138.9% in a year and the system still says wait. that -13.6% month is doing all the work here, below the 50d at 4.10 feels like its rolling over
The 200d sits way down at 2.35 though. If price holds above that the bottoming thesis is intact, I would rather wait for a reclaim of 4.10.
4.10 reclaim crew here too. funny how golden cross + OBV up gets discounted but one -13.6% month overrides everything, the weighting feels off
trend systems are supposed to punish drawdowns, that -13.6% month is the system doing its job. boring, but it keeps you solvent
Reclaim of 4.10 with a 4.24% daily ATR could happen in one strong session. I set an alert instead of staring at the chart all day.
golden cross + OBV accumulation and still stage 1? mixed signals everywhere, this is why i just dca and ignore the stage labels lol
dca through stage 1 is honestly the cheat code lol. system says WAIT at 3.41 while accumulation prints, vol ratio 1.52 says someone is buying the dip
the stage labels lag by design, stage 1 bottoming is the system admitting it doesnt know. dca and log off is a valid answer to that
the system admitting it doesnt know is the feature. stage 1 dca and log off beats forcing trades at 3.41
4.24 percent daily atr on a token called lighter, the naming department had one job
support at 3.03 getting tested soon imo. 4.24% daily ATR is no joke, this thing moves
agreed on the ATR but RSI at 45 is mid, its not even oversold. knife catching vibes tbh
3.03 support with 200d at 2.35 as backup is a decent cushion. not touching it till the 50d flattens out though
a flat 50d up at 4.10 is weeks away at this vol, meanwhile 3.03 is getting pressed every session. pick your pain
3.03 getting pressed every session is the part that worries me. support tested often enough eventually breaks
vol ratio 1.52 with price stuck under the 50d is the classic divergence. someone is loading while everyone argues about the WAIT label
divergence take is right. vol ratio 1.52 under a flat 50d is accumulation until it isnt, worst case you wait
