buying something 84% off the high because 9 of 11 factors flipped green, classic degen logic. ADX 40.5 is spicy tho, trend is actually real
2.49 against a 15.56 high means the market already voted once. OBV accumulation with vol ratio 1.51 is the only thing making me look twice
thats the whole point of factor models tho, they buy weakness while its still falling. whether 2.34 holds as the range floor is the actual question, the rest is noise
icp down 84% from 15.56 and the engine calls BUY at 2.49. respect the conviction lol
it caught +4.3% flipping between 2.34 and 2.44 last week. the system trades the range, its not a hodl call
84% off the high is basically every l1 from that cohort, not unique to icp. the OBV accumulation is what separates this from a dead bounce
The death cross bear flag while everything else screams uptrend is exactly why I would size the 15k deployment small. RSI 59.2 leaves room to run though.
the icp death cross stopped mattering months ago, this thing ranges. RSI 59 with ADX at 40 is the actual tell in the data
icp pumps 20% every few months on some node news and everyone forgets the drawdown chart. 2.49 is fine if you actually take profits
