price 0.01 against a 52w high of 0.34 is a -97% drawdown and the article STILL gets asked ‘is it a buy’ in my group chat
held MATIC since 2021, watched the POL migration, honestly the 2 bull vs 8 bear factor count says everything. stage 4 downtrends dont get voted away
@Dagrun sorry about your bags but respect for still reading the analysis instead of rage quitting lol
8 bear factors with ADX at 95 just means the downtrend is exceptionally clean, not that the call is late. the system does not care about anyone entry price
AVOID is generous. a trend following system giving HIGH conviction on a token down 97% from highs is just math doing its job
price at 0.01 from a 0.34 high and the call is SELL? lmao what is there left to sell, my bags are already ashes
the 10k deployment plan on a dead chart is the funniest part of this whole series tbh
a SELL rating on something down 97.3 percent is incredible timing. where was this analysis at 0.30
these systems are trend followers by design, they sell downtrends and buy uptrends. asking a momentum model to have called 0.30 is missing the entire point of the system
replying to Rahul: the system is trend following, it sells downtrends. the 8 bear vs 2 bull factor split was readable on any chart since the migration, nobody needed a rating at 0.30
