84% drawdown from the 0.19 high and the verdict is still HOLD? rsi at 61 doesn’t fix a chart that’s down 34% on the year lol
the backtest literally printed -35% with a 47% win rate. at that point you’re just donating the 12k to the exchange in installments
47 percent win rate with a -35 backtest and the verdict is HOLD because conviction is low. the honesty here is almost refreshing tbh
printing the -35 backtest with a 47% win rate at all is why i keep reading this series. most newsletters would have buried that table six paragraphs deep
the 47 percent win rate honesty is the whole selling point of this series tbh. beats the 12k is safe crowd. holding my 0.05 average and praying blockdag throughput eventually matters
0.05 club here too. ghostdag ships, token bleeds, thats been the whole kas story since the 0.12 breakdown. at least this writeup printed the -35 backtest
stage 3 topping + price below the 200d and people in here will still tell you 0.03 is the bottom. ngmi
200d on a coin sitting 84% below its high is just nostalgia with a moving average. KAS has been under that line for ages, you’re not timing anything with it
down 84% from the 0.19 high and somehow RSI 61 counts as healthy. the indicator soup is doing a lot of heavy lifting here
@kasp_maxi_ OBV accumulation while price is -84% down means someone is quietly loading tho. block dag still ships
obv rising while price bleeds can also just be bag churn. show me the exchange outflows before calling 0.03 accumulation
fair point on obv, but flat netflows with rising obv usually reads as wallets consolidating. both stories survive the data tbh
consolidation at 0.03 with flat netflows cuts both ways. wallets holding means no sellers and no new bids, the 12k buys time
quietly loading at -84% is hopium with a chart. kas exchange netflows have been flat for weeks
kinda respect that the DCA table is honest though. 12 buys got you -20.8% vs -34.2% lump sum. the data isn’t hiding how rough KAS has been
agree, the -20.8% vs -34.2% table is the only honest part of this whole writeup. DCA on a downtrend just picks how fast you lose
-20.8 percent spread over 12 buys is still a loss, just with extra steps. credit for printing the slow bleed honestly tho
the -20.8 vs -34.2 table is the only part that survives contact with reality. DCA on a bleeding chart is damage control, nothing more
HOLD on a Stage 3 topping call with low conviction. so basically nobody knows anything, thanks for the 1200 word maybe
blockdag shippers keep promising 10 blocks a second and the chart keeps answering 0.03. love the tech, hated my entry at 0.11
0.11 entry gang checking in, bought the dag hype right alongside you. at 0.03 the only question left is whether the 12k buys utility or a memorial plaque
0.11 here as well. at this point the 12k plan is less about kas and more about not selling the bottom out of pure spite
spite gang, 0.09 average. the honest DCA table is the only reason i still read these writeups
0.11 entry out of pure spite is the most honest thesis in this whole thread lol. ghostdag keeps shipping and kas keeps bleeding, a stage 3 topping call after -84 percent feels kinda late
a topping call after -84 percent is the barn door closing a year late. by the time the pattern prints on a chart this bled the exit was last christmas
holding 0.11 out of pure spite is the realest position statement in crypto. the ghostdag tech keeps shipping while the token bleeds, whole kas paradox in one line
The 200d nostalgia line is brutal and correct. KAS has lived under that line since the 0.12 breakdown, no RSI print changes that.
the 200d on an 84% drawdown is a monument to where price used to live. 0.03 or nothing
