How do we trade the short side: on a breakdown below $150 or on a pullback?

We can see below that shorting a breakdown did not work in the past. I believe that a push down has been attracting buyers and the stock reversed up.

The best is hence to short a bounce.

A sensitivity analysis on the entry price shows that shorting between 157.5 and 163 is acceptable.
