vol ratio 1.31 with OBV climbing is the quiet part here. nobody wants to buy a -81 drawdown story but the accumulation says someone is
the 2yr backtest ends at 16,345 from 30k and the call is still BUY at high conviction lol. respect printing the sim but cmon
the sim ate the 55.70 blowoff top, every trend system did. catching the +58.9% off 5.69 is the trade it sets up for
every honest trend sim on avax eats the 55.70 blowoff and still ends positive over two years. garbage systems hide their blowoff losses instead
Golden cross with ADX at 27 is solid, but resistance sits at 11.98 and that is barely 16% of upside. Half size now, rest on the breakout.
Half size at 10.28 feels right. If it clears 11.98 the 200d is already rising underneath you anyway, and RSI 51 leaves room to run.
RSI 51 is doing heavy lifting when the 200d only just flattened. half size reads generous, quarter reads right
sold at 9.40 last month and now it prints above both MAs without me. every time
sold at 9.40 and now its holding above both MAs at 10.28 lol. trend systems are designed to make you feel dumb exactly like this
-81 pct drawdown, one golden cross, and every chart guy crawls back. 11.98 is where conviction actually gets tested, not the cross itself
