adx 13 and they call it HOLD, thats basically the system saying no trend exists. fair verdict tbh
exactly, rsi 43 with atr over 4% a day just means chop. no edge until it picks a side of 0.15 or 0.21
-46% from the 0.31 high but still double the 0.07 low. stage 1 bottoming is the right read, anyone aping in now is early at best
3 bull vs 5 bear factors and OBV leaking with vol ratio 0.77, the distribution is real. waiting for a reclaim of 0.19 before i touch this
targets at 0.00 with -100% return, the engine really said hold and pray lol. stop at 0.15 is the only part of the plan i’d actually follow
its a template bug, seen it on a few of these analysis posts. the useful bit is the DCA table anyway, 4 buys ended at 24,593 vs 21,999 lump sum
came here to say the same about the 0.00 targets lol. the 4 tranche DCA at 24,593 vs 21,999 lump is the only table that matters anyway
ADX at 13.2 means there’s basically no trend to follow here. Credit to the system for saying wait instead of forcing a signal on RSI 43.
arb +88% on the year while eth does +14.8% and everyone still calls it the l2 that failed. bought the september 0.13 dip, waiting for 0.21
+88% on the year while eth grinds out 14.8 kinda kills the failed l2 narrative for good. same boat, added at 0.13, first trim at 0.21 unless the whole market dumps again
0.21 first trim feels right if the eth ratio holds. l2s that outperform during the eth boring phase usually mean-revert hard though
mean reversion vs continued outperformance is the whole arb question. +88 while eth does 14 says the ratio trade already happened, adding here is betting the ratio goes parabolic not just holds
half off the 0.31 high with vol ratio 0.77, holding beats forcing a trade. watching whether 0.15 survives a retest before adding anything
0.15 surviving a retest is the tell. if it holds with the market dumping elsewhere the accumulation story gets real
retest crowd forgetting the 52w drawdown started at 0.31, everyone underwater above 0.20 is a supply wall. i trim into strength not hope
0.15 holding while the market dumps elsewhere would be the strongest accumulation tell so far. problem is l2 tokens havent decoupled from eth once this year, still waiting on that retest
