Two tempting short setups — but one is hiding real dangerWhich pair would you short?
We’re looking at JCPB/BAB and AGG/GTO , both showing positive deviation and riding the upper Bollinger Band.
At first glance, both look ripe for a short… but dig deeper, and you'll see very different stories.
🔹 JCPB/BAB
Chart:
Low ADX, balanced DI+ / DI− → classic setup for a mean-reversion short.
But the last daily candle is a strong bullish bar — big, green, and decisive.
This could be the start of a breakout , and shorting into fresh upside momentum is dangerous.
Looks neutral — but hides bullish potential.
🔸 AGG/GTO
Chart:
Clear uptrend: DI+ dominates, price marching upward.
Also touching upper Bollinger Band, so yes — shorting here is fighting the trend.
But at least the risk is obvious , and you can frame the trade accordingly.
Transparent trend = measurable risk.
🧠 Bottom line:
JCPB/BAB may seem safer — but that green candle changes everything.
AGG/GTO is clearly trending — risky to short, but less deceptive.
