AAVE 68% off the 399 high, RSI under 33, and the call is WAIT with no edge. safest calls are the least useful ones
disagree. 7.44% daily ATR on a 3k position will chew you up, waiting for a retest of 116.50 before deploying tranche one is reasonable
116.50 retest was my line too but with ATR at 7.44% daily the retest can gap straight through it. half size here, half at support, seems fair
half and half is the right split. the 200d at 107.83 is the only bull line left standing, would keep dry powder for a retest of that before trusting 116.50
safest calls are the only ones worth taking with ADX at 25 and 7 of 10 factors bearish. trying to catch the exact bottom is how -68% becomes -80%
everyone quotes the +69.6% over 6 months but the 1 month is -25%. that is the number that decides whether you are early or trapped
Liene B. nailed it, the -25% monthly is the real story here. everything else is cope around a broken setup
ETH -9% in the same window dragged every defi bluechip with it. aave just runs higher beta, its not a coin specific problem
trapped is when RSI 32.9 keeps bleeding under the 50d at 149.82. one weekly close back above and the 6 month crowd are suddenly geniuses again
