96% down from the high and they still have a SELL rating? at some point this is just copium for people who missed the top. EIGEN at 21 cents is either a zero or a 10x, no in between
either a zero or a 10x is exactly why sizing matters more than the rating. 21 cents after a 96% drawdown, small tranche or nothing
96% down from the high and they still tagged it Stage 3 Topping lol. how much lower can it even go from here
tbf the 50d is rising and RSI is at 42 which is barely oversold. could chop here for weeks before another leg down
from 0.21 another 50% is 0.10, math doesnt care about the base rate. restaking tokens dont get a floor just because they already fell 96
the same people calling 21 cents a floor were calling 60 cents a floor last year. floors are a sentiment indicator, nothing more
backtest lost 66% and thats WITH a trend filter on. buy and hold woulda wiped 75%. this thing is uninvestable at any timeframe
atr_watcher_ a trend filter that still loses 66 percent is decorative. sideways chop eats both directions and restaking tokens just bleed through it
a 66 percent loss rate means the filter IS the strategy, just inverted. flip the signal and you outperform half of restaking twitter
death cross at 21 cents is barely news. the real problem is restaking AVS economics still dont work without massive token incentives
@Dimitri V. exactly, the AVS revenue thing was always circular. pay validators in EIGEN to secure stuff that generates fees paid in EIGEN. how is that sustainable
EIGEN at $0.21 down from $5.65 is a 96% drawdown. shared security is a cool thesis but the token has zero value accrual and the sell call is correct
restake_refugee_ value accrual keeps getting promised next upgrade while AVS fees stay denominated in everything except EIGEN. a fee switch would fix it, they aint shipping one while TVL keeps walking out
a fee switch would just move the dumping, validators selling AVS fees in EIGEN instead of ETH adds sell pressure from a different group. tokenomics lose either way
validators selling AVS fees in EIGEN would at least tie them to the stack. right now they dump the ETH rewards and EIGEN holders get nothing on either side of the trade
the whole ballgame is AVS fees getting denominated in EIGEN. until that happens the token is a governance pet rock at any price, 21 cents or 5 dollars
0.21 against a 5.65 high and the validators are still online. people hold restaking bags for optionality the way XRP bags held for a court ruling. sunk cost with extra steps
optionality framing is copium with a spreadsheet. every restaking bag tells itself the AVS demand is one upgrade away. two years of next quarter
0.21 from a 5.65 high and the analysis still has to argue SELL. Some charts do the work for you. Those deployment entry zones look generous given the bleed
generous is one word for it. those entry zones assume the bleed slows down, nothing on the chart says it has to
entry zones below spot are a free option. if it never trades there the plan did nothing, if it does youre catching the next leg down
0.21 against a 5.65 high and nobody defends the token anymore, only the tech. tells you exactly where the remaining holders are mentally
a 35k deployment plan for a token down 96 percent is just a DCA schedule with a psychology degree attached
backtest down 66% with a filter on and the call is still SELL. respect the consistency, most analysts flip bullish at -96% just for engagement
