The original short thesis is playing out exactly as described: price has broken below the $350.13 support level and is now retesting it as resistance from below at $349.78. All momentum indicators (4h RSI 39.17, MACD negative/falling, price below both SMAs) remain bearish. The regime has shifted from neutral to bearish direction since entry, now aligned with the position. The XLF confirms sector weakness, and fresh catalysts (Core CPI acceleration, mortgage rate discount campaign signaling margin pressure) support continued downside toward the $342.97 target within the remaining horizon.
The original short thesis remains valid. Price is below critical resistance levels ($350.14 and $351.55), and momentum indicators (RSI, MACD) confirm bearish participation. The Financials sector (XLF) is weak, and the broader regime has shifted to bearish, supporting the downside case. The upcoming FOMC meeting could act as a catalyst for further downside.
The core short thesis is intact: JPM remains below all key moving averages, 1d momentum has deepened (MACD histogram -1.239, RSI 43.76 falling), regime has drifted from neutral to bearish, and XLF continues to confirm sector weakness with JPM underperforming. Price is pinned at the $350.14 resistance-flip only ~2% above the $343.00 target with the $357.50 stop untouched, so the risk/reward and path remain valid.
No model argued for EXIT.

▼ Click to expandThe position has only made 22.6% progress toward target after 5 of 15 days, with volume remaining depressed (percentile 12) suggesting lack of conviction in the breakdown. The FOMC meeting tomorrow is a binary event that could trigger a sharp reversal in bank stocks. The 30-minute RSI at 40.07 near the lower Bollinger band signals short-term exhaustion, and a bounce that reclaims $350.14 would invalidate the breakdown thesis entirely.
