DOT at 1.02 down from 11.60 hurts to read. golden cross and rising 50d, yet OBV going down means the bounce has zero real buyers behind it
vol ratio 0.4 is the detail everyone ignores. low volume golden cross in a 91% drawdown is usually a trap
^ the OBV bit. price riding toward the 50d at 1.14 while volume bleeds out is exactly how fakeouts get retail
backtest turns 12k into 6,044 and the plan still says deploy 3k with a stop at 0.87. hard pass until that 1.00 support proves something
RSI 37.2 with negative MACD and they still label it Stage 3 topping instead of full downtrend. generous grading for a coin below 1.10
Stage 3 with ADX at 17.4 does feel generous. A trend that weak usually just chops between 1.00 and 1.14 instead of dumping clean.
