-70% drawdown and they still got it as Stage 4 downtrend. anyone holding XRP since the 2021 highs is down catastrophic. SELL signal is 3 years late lol
70% drawdown from the high and theyre calling SELL? isnt that when youre supposed to buy the fear lol
death cross + price below 200d and youre quoting buy the fear? trend following says avoid, and the system is right here
MACD bullish divergence with OBV accumulation but still a SELL? thats the one thing that makes me think a bounce is coming. not buying but not selling here either
^ 2 bull factors vs 5 bear is pretty clear though. one green candle on the MACD doesnt fix a death cross and price below both MAs
$1.09 with a 52w high of $3.65 is rough. MACD bullish but everything else screaming downtrend, the OBV accumulation is a trap
death cross below 200 day MA and the model still says SELL at -70% drawdown. trend following systems dont care about your entry price, they care about momentum
ledger_kep_ exactly. trend following says avoid and the system is correct. people confuse drawdown with opportunity when the signal is literally telling you momentum is broken
70% drawdown from 3.65 and still a SELL. the death cross and price below both MAs is hard to argue with but calling SELL at the bottom feels like closing the barn door
texrat_ the OBV accumulation signal conflicts with the SELL though. someone is buying while price bleeds. classic divergence before a reversal or a trap
every time XRP gets a SELL rating from a quant model it randomly pumps 20 percent on some unrelated news. this coin moves on litigation rumors not technicals
MACD bullish divergence at 70% drawdown is the one signal that makes me hesitate on the short. not buying but not adding to short either
$1.09 with a 52w high of $3.65 and they call SELL. 70pct drawdown is usually where shorts get squeezed but the death cross says otherwise
MACD bullish divergence with OBV accumulation but still SELL. that divergence is the one signal that makes me think a bounce is coming. not buying but not adding short here
Isolde M. MACD divergence has been a trap on XRP for 2 years straight. every bullish cross gets faded into a new low. trust the trend
Isolde M. MACD divergence on XRP has been a trap for 2 years. every time it looks like accumulation price makes a new low. trust the trend not the divergence
70% drawdown and still SELL. the analysts arent wrong but calling SELL at the bottom of a 3 year bleed feels like telling people to sell their bags at 3am
death cross plus price below both MAs and people still quoting buy the fear. trend is your friend until the trend is down for 3 years
70pct drawdown with a death cross and they still publish SELL. where was this analysis at 3.65. bears come out at the bottom every single time
ChartBum bears publishing SELL at 70 pct drawdown is the oldest trick. wait for the capitulation call then buy the other side
trend models cant call tops either, they exit late and enter late. the same system that missed the ride down from 3.65 is now shorting into -70. thats just how momentum rules work
bear_trap_skeptic 70pct drawdown is exactly where short squeezars happen but the trend is down for 3 years. fighting a death cross because it feels cheap is how you catch a falling knife
drawdown_math_ MACD divergence being a trap for 2 years is the most honest thing in this comment section. XRP makes lower lows every time the divergence looks bullish
$1.09 with a 52w high of $3.65 and they still say SELL. everybody knows XRP is bleeding the question is whether the floor holds
the floor question is the whole trade. 1.09 held twice on the weekly so far, i want to see what happens when it tests a third time. third test usually breaks
