-94.4% from the high and the call is HOLD not accumulate? lmao what system flags a 94% drawdown as stage 3 topping
@rune_bag_404 its not topping, stage 3 in trend-following means distribution. basically means no edge either direction. the system is saying dont gamble
4 bull 4 bear factors with low conviction is the most honest analysis ive seen. most CT accounts would be screaming buy or sell with zero nuance
OBV rising with volume ratio 2.75 is the only bullish signal that matters here. price below 200d and MACD bear cross says dont touch it yet
94% drawdown from the 52 week high and they still rate it HOLD. avg entry 3.40 and im supposed to wait for a trend reversal at 0.43? unreal
The OBV accumulation signal with 2.75 volume ratio is interesting but a death cross above the 200d makes any bullish signal noise. these indicators conflict because RUNE has no clear trend
^ the whole system says 4 bull 4 bear. thats literally a coin flip. why would anyone deploy 10k on a coin flip signal
HOLD recommendation on RUNE with a trend-following system makes sense in a chop zone. The 50d/200d MA crossover with RSI filter is textbook but the real question is liquidity depth on THORChain during the next BTC volatility event. Backtests look clean until they dont
