or read something along the lines that this can indicate the price is pulling back or leveling off. I'm a bit fuzzy on this.
