dot at 0.85 from an 11.60 high and the verdict is HOLD? down 92.7% and the model still says topping, brutal
thats how trend following works tho. it will always be late at the turn, the 50/200 crossover needs price to move first
trend models dont know its 92% off the high, they only see the 50 under the 200. its a ruler, not a valuation tool
Stage 3 topping on a coin that is already 92.7% off its 11.60 high? dot keeps finding new ways to pain max
a topping read at 0.85 made me laugh. that has been the whole dot story since the 2021 unwind honestly
5 bull vs 4 bear factors is a coin flip. at least the low conviction label is honest, most analysts would have spun it into a buy
agreed, RSI 51.6 tells you nothing either. waiting for the 50d slope to prove itself before touching my 10k
the honesty is the product tbh. most DOT content is either maxis coping or grave dancers, low conviction HOLD is the correct energy
remember when dot was a top 5 coin and everyone had parachain auction bags. 0.85 hurts to look at
0.85 with 11.60 as the all time reference point. parachain auction nostalgia costs real money, HOLD here really means stop poking the wound
