10 bull factors vs 1 bear and still -64.9% off the high. trend following in a nutshell, you buy strength and pray 0.24 breaks
same skepticism but ADX 35.9 with OBV rising is about as clean as these setups get. resistance at 0.24 is the real test tho
hard agree on 0.24. last two times xlm tagged that zone it dumped roughly 20% within days. targets mean nothing until it clears
held xlm since the 0.30 breakdown, dont trust a stage 2 call until we reclaim it. rsi 61.8 leaves room but im not adding before a 0.19 retest
0.19 retest crew checking in. 0.24 rejected and dumped roughly 20 percent twice already, waiting is the cheap trade
10 bull factors vs 1 bear and the single bearish item is just ‘far below high’ lmao. 64.9% down from 0.63 is either a discount or a warning label
the ADX 35.9 reading is the part that matters imo. XLM trends like this usually run way longer than anyone expects, remember 2021
RSI already at 61.8 and entry flagged at 0.20. Chasing 0.22 after the golden cross means paying the +12% convenience fee. I’ll wait for the pullback to the 50d.
adx 35.9 with rising OBV is about as clean as these setups get, fair. paying 0.22 after the golden cross printed at 0.20 is still the convenience fee
50d pullback crew gets left behind if adx keeps climbing past 40. xlm does not do polite retests in strong trends, 2021 never gave one
