-87.9% off the 11.62 high and its still labeled stage 3 topping? someone walk me through that one lol
stage 3 means distribution after the big top. the 87.9 percent drawdown IS the aftermath, structure not price. read it again slower
topping refers to the structure coming off the 11.62 high, not a fresh call. but 3 bull vs 5 bear factors = no edge, wait is fair
stage numbering is aftermath labeling, the top happened at 11.62 and everything after gets filed under stage 3. confusing the first ten times you see it
stage 3 refers to the structure after the top, its a phase label not a fresh price call. the 87.9 percent drawdown already happened, the label is descriptive
stage 3 is the structure label coming off an 87.9 percent drawdown, not a fresh top call. phase labels describe where you are, not where you are going
The 50d MA sits at 1.40 and price is 1.41, so the trend call could flip within days. HOLD feels right while its pinned between 1.23 support and 1.63 resistance.
resistance at 1.63 lines up almost exactly with the 200d at 1.64. thats the level that decides this, not the RSI at 48.9
the 1.63 resistance sitting on the 200d at 1.64 is the whole trade. first touch usually gets sold, id wait for a second attempt before judging the HOLD
second touch logic is right, first test of a confluence that tight usually wicks. holding 1.23 while waiting costs nothing
the 1.63 resistance stacking on the 200d at 1.64 is the whole trade. weekly close above both and this HOLD ages well for the wrong reasons
Lump sum +5.8% while the 12-buy DCA sits at -23.7% on a 35,000 deployment. Timing luck gets called strategy in hindsight, glad the table shows all of it.
@Milo Pert right, and every DCA variant lost ground. When averaging down loses to a single bad entry, the asset itself is the problem.
lump sum at +5.8 vs dca at -23.7 is mostly december entry luck. one sample year is not a verdict on averaging down as a method
12 buys at -23.7 percent while lump sum sits at +5.8 is brutal but expected. every DCA buy happened inside a downtrend below the 11.62 top
the july buys were the only ones under 2 bucks either. averaging down only works if the asset stops dying and render hasnt proven anything yet
lump sum beating DCA by 30 points in one year is one sample. run the same table over 2021 and 2022 and the 12 buy plan wins both, timing luck cuts both ways
one sample point is right, and the mid year burn changes also mean the DCA window covered a slightly different protocol than the lump sum window did. tables like this compare two assets wearing one ticker
run the 2021 table, DCA wins by less each bull year. one sample but the direction of the argument is fair
HOLD verdict with only 14,263 left from a lump sum a year ago. Conservative framing by Schmidt here, but the numbers argue for tighter stops.
5 bear vs 3 bull factors inside a 1.23 to 1.63 range is a coin resting on its edge. waiting costs nothing, entering costs sleep
Nobody mentioning that the 1.23 low already got swept twice this month. Third test on a chart this weak usually gives.
Third sweep of 1.23 and everyone still arguing about DCA tables above. If that level gives, the HOLD debate ends fast and not in a fun way
HOLD on something that round tripped from 11.62 to 1.41 reads like sunk cost with a chart attached. 14,263 left from 35k deployed, id want an exit plan more than a wait
14k left of 35k and the plan is wait. HOLD is just a slower sell button when the thesis is a burn change nobody can verify
