35k portfolio on XLM at these levels would be brutal. ADX at 14 means theres literally no trend to follow
same XLM analysis but with a bigger portfolio number doesn’t make it less of a loss
support at $0.16 and resistance at $0.20. a 25% move to resistance on an asset with 3.7% daily volatility? unlikely anytime soon
fair point, the ADX at 14 confirms there’s literally no trend strength to push it there
two XLM articles dropped same minute, both SELL. wonder what Oliver thinks about publishing back to back bearish calls on the same coin
