I'm kind of new to this and trying to cover my bases

bought in to the AMD due to hype on Monday (admittedly) at $14.15/share and almost got pussy hands later on in the day, and today, with the fluctuation

I decided to hold due to a few things: speculation was that AMD was making massive sales with their new processor, the large volume of stock being bought/sold and tight margin indicated relative safety in volatility (it wasn't about to bottom out at least), and according to the graph for the last 1.5 months we were seeing a progressively higher level of support pushing against the level resistance (which I've read indicates an impending breakout once the bulls finally beat the bear wall)

I know I still got lucky so could anyone experienced tell me something I may have been overlooking or misread that could have still fucked me
