ADX 53.6 and 8 of 9 factors bullish while still 30% off the high, thats the textbook stage 2 entry people always miss
XMR up 57% in 3 months yet still 30% off the 798 high. the one bear flag being far below high is the whole trade here, plenty of room to run
room to run maybe, but -9.9% on the year while SOL did +50 means the market keeps pricing privacy coins as a liability
+2108% backtest looks amazing until you read the -56.7% max drawdown line. most people cant sit through that, theyd capitulate at -40
^ exactly, xmr did a 57% drawdown twice since 2021 and half the holders sold the bottom both times
backtest says +61.8% with a -51% max drawdown. so the plan is lose half my stack first then maybe recover, hard pass at 558
that drawdown is the strategy though, trend following always looks ugly mid-trade. real question is whether 6.41% daily ATR lets people actually hold
558 vs a 798 high and rsi only 59.3, plenty of room before this gets overheated. privacy coins quietly grinding
