support sitting exactly at spot price is such a tao thing. rsi 37.6 with price still above the 200d, would want a reclaim of 273 before adding anything here
Reclaiming the 50d near 274 makes sense, but look at the backtest first. 24 trades, 42% win rate, and it still lost 2.1%. Doing nothing is a valid strategy here.
42% win rate beating buy and hold by 17 points, that part never stops being funny. the max dd gap is tiny though, 15.9 vs 19.7
doing nothing squad checking in. adx at 13.5 means there is barely a trend to follow anyway, low conviction label is doing a lot of heavy lifting here
the 3M table is wild, TAO up 11.6% while ETH bleeds 2.2%. still waiting for rsi to climb back above 40 before touching this
^ rsi under 40 has been the tell all year. only reason i am not flat bearish is the golden cross with price still above the 200d at 243
targets at 1268 and 2279 with a stop at 232.95 feels like wishful thinking on a stage 1 bottom. show me a reclaim of the 321 resistance first, then we talk
