header says Stage 3 Topping, DO NOT DEPLOY, and then the plan hands you targets at 4530 and 4629 anyway. pick a lane lol
same energy as every auto generated plan. 36 backtest trades at 42% win rate, thats the real tell here
42% win rate over 36 backtest trades is a coin flip with extra steps. cant believe anyone deploys 15k off that
fair, but even your version needs the reclaim at 4449 to fail first. im not paying for stage 3 confusion when holding spot gold does the job with none of the basis risk
42% win rate on 36 trades is statistically nothing, error bars are huge at that sample size. the 200d at 4449 rejecting is the cleaner short thesis
36 trades is a vibe not a sample. you need hundreds before a 42 percent win rate means anything statistically
the 200d at 4449 is carrying this whole SELL thesis honestly. if PAXG reclaims it the premium compression angle Marisol raised stops mattering too
if it reclaims 4449 the premium to NAV becomes the next problem though. spot bar holders and fund shareholders are not the same trade
to be fair the framework usually says targets are void once stage flips, but yeah printing both a SELL header and 4530/4629 targets in the same piece is confusing
lmao the 4530 and 4629 targets are invalidation levels not entries, they bolded DO NOT DEPLOY one line above the plan
yes but thats a framework failure then. if stage 3 voids the targets why print 4530 and 4629 at all, retail skims headers and skips the stage logic
Price under both the 50d at 4384 and the 200d at 4449 with RSI at 49.2 is hardly a gold bull story. Hold spot gold and skip the chart games.
physical backing checks out on paper but good luck redeeming bars in a stress event. the arbitrage desk is the only party exiting at NAV
Down 22.4% from the 5622 high while spot gold barely corrected. PAXG is supposed to track gold 1:1, the premium compression is the actual story here
RSI 49.2 mid-range tells you nothing while price sits under both moving averages. the only actionable line here is 4449, everything else is decoration
