an ICP buy call at 84% down from the 15.56 high. been holding since the airdrop days, nice of the trend followers to finally join us victims lol
victims club checking in. bought at 6, riding to 2.49 or 25, whichever shows up first
same boat, bought the 2022 top. at 2.49 the copium is basically a lifestyle at this point lol
Victims club membership renewed at 6 as well. If the 2.06 support holds through the death cross noise I might actually break even before 2030
bought at 6, bought more at 3, basically a charity at this point. 2.06 holding gives me a little hope
victims club at 6, i bought at 11 during the domain name hype lol. 2.06 holding is the only good news in months
bought at 11 too during the domain name hype. we ride together lol
victims club since the airdrop here too. first writeup in months where the support math at 2.06 actually matches what the chart did
84% off the high and the system still says BUY lmao. trend following is wild. support at 2.06 holding is the only thing keeping me in this
the low was 1.98 so the signal fired basically off the bottom. that is the whole point of trend following, you never catch the exact low, you catch the turn
catching the turn is fine, the issue is a 9 factor buy with a death cross still live. trend following works until that lagging input finally matters
high conviction BUY with a death cross still sitting in the bear factors. im sure the 9 bull factors are real but that line item bugs me
The death cross lags badly in stage 2 uptrends though, and ADX at 40.5 confirms the trend is real. I would still size small at these levels.
down 84% from 15.56 and people call it an uptrend. ETH did +48.5% in the same window, ICP did +16.2%. hard pass
the ETH comparison stings but it also misses that ICP bottomed at 1.98 and never lost the 2.06 support since. relative loser, absolute bottom in imo
comparing ICP to ETH is the wrong frame tho, the signal only cares about ICPs own trend off the 1.98 low
ETH outperforming doesnt change the signal, the system rides the trend its given. 2.06 is the only line that matters
the ETH +48.5 vs ICP +16.2 comparison is the only honest line in this whole thread. trend following a laggard needs more than ADX 40.5 to make sense
honest comparison indeed. but ICP +16.2 percent off a 1.98 low with 9 bull factors is a trend signal, nobody promised it beats ETH
a trend system doesnt need ICP to beat ETH, it needs 2.06 to hold. so far it has, everything else is cope in both directions
support at 2.06 holding for weeks while the whole market grinds up. if that breaks the buy call is dead, until then im just watching the 1.98 low like everyone else
9 bull factors for ICP and the only bear one is the death cross, which lags anyway per the backtest section. still sizing like it can go back to 1.98
death crosses fired in may on a bunch of alts that then ripped anyway. lagging inputs in a stage 2 trend are just noise
support at 2.06 with the low at 1.98, that is a tight floor for a 9 factor buy call. small size and let it prove the 2.80 zone first
Small size is right. 2.06 with the low at 1.98 is a tight floor, a close below and I am out without drama.
