everyone ignores that the 200d sits at 0.84 and price kissed it from below twice already. third attempt usually tells you which way the chop resolves
third kiss of the 200d at 0.84 usually resolves with a break, but fil needs actual storage demand printing. its just a line until then
third kiss from below is the one. if 0.84 rejects again the stop hunters under 0.61 get their turn
-90.8% from the 8.38 high and the call is HOLD with low conviction? just say nobody knows lol
low conviction hold is literally the honest answer at 0.77 with RSI at 48. demanding certainty on a -90 percent asset is how you get rekt twice
they literally publish a conviction level with every call. low conviction hold at 0.77 with RSI dead center at 48 is more honesty than most paid newsletters give you
RSI at 48.4 and ADX 23.7 is textbook chop. Sitting at 0.77 between 0.61 support and 1.03 resistance, this goes nowhere until one of those breaks
chop is the base case until 0.61 or 1.03 breaks, agree. but filecoin storage clients actually pay in fil so real usage gives the 1.03 side better odds than pure TA suggests
^ same, bought the 0.95 bounce last week and the system sold me out at 0.82. stop hunting below 0.61 or nothing
adx 23.7 is generous, it has been drifting lower for weeks. id park on tranche one until the 0.61 or 1.03 coin flip actually starts
the 0.61 vs 1.03 coin flip crowd keeps ignoring that storage deals on Filecoin actually grew while price bled. chart says chop, usage says the floor is real
storage deals growing while price bled 90 percent is the only bull case i respect here. pity every storage fee gets paid in fil, constant sell pressure
storage fees paid in fil and retrieval payments routed through the same token, the sell pressure compounds twice. only thing dumber is mining hardware priced in btc
chartmonk_ on adx drifting lower for weeks, exactly. parking it on tranche one at 0.77 and pretending to have patience is the whole strategy lol
adx that low means no trend to trade, so the tranche plan just dollar costs the chop. boring is the correct answer at 0.77
textbook chop is right, but rsi 48 with price sitting on the 50d leans slightly constructive. i would only deploy tranche one here and keep dry powder for a 0.61 retest
tranche one at 0.77 with dry powder for 0.61 is the only sane structure. anything more aggressive on a -90 percent asset is gambling with extra steps
bokmaal_ on gambling with extra steps is the whole file on FIL. -90.8 pct from 8.38 and RSI 48, tranche one only is the only defensible posture
Price above the 50d at 0.74 but below the 200d at 0.84. That whole bear factor list makes HOLD feel generous tbh
HOLD on something down 90.8% from 8.38 takes nerves. honestly at 0.77 the downside has to be mostly priced in, storage demand is real even if token economics are rough
Curious how the 10k deployment plan splits tranches for a Stage 3 asset. DCA into a -90% drawdown feels fine until it goes -95%
@Malin E. same worry, held FIL since 2021 and every bounce got sold. but 0.77 vs a 8.38 high, even a dead cat back to 2 is a 2.5x
Malin E. asked the tranche question, the plan splits 10k into staged buys with the first around 0.77. your -95 fear is why tranches two and three wait for 0.61
storage demand is real but clients paying fees in fil caps the upside forever. hold is fine, expecting 2 dollars is cope
filecoin storage clients pay in fil so real usage creates constant sell pressure. holding at 0.77 is fighting the tokenomics, not the chart
0.61 or 1.03, everything between is noise. been chopped to death on FIL since 2021, at least this analysis admits theres no edge
