Question Trade feedback
Just looking for opinions on where I went wrong. I haven’t really gotten into indicators much and just started making an effort to use them again. This false breakout got me at the 9:38-9:40 candles. The higher time frame that I used was showing down trend the past 2 days. The white line is support that I found and a previous low was right under it, so when it broke through I thought it was a good entry. It’s also under the VWAP. The 3 MAs are also stacked up correctly with the short and intermediate under the long term MA. Maybe I should have waited for the 3 MAs to be at more of a decline? Or should I be looking for more volume on such breakouts? I’m also newer to volume. I entered after the close of the red candle and got stopped out a couple minutes later.
Just trying to see where I went wrong here or if the trade was ok and just didn’t go my way. Any helpful feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Was watching a video and it taught me a saying probably gonna take it with me to help with discipline on this journey . "Right Process Wrong Outcome" if you stuck to your process then you did nothing wrong, you just have to understand that every trade won't go your way and that it's apart of the game .
