Elena Kowalski putting a 12k deployment plan on a Stage 4 downtrend is strange framing. RSI 31.3 can stay oversold for months while the unlocks keep hitting
0.48 down from a 1.45 high and the sell call still feels generous tbh. been dragging a bag since the airdrop and this thing just bleeds
airdrop bag gang rise up lol. averaged down twice since 1.10 and at this point im just numb to the bleed
averaged down on airdrop bags twice myself, never again. that golden cross means nothing with 8 bear factors stacked against it
^ the unlocks part is the whole thesis honestly. every mantle rally gets sold into, no idea who is left buying
unlocks plus a thin buyback, every bounce is exit liquidity. cut mine at 0.52 and closed the tab
0.52 exit looking smart with support at 0.47 barely holding. ADX 26.7 on a downtrend is the one stat that says dont catch this knife
67% off the high and holders still waiting on the next airdrop. the 12k deployment plan reads like a farewell tour
Agree with the sell rating. A 67% drawdown from the 52-week high and a 12k deployment plan changes nothing while unlocks keep hitting the market. Trimmed my last position yesterday.
