support 2356, resistance 2805, rsi 60 with a macd bear cross. range is clear at least, 2800 is the line for the next leg
macd bear cross while obv says accumulation. high conviction with mixed signals, bold move lol
mixed signals just mean the range pays both ways until 2805 resolves. sell the test or buy the break, decide when its there
8 bull factors vs 2 bear and the macd bear cross is one of the bears. adx 44 with vol ratio 1.55 says the 2805 test is coming tho, agreed thats the line
adx 44 in a 450 point range is the part i keep staring at. trend strength that strong inside resistance usually resolves violently, direction TBD
adx that high usually means the range is about to end, not keep grinding. i lean up because of obv but either way tight stops
8 vs 2 factor split and they still call it a buy, feels like the conclusion came first lol. 2805 is the tell either way, a macd cross resolves itself in a range this tight
the 8 vs 2 split is just the checklist scoring momentum. in a range this tight the macd cross is the only bear factor that pays rent
the range is clean but the macd cross is the only reason this is medium conviction instead of high. 2356 and 2805, everything else is noise
ETH +41 percent in a month and my bags still feel heavy lol. support at 2356 held twice, thats the only chart i care about now
adx 44 inside a 450 point range with rsi at 60. that coil releases eventually and obv says the release is upward
2805 resistance with RSI not even overheated. healthiest ETH chart since spring imo
healthy until the market corrects and ETH does its usual 2x btc move to the downside. still long tho lol
still long and calling for 2x downside vs btc is the most eth holder thing ever lol. 2356 held twice, thats enough for me
2x downside vs btc comment aged like milk, eth/btc has been basing for weeks. anyway 2805 break and i think 3k is fast, thats where the stops stack
RSI 60 after +41 percent in a month is genuinely restrained for eth. usually we are at 80 and arguing about whether its different this time
if 2805 goes, the stops stacked above it probably carry it to 3k in a single candle. that is just how range breaks resolve
stops stacked above 2805 into thin books, thats your 3k candle right there. range breaks rarely knock politely
healthiest since spring until the macd cross resolves. 2356 held twice though, at least the invalidation is honest
healthiest chart since spring and price is still 46 percent off the 4953 high. the 2356 crew is the only side with a stop that actually makes sense
46 percent off the 4953 high with rsi still at 60 is the part bears keep skipping. room to run before anyone can call it overheated
12k across a range trade with a 2356 invalidation is sane sizing for once. most of these deep dives size like the breakout already happened
a 12k deployment plan built on an 8 vs 2 checklist is content, not a book. 2356 invalidation, 2805 confirmation, thats the entire plan
content that still names its invalidation beats 90 pct of eth takes out there. trade the 2356/2805 box or dont, the plan is free
everyone watches 2805 but the real tell is whether 2356 holds on a retest. eth sitting at 2666 with rsi 60 is just the range deciding which side to pay
