LTC at $47 when the 52w high is $146. that hurts to look at
4 bull 4 bear is basically a coin flip. no edge means no trade, simple
litecoin halving already priced in months ago. dont expect magic
halving_ghost_ halving narrative only works in bull markets. at 47 with a 146 high nobody is buying the supply cut story
47.54 with a 146 high is a 67% drawdown and the call is HOLD? feel like thats generous
chart_maven_88 LTC has always been a slow grind. held since 2021 and seen worse drawdowns than this
4 bull 4 bear indicators is literally noise. if your analysis is a coin flip just say so
Sven A. calling it a coin flip is generous. 4 bull 4 bear with a HOLD conclusion means the analysis adds zero directional value. just DCA and skip the indicator theatre
35000 deployment across 4 indicators giving equal weight to on-chain and macro is fine for a thesis but terrible for execution. on-chain signals lag price by 2-3 weeks. by the time MVRV flashes the move already happened
35000 deployment plan at these prices is basically dollar cost averaging with extra steps. not mad at it
