There is no question we are close or at resistance. I took this trade for four reasons.
1. Most catapults are very reliable. (failed catapults are typically strong reversals)
2. If it breaks through this resistance it will be at a new high.
3. even on the next chart higher (a 2.0 chart) we have a buy signal.
4. Relative strength made a double top buy signal.
I really don't disagree with anything you said other than trading this stock with a short bias. There is nothing in my charts that indicate this stock should be shorted.
If the catapult fails, your short bias will be correct and this stock will drop like a rock, but I first have to see an indication of failure.
edit: actually a fifth reason would be bullish percent chart is still moving up and still in an x column. No shorting for me while that indicator is in an x column.
