I have more lines in there but this channel is present too. I am banking that it gets at least to the middle of the channel to PP. to close one position and see if the second still runs where I expect. my stop is at 99.60 for both positions with entries 99.36 and 99.25

I usually do not like and do not take such channels break outs to downside.

Looks like we have a hit to the upper channel.
Chikot, if you dont like to trade channel breakouts, what do you trade then? Price action meaning bounce of support/resistance, price formations (converging triangle, double bottom/top, etc) ?

Volatility has been steadily going down for days.
It's consolidation. The longer it consolidates the stronger will be the next move.

Perhaps, on the 4hr and hourly, yet the daily is still bullish. But as we are not breaking 100 yet, I'm beginning to feel like a big bad BEAR that will play with the bulls at the appropriate levels.
Live to trade another day...

I have same feeling. This is the reason I am getting up at 3:00 a.m. EST. Usually, those moves start at this time. The longer it cannot break above 100 the harder it can fall.
