BUY signal with a death cross AND OBV distribution on the same chart? bold move calling that high conviction with 5 bull vs 4 bear
high conviction is a stretch, the tranche sizing is the tell. system knows the signal is thin, 5v4 is basically a coin flip with trend bias
Coin flip with positive expectancy is still a system. The tranches exist precisely because 5v4 is thin. You size down instead of sitting out.
XRP with a death cross AND OBV distribution at 0.74 and the signal is still BUY? bold strategy
the system buys the 200d reclaim and ignores the death cross, trend first everything else second. whether 0.99 holds decides it
Price above the 200d is why. The system cares about trend, not the cross. ATR 5% though, size small
the system asks one question, is price above the 200d. the death cross is narrative until 0.99 breaks
support at 0.99 is the only thing that matters here imo. hold that and the 1.38 prints, lose it and the 0.49 low starts looking like a target
^ exactly, distribution into strength is the classic trap. seen this movie before with xrp
with OBV distribution on the chart 0.49 feels more likely than a 1.38 reprint. sized accordingly
obv distribution has called seven of the last zero xrp tops since 0.74 while price walked to 1.38. the overlay loses again
obv distribution missing every top while price walked 0.49 to 1.38 is objectively funny. indicators are astrology with extra steps
astrology that kept you out of a 180 percent walk. sometimes the wrong indicator prints the right result
wanjala nailed it above. 0.99 is the line, everything else is noise. engine flagging 5 bull signals means nothing if that shelf goes
from 0.49 to 1.38 off the low. even 62% down from 3.65, thats a real recovery
Recovery sure, but 3m +24.9% while 1y still -31.7%. im long above the 1.21 fifty day, just not married to it
The system buys recoveries. The 1.21 fifty-day average is the line that matters this month.
62 percent off the high and people still trust the 200d like its scripture. 2021 called
the 200d caught the 0.49 to 1.38 walk though, thats the whole point of the system. skipping it because the high was 3.65 is vibes trading
OBV distribution crowd has called the top since 0.74 and price walked from 0.49 to 1.38 anyway. the tape does not care about volume overlays
5 bull vs 4 bear with a death cross on the chart is the system shrugging. above the 200d it buys, thats the whole religion. 0.99 is your stop
0.99 stop with atr around 5 percent means one bad candle does the job. position sizing is doing the heavy lifting, not the signal
one bad candle from xrp is a tuesday. sizing for a 40 percent stop on a 1.38 entry changes the math completely
ATR at 5 percent is doing a lot of work in this call. half position until 1.38 reclaims, then the death cross crowd can argue with the tape instead
buy at 1.38 with the 52w high at 3.65 printed right above it. someone at the desk has conviction i guess
15k on a coin 62 percent off highs with a death cross still printed on the chart. the tranche schedule is the only adult in the room
