algo up 0.3% while BTC +16.9% and SOL +25.5%, that comparison table is just violence lol
been holding since the 2021 top, this piece reads like my portfolio diary. -85.8% drawdown and still no bottom signal
same boat since the 2021 top, basis near 0.35. at this point the tax loss is worth more to me than the bag itself
30k lump sum down to 10,492 in a year. even the 12-buy DCA only softened it to -24.8%. timing matters way more than people admit
death cross, below the 50d and 200d, RSI 42. chart says get out and 0.08 is the last floor
the DCA row at -24.8% vs -65% lump sum is the only useful number in these reports honestly. lump sum into alts is just lotto with extra steps
DCA beating lump sum by 40 points here is just survivorship of a downtrend. spreading the knife over 12 buys still cuts, only slower
still, -24.8 vs -65 is the difference between holding on and tapping out. DCA doesnt save the trade, it saves the trader
0.09 when the 52w high is 0.60. algorand holders really out here celebrating partnership announcements while down 85%
to be fair the italy cup pilot moved the chart for like 4 hours once lmao. then the chart remembered
@coinflips to be fair they had the italycups thing and a bunch of CBDC pilots, none of it moved the chart. tech works, token doesnt
To be fair the report has the number too, 0.09 against a 0.60 high with the death cross already printed. The partnership tweets never show up in the drawdown column.
sell call at 0.09 after the damage is done, bold. even the 12 buy DCA table shows -24.8 percent, the 30k lump is down to 10.4k. timing is the whole game
Down 85% from the high and the SELL call comes now? Where was this analysis at 0.40
fair hit, where was the sell call at 0.40. but the tax loss harvest angle is real, 0.09 against a 0.35 cost basis is a fat offset for anyone who booked gains this year
booked my harvest at 0.11, the offset nearly covered an entire eth gain. algo finally useful for something this year
every one of these reports goes SELL after the death cross prints. momentum confirmation sold as analysis, every time
to be fair the report does flag 0.08 as the last floor and the DCA row beats lump sum by 40 points. its a momentum signal with a spreadsheet, read it that way
0.08 as the last floor with the death cross already printed feels optimistic. ALGO bounced off 0.07 twice in 2023, the floor is wherever sellers get bored
sellers got bored at 0.07 in 2023 because there was nothing left to dump. this cycle theres a whole cohort of 0.30 bagholders still praying
0.07 in 2023 held because there was no overhang left. this cycle the 0.35 cohort is still in the bag and every bounce is their exit door
Been DCAing ALGO since 0.35. A 30k portfolio plan that says sell at 0.09 is just pain management at this point lol
0.35 average is brutal but selling at 0.09 just locks it in. tax loss harvest the bag if you need the offset, dont hand the exit to a death cross signal
this is the move tbh. booked gains elsewhere this year, a 0.35 basis ALGO bag sold at 0.09 offsets a chunk of it. holding for sentiment points doesnt pay taxes back
A sell rating at 0.09 when the same report flags 0.08 as the last floor. Whoever follows this exits 11 percent above the level the analysis itself calls the bottom.
