rsi 31 with price still under the 50d at 2.32, this can keep bleeding. support at 1.84 is the line im watching, lose that and the 1.13 low gets retested
2.32 vs 1.88 is a big gap to close without volume. golden cross alone wont do it, agree on 1.84 being the level
the 200d at 1.71 is the only real bull here tbh. six bear factors vs two says wait, the system is right
the 200d at 1.71 is carrying the whole bull case, take that away and this is a short. even the 2y backtest bled 36 percent with a 60 max dd, system is telling you to sit out
the 36 percent 2y backtest bleed with a 60 max dd already told us to sit out. i read the 200d at 1.71 as the last excuse to stay in a trade that pays nothing to wait
1.84 has been the line all month. hold it here with rsi 31 and a bounce toward 2.32 is on the table, lose it and the 1.13 low is the next stop
hold they say, while its down 58.9 percent from 4.57. my CAKE bags arent moving anywhere either lol
down 58.9 from the 4.57 high and HOLD is stockholm syndrome with a chart. 1.84 is the only number in this whole piece that decides anything
the aug buy at 1.43 into 1.76 made 15 percent, then the october chop gave most of it back. at least the log is honest, most CAKE calls out there are pure copium
golden cross in a downtrend that already gave back the august gains is decoration. i want to see 1.84 hold on actual volume before trusting any bounce toward 2.32
