XLM down 74% from highs and they call it MEDIUM conviction SELL. feels generous tbh, this thing has zero momentum
XLM at $0.16 with RSI 34 and ADX 14. ADX that low means nobody cares enough to even sell properly
golden cross signal but price still below both MAs? thats a fakeout waiting to trap people, classic
^ happened to me on XLM back in march, bought the cross and it immediately reversed. never again
been saying this since $0.23. Stellar partnerships never translate to price action, ever
IBM deal, MoneyGram, USC. all those announcements and still -30% in a year
