88% drawdown from the 52w high and they still labeled it AVOID not BUY. respect the honesty, most crypto sites would spin this into some accumulation narrative
bought at 0.41 a year ago thinking it was a dip. its been straight down ever since. -60% on my bag and the RSI is somehow still neutral at 48
^ 48 RSI while sitting 88% below ATH is actually wild. means theres no oversold bounce coming, just slow bleed
