LTC at 47 bucks with a 146 high is brutal. OBV rising and MACD positive but still below the 200d, classic chop zone
67% drawdown and they still rate it HOLD? thats some copium right there
the backtest literally shows -47% returns over 2 years with a 39% win rate. why would anyone follow this system
@Marco D. trend following on LTC has been rough but the DCA 12 buys at -33% beats lump sum at -51%. timing matters even for dead bags
4 bull 4 bear factors and low conviction, so basically the system is saying idk lol. respect the honesty though
exactly, RSI at 64 with vol ratio 1.61 looks decent but death cross invalidates the bullish case imo. 12k deployment into this is brave
RSI at 64.4 with price below the 200d MA at 54.93. death cross confirmed. this is a bounce in a downtrend not a reversal
47.54 with that 146 high from last cycle, holding through the drawdown
52w high was 146 and now its 47 bucks. used to be the silver to bitcoins gold but nobody talks about LTC anymore honestly
halving was supposed to be the catalyst lol. still down 67% a year later. mining LTC at these prices gotta be brutal
resistance at 47.78 and current price 47.54. literally right under the wall. if it breaks its a quick move to 51
12k deployment plan on ltc at these levels makes sense for the long haul
