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
stack_sats_42 67pct drawdown and HOLD is rough but the 15k deployment plan is literally designed for this. spread entries from 0.19 to 0.08 means your average is like 0.13. only works if you believe in remittance use case
67% drawdown from 0.63 is rough but ADX at 9.3 literally means no directional conviction. deployment plan makes sense if you believe in XLM long term but calling it HOLD when theres zero trend momentum is copium
67% drawdown from 0.63 and the 15k deployment plan averages in. makes sense if you believe in the remittance use case, painful if you dont
ADX at 9.3 is basically no trend at all. calling this HOLD is generous, its just flatlining
ADX at 9.3 and they still call it HOLD. at least the trend-following system is honest about being directionless
Stellan R. calling it HOLD at ADX 9.3 is honest compared to most crypto analysis. at least they admitted the trend system is directionless instead of drawing arbitrary support lines
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
remittance_chad_ 34.5% pump while BTC bled is nice but XLM still depends on MoneyGram corridors for volume. organic demand is the question nobody can answer
ADX at 9.3 means this thing is going nowhere fast. calling it HOLD when theres literally no trend is generous. stage 3 topping with 4-4 factors is a coin flip
denar_cache_ stage 3 topping with 4-4 factors is genuinely a coin flip. calling it HOLD is generous when ADX is under 10
denar_cache ADX at 9.3 is the real tell. no trend means no signal. the deployment plan makes sense as DCA but calling it HOLD implies conviction when the indicators say flatline
4-4 stage 3 topping factors with ADX under 10 is basically a coin flip. the golden cross forming on the weekly might save this but ive seen golden crosses fail in low ADX environments more often than not
Vera Lindgren ADX under 10 with a golden cross forming is the kind of contradiction that gets people rekt. the cross says buy the ADX says nothing is happening
support at 0.17 held twice now. if it breaks its a freefall to 0.08 but the 52w low was literally one wick. not sure thats the base case
ADX at 9.3 and targets literally say 0.00 for both T1 and T2. even the analysis engine doesnt know what to do with XLM lol
70 percent drawdown from 0.63 to 0.19 and they call it a HOLD. this is why crypto analysis gets a bad reputation
