golden cross, 50d rising, above the 200d, and its still only 3 bull vs 6 bear. that bear factor count is doing a lot of work here
^ this. chart says bottoming but 6 bear factors says wait. no clear edge is a fair take at 1080
the no clear edge call is honest. i ran the staged entries below 1080 myself and it turns a boring hold into something you can actually manage
fair, but 3 of those 6 bear factors are basically the same momentum read counted twice. golden cross with price above the 200d is the stronger signal imo
fair point on the double counted momentum reads, but a golden cross under 1100 with the halving supply squeeze still ahead is decent odds for a hold
35.8% down from 1683 and still holding. been through two ZEC cycles, this is usually where it gets boring before it finally moves
boring is right, i stopped checking it daily. if 1080 holds the slow grind up continues imo
same energy as the late 2024 chop before the move. boring usually pays the patient ones at these levels
15k split across staged entries below 1080 instead of one lump buy, thats the part most people skip. sizing does half the work in a HOLD call
35 percent off the 1683 high with shielded activity still climbing is my favorite kind of quiet chart. most people only look after it reclaims 1200
