Stage 3 topping with a death cross and they rate it HOLD. LTC at 47 down from 146 is not a topping scenario, its a slow bleed
exactly, calling it topping while sitting 67% below ath is wild. the system needs a sanity check on stage labels
CoinCynic stage 3 topping at 67% below ATH is genuinely hilarious. LTC has been bleeding for 2 years straight and the system calls it a top. someone needs to recalibrate
LTC down from 146 to 47 and they rate it HOLD. the 52 week high is 3x the current price. at some point hold just means give up and stop checking
