74% drawdown from 399 and they call it HOLD with low conviction lol ok
74.7% drawdown from the 399 high and the system says HOLD with low conviction. thats not a signal thats a shrug
lending_rat_42 exactly. RSI 62 and MACD bull cross but still below the 200d. youre buying a bounce not a trend
MACD bull cross on AAVE while price is still under the 200d is the most mixed signal possible. i get the wait call here
RSI at 62 is kinda healthy tho. not buying more but not dumping my bag either
the DCA 12 buys at -26.9% vs lump sum -43.3% is the only useful number here. time in market beats timing when youre down this much
74.7 percent drawdown from 399 and the system says HOLD with low conviction. thats not a signal thats a shrug. respect for not pretending otherwise tho
lend_skep_88 growing usage doesnt help holders if theres no buyback or fee share mechanism. same problem LDO has. protocol revenue doesnt equal token value
a shrug is honest at least. most newsletters would spin a 74 percent drawdown as a generational entry with zero conviction
growing usage doesnt help AAVE holders without buyback or fee share. same problem LDO has. protocol revenue means nothing if it never reaches token holders
DCA at -26.9pct vs lump sum at -43.3pct is the only useful stat in the whole analysis. everything else is just chart patterns
-26.9 vs -43.3 is the entire DCA pitch in two numbers. boring keeps winning on the way down too
dca wins on the way down, lump sum wins on the way up, and nobody ever knows which one they are in. thats the whole trick
the LDO comparison is right but aave at least has the safety module and a real treasury. LDO holders genuinely have nothing
safety module also caps how bad a bad debt event gets, see november 2022. LDO holders get a vote and a prayer, thats the actual difference
DCA at -26.9 percent vs lump sum at -43.3 percent is the only useful stat here. proves time in market still beats timing even on a token down 75 percent from ATH
AAVE at 100 while lending volume on mainnet is actually growing. the 200d SMA argument is valid but lending protocols dont need price appreciation to be useful
Oskar N. growing usage doesnt help token holders if there is no buyback or fee share. same problem as LDO
100.99 with the 10k deployment plan means bids staged all the way down. doesnt exactly scream belief in a bottom
staged bids down to 82.79 support is just risk management with extra steps. nobody deploys 10k on a wait no clear edge rating unless they expect the support test
bids staged down to 82 is just admitting the floor is a guess. hold label with a parachute attached, honestly respectable
staged bids down to 82 with a hold label is basically dca with paperwork. works until price gaps straight through 79 and your ladder fills all at once
Still holding from the 399 top down to double digits. The safety module is the only reason I slept through that 74.7 percent drawdown. Reclaim of the 200d at 104 before I add anything.
the safety module earning its keep in nov 2022 is why aave isnt LDO. one bad debt event separates protocols that planned from ones that prayed
