ATR of 507% per day at one cent. this is not a chart anymore, its a lottery scratcher
scratcher lmao. and then the table shows ETH +46.8% over the same year. brutal side by side
held MATIC since the $2 days and watched it become POL at $0.01. -97% from the high and the system still calls it Stage 4 downtrend. pain
The DCA table is the brutal part. -67.5% for spreading out four buys, worse than lump sum at -59.3%. averaging down just diluted the loss
That DCA table is the part nobody talks about. Spreading four buys into the same downtrend and finishing 8 points worse than lump sum. Averaging only works with a bottom in sight.
the migration pitch was unified liquidity and staking rewards, what we got was a one cent token and a Stage 4 label. held through all of it like an idiot
funny how ADX 95.1 gets listed as a bull factor on a SELL call with 8 bear factors. trend strength cuts both ways i guess
ADX measures trend strength, not direction. On a -97% chart that strength is the downtrend itself. The article got this right.
Held MATIC since 2021 and watched the POL migration do absolutely nothing for the chart. Resistance at 0.08 feels generous honestly.
a 35k deployment plan written for a token at one cent with ATR of 507%. if even one person is sizing positions off this, SELL is the kindest thing they could have printed
