ADX 68.2 on XMR is wild. that trend is genuinely strong, not just chop pretending
adx that hot cuts both ways tho, usually cools off before continuation. still long from 510 so not complaining
what cools an adx of 68 is usually a sideways grind, not a dump. long from 510 while it works off the heat is the right seat
510 feels like wishful thinking now, obv climbing says dips get bought above that. Scaled in around 538 and sleeping fine.
538 gang, welcome. as long as dex premiums stay fat the off exchange bid absorbs whatever the delisting crowd sells
in at 541 myself. the delist headlines keep doing the accumulations job for it, dex premium is basically a sentiment indicator now
same seat, long from 505. the 31.8 percent max drawdown tag is what lets you actually hold through the adx cooldown without panic selling the grind
adx 68 after the run off 480 is expected tho, fresh trends print hot readings. question is whether it holds above 55 through the cooldown
adx this hot after the 480 breakout is expected, agreed. the real tell is obv holding thru the 798 rejection, thats what keeps the 544 adds alive
Bought at 480 in the accumulation phase and honestly the OBV read was what convinced me then too. Still holding, 544 feels cheap vs that 798 high.
@Renata same OBV logic got me in. only thing bothering me is the 31.8% drawdown tag, most alcos would kill for that being the bear case
31.8% drawdown tag is a rounding error for xmr holders, we sat through way worse in 2022. the 12k staggered deployment matters more than the label anyway
31.8 percent as the max drawdown tag through a full cycle is genuinely tidy for xmr. most alts would trade that label for the chart any day
480 gang checking in, weird being the lucky ones for once. 544 as an easy add only works while the OBV keeps climbing tho
Staggering buys around 544 with the 798 high as reference makes sense to me. Privacy premium tends to come back the second regulators start making noise again.
544 as the anchor with 798 as the ceiling is the right frame. xmr premium comes back every time some exchange gets subpoenaed, privacy compounds
adx 68 with the 798 high still standing and they still cap it a BUY at 544. staggered 12k is the correct amount of cowardice here lol
calling staggered entries cowardly while adx 68 cools is wild. spreading the 12k is the only sane way to add with the 798 rejection still fresh in memory
Staggering 12k around 544 with the 798 high as reference is just sensible. Privacy premium returns the second a regulator says the word monero in a hearing
the hearing premium is real but exchanges delisted xmr over privacy warnings before and price barely flinched. the premium is quieter than people think
delistings barely dented it because demand moved to dex and atomic swaps. the premium did not disappear, it went off exchange
premium went off exchange exactly like you said. dex quotes run hot every single time a delist headline drops, no exceptions this year
Dex quotes running hot on every delist drop is such a repeatable pattern you would think arbs would flatten it by now. They never quite do.
544 adds work until a privacy headline goes the wrong way, then that 31.8 percent drawdown tag gets tested for real. still long tho
544 against a 798 high with OBV still climbing, one of the few analysis pieces where the buy banner actually matches the chart
staggered adds from 544 with the 798 rejection still fresh is the plan id run too. only real risk is a privacy scare headline nuking sentiment overnight
798 rejection then weeks of obv climb at 544, the staggered entries in the plan basically front-run the retest. sensible writeup
