asnd at 30, always seems to go back down. hopefully this time it will hold. i trade asnd but only when it dips towards 28 and sell at 29 or so. even today asnd can not punchout 30. i have a long position, and i will be happy when asnd breaks this pattern, but until then i look for 28 1/4 to take another short term position. i will be surprised if the short position does not increase this month with how asnd has traded.
