QNT -9.2% on the year while ETH is up 46% and this still gets a HOLD? i see why conviction is LOW
3 bull factors vs 5 bear and you’re still mad about the HOLD call? the system literally says no clear edge
3 bull vs 5 bear with LOW conviction is the system shrugging. hold is just a punt with a spreadsheet attached
the spreadsheet at least sizes the punt. most qnt holders are riding full size off hopium about enterprise deals that never get announced
hold with low conviction is at least honest. most systems would flip bullish off one green week and call it conviction
qnt -9.2 percent on the year next to eth at +46 and the verdict is still hold. conviction allocation indeed
to be fair the system also stamped LOW conviction on it. its a shrug with a position size attached, not a recommendation
the eth comparison is doing heavy lifting, qnt trades on enterprise contract news. different animal entirely
re: the eth comparison, qnt at -9.2 on the year is exactly why i quit benchmarking it against anything. it moves on overledger contract news or it doesnt move at all
61.6% off the high and somehow still above the 50 day. that drawdown stat is the only line that matters here lol
65.70 against a 171 high and the verdict is HOLD. holding what exactly, hope?
HOLD makes sense if the 30k deployment plan is staged entries. you dont all-in a 60 percent drawdown
RSI at 61 with price under the 200 day is textbook chop. Support at 55 is where I get interested, not at 65
55 support with rsi cooling into the 40s is where i add too. the 65 entry always felt like paying full price for half the setup
61.6 percent off the high but still above the 50 day is a weird spot. that combo usually means dead cat, not recovery
above the 50 day after a 61 percent drawdown is usually base building, dead cats print inside downtrends off fresh lows
QNT is an enterprise licensing story wearing a crypto costume. has been since 2018
overledger partnerships read like press releases until treasury connectivity actually ships. 55 is the add either way, 65 was retail pricing
treasury connectivity wont ship on a schedule that saves the 65 buyers tho. staged at 61 and 55 is the only version of this plan that survives contact with a falling 200d
30k plan splitting entries across 61 and 55 makes sense but enterprise licensing revenue decides qnt long term, not the chart
licensing revenue is the bull case nobody charts. overledger contracts dont show up in rsi but they pay the bills
30k plan staged at 61 and 55 is fine but nobody prices the cash sitting dry if the dump never comes. opportunity cost is a position too
this. half a 30k plan parked at 61 and 55 waiting for a dip while eth grinds higher. dry powder has a carrying cost too
Dry powder regret is real, but QNT below 55 with the 200d overhead is a knife. Waiting costs less than catching it.
and the 200d is sloping down too, its a falling knife with a moving target. staged entries at 61 and 55 at least cap how much of the 30k catches it
opportunity cost is a position too is the realest line in this thread. been parked at 61 since tuesday watching the 50d hold lol
61 percent off the high and the system still calls it topping. buyers at 65 are betting the 50d holds, thats a trade with homework attached
