-43% drawdown but still above the 200d, thats the only reason im not touching my ARB bag. ADX at 10.7 tho, this is gonna chop sideways forever
WAIT with 6 bull factors vs 3 bear? feels like the system is hedging. either the golden cross means something or it doesnt
^ its the MACD and the 1.38x volume on a down day doing it. momentum says up, tape says careful, WAIT is the honest call
DCA 6 buys at +91.4% beating lump sum again. nobody times the top entry, tranche it and sleep fine
stop at 0.17 is basically support, makes sense. but both targets showing -100% looks like a data glitch in the engine lol
hold call at 0.19 with the 52w high sitting at 0.33, that drawdown is already brutal. deployed a third of my stack around these levels, rest stays dry for another leg down imo
Keeping two thirds dry around 0.19 is sensible until the DAO shows where the treasury actually goes. Tranche two near the 0.17 stop level would be my line too.
^ dry powder gang. L2 fees are basically nothing now so the tech works, the token just hasnt found a bid. holding is the only sane rating
holding is the only sane rating is wild when the targets column literally renders as -100%. tech can work and the token can still bleed, weve seen that movie since the airdrop
Splitting 15k across tranches instead of one entry is the right move for ARB. Volatility on this thing will shake out anyone who goes all in at 0.19.
^ agreed on the tranches but 3 entries on 15k is a lot of babysitting. just set the 0.17 alert and walk away, same result less screen time
