67% drawdown from the 52w high and they still call it HOLD. this is why trend following gets clowned on lol
68% drawdown from 146 and theyre calling it a HOLD? i mean yeah LTC has survived worse but thats some serious copium
RSI at 60.4 with price below the 200d MA is a weird mix. means the bounce is real but the macro trend is still broken imo
^ the death cross + 50d falling confirms that. any bounce into the 50d is a short opportunity not a hold
LTC at 47 is honestly decent accumulation territory if you believe the halving narrative plays out again
^ the halving narrative has been diminishing every cycle. 2016 was huge, 2020 was mid, 2024 barely moved the needle for LTC. why would this time be different
