93% drawdown and people still holding DOT bags hoping for a miracle. 0 bull factors out of 8 says everything
^ 6 dollars feels generous now lol. i got out at 3 and thought i was eating a huge loss. looks like a genius move in hindsight
-93.4% from the high and they still rated it AVOID. brutal but honest
bought DOT at 4.20 in october thinking that was the dip. this article is just rubbing salt in the wound lol
^ the october buy at 4.20 into the 2.96 sell is painful. that -29.5% trade alone probably wrecked the whole strategy
43% win rate with 37 trades in 2 years is actually decent for a trend following system on a coin that went -84%. most people just held and lost way more
bought DOT at around 6 bucks in 2024. this analysis hurts to read but its not wrong, the chart is brutal
RSI at 34.6 is barely oversold tbh. seen DOT sit in the 20s for weeks during real capitulation. this could go lower
