down 52.7% and the plan is just keep deploying the 30k in stages? respect the discipline but thats rough lol
staged buying into a -50% drawdown is literally how you fix cost basis, thats the entire point of the laddered plan
laddering only works if sellers actually dry up though. vol ratio of 0.75 with OBV sliding says distribution is still running, i want that flipped before stage 2 money goes in
same read on the OBV, its been rolling lower since june. if 0.68 gives way id rather wait for a real flush than catch bounce attempt number four
Curious how the Stage 1 bottom formation call holds up. If volume doesnt confirm in the next week or two, HOLD quietly turns into hope.
volume confirmation is the whole ballgame. seen way too many stage 1 labels slapped on charts that just kept bleeding
aster at 0.71 with ADX sitting at 9?? that chart is flatlined. no edge here, the WAIT call is right
adx 9 is basically hibernation lol, was looking at the same thing. 0.68 support is the line im watching
Down 52% from the high while SOL did +44.6% over three months. The comparison table alone shows where the momentum actually is.
Exactly. A trend system on a coin with a 9 ADX is pointless, needs actual movement. Waiting for a break of 0.77 before touching this.
golden cross and price over the 200d are the only bull factors and both are structural, not momentum. 3 vs 4 on the factor count basically is the WAIT call
