67% drawdown from 0.63 and they call it HOLD. the trend-following system literally says death cross and 50d falling but yeah lets hold
^ its a deployment plan not a moon call. 15k spread across entries means you average down if it keeps bleeding, thats the whole point
ADX at 9.3 is basically no trend at all. calling this HOLD is generous, its just flatlining
golden cross on XLM is interesting but 50d MA at 0.20 and price at 0.19 means its still below the short term trend. not buying yet
@Selma O. the golden cross already happened so the 50d will drop below 0.20 soon if price stays here. these crossovers lag hard on low ADX
XLM actually pumped 34.5% over 3 months while BTC and ETH bled. thats not nothing
been holding xlm since 2021 at 0.38. this analysis is actually pretty fair, stage 3 topping with 4-4 factors means literally flip a coin
ATR volatility 4.94% daily on a coin worth 19 cents. absolute casino. one bad candle and youre down 10%
targets literally say 0.00 for both T1 and T2. even the analysis engine gave up lmao
support at 0.17 is the line in the sand. if that breaks this thing goes to single cents fast. 52w low was 0.08
52 week high 0.63 and now trading 0.19. thats a 70% drawdown on a coin people called boring. HOLD is generous
dimitri_v_ 70% drawdown on XLM is just tuesday for stellar holders. been doing this since 2018
