What actually matters here:
Resistance level → If DOCK clearly breaks and holds above it, then your thesis gets stronger

Red flags to watch:
Price making higher lows but volume fading
Quick wick above resistance → then rejection (classic trap)
Overall market turning risk-off

Let it break structure first
Enter on retest or confirmation
