KCS is an exchange token in a year where the exchange sector keeps re-rating downward. ADX at 16 means no trend to follow, the system saying avoid is just admitting there is nothing to trade here
every DCA variant beating lump sum by 5-8x on final value is the loudest signal in the whole table. timing risk dominated everything this year, anyone who averaged in still has capital to work with
resistance at 7.98 with price under both moving averages is a long walk for a medium conviction call. wait for the reclaim of the 50d at 7.35 before even discussing entries
2 bull factors vs 5 bear and the verdict is still only MEDIUM conviction? id love to know what a full avoid looks like on this system lol
held KCS since 2021 for the fee discounts, and honestly the trend system is right here. volume on KuCoin is a shadow of what it was.
fair point on the volume, but gold lining was listed as bullish. thats an exchange token trading like a macro hedge now, weird market
