-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
rune_bagholder_88 feel you on the 3.40 entry but HOLD at 0.43 with stage 3 distribution is actually responsible. the system is saying wait for confirmation, dont catch falling knives with a 10k bag
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
node_void_42 coin flip signal with a 10k allocation means position size should be 500 max not 10k. 4 bull 4 bear with no conviction means the system itself is telling you to stay small
Florian W. 500 position on a 10k allocation is basically just saying dont bother. the system is telling you RUNE has no edge and the position size confirms it
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
RUNE at 0.43 from a 7.52 high. the OBV accumulation with 2.75 volume is the only thing keeping this from being a full bear case. someone is quietly accumulating at these levels
thor_sanity_ OBV accumulation means nothing without price confirmation. volume can flow in for weeks while price bleeds sideways. seen it on a dozen dead altcoins
94pct drawdown from 7.52 high and the call is HOLD not accumulate. trend following systems have nothing useful to say in a chop zone and the position size confirms it
kasper_loss_ 4 bull 4 bear factors is literally a coin flip. the system itself is saying dont deploy capital and people are mad about it
4 bull 4 bear factors being a coin flip is exactly right. the model is telling you to sit on your hands and people interpret that as advice
the 10k deployment plan makes sense mathematically but RUNE at 0.43 with 94% drawdown means your 10k becomes 600 bucks if another leg down hits. that risk is not priced into the model
94 percent drawdown from the high and HOLD is the call. the trend following system is working as designed, it just has nothing useful to say in a chop zone
Rhea M. the OBV accumulation at 2.75x volume ratio is the only signal worth watching here. someone is quietly loading bags at 0.43 while everyone else calls it dead
4 bull 4 bear factors is the most honest thing ive seen from a crypto analysis. usually its just BUY NOW with a rocket emoji
94.4% drawdown from the 7.52 high and the system says HOLD. trend following is useless when a coin is in a multi-year chop zone with no volume
RUNE at Stage 3 with ADX in the basement. this is a wait-for-volume setup not a deployment setup. adding capital here is just donating to market makers
chop_kep_rat_ ADX at 14 with volume dead tells you the same thing the 4 bull 4 bear breakdown does. nobody has conviction either way right now
RUNE at 0.43 from a 52w high of 7.57 is a 94% drawdown. holding through that kind of bleeding takes genuine conviction or delusion, hard to tell which
Sun-hee P. THORChain volume dropped 80% from peak but the protocol still processes cross-chain swaps daily. the infra works, tokenomics just got wrecked
