-68.5% off the 399 high and the system still says BUY, that takes guts lol. but golden cross + ADX 37 is real, not hopium
adx 37 on something still 68% off the high is the part everyone sleeps on. trend strength comes back long before price revisits 399
golden cross and ADX 37 after a 68% beatdown is exactly how the last AAVE leg started in 2023. not saying 399 again but the system caught the turn before the crowd
Deploying 30k into something still 68% underwater from its high. I would wait for the retest of the 50d at 109.67 before tranche two.
waiting for the 109.67 retest is how people got skipped last cycle too. the tranche plan exists precisely because clean entries never show up on schedule
tranche 1 at 92 already ran, waiting for 109.67 is just hoping for a gift. if adx holds you pay up or you miss
adx can hold all it wants, if btc rolls over the 109.67 retest shows up on its own. tranche both ways and stop arguing about entries
@Ingrid Falk the whole point of the 3 tranche plan is you dont have to nail the entry. first backtest trade already caught the 92 to 109 move
RSI 54.6 with price above both MAs is the boring kind of setup that actually works. in before someone yells about the MACD cross
6 bull factors vs 2 bear and conviction still only HIGH because stage 2 just printed. got a first slice at 96, the tranche plan is doing its job
