Nice entry, but like you said no reason to sell.

So this was a flat top breakout, compare to a flag breakout. Flat top breakouts resistance comes strong support, so its healthy for it to come back to tap it. Its healthy for a flag breakout to come back to support, however its not always as strong and you have to either give it more room, or cover it all early like you did.

So if it was flag breakout, what you did was not the best, but expectable, however it was more flat topish so you should've held.
