0.21 against a 1.32 high, minus 84%, death cross, OBV down, and the verdict is still WAIT lol. the system is very generous to ada
generous lol. any other asset down 84% with a death cross gets a SELL stamp and a paragraph of shame
generous is the word. distribution signals plus price below the 200d would be a flat SELL on most other assets, ada just gets a polite WAIT
Distribution signals plus price below the 200 day would keep me on the sidelines. I would want clear momentum confirmation before adding ADA here.
trend following means you dont catch bottoms, you wait for the turn to confirm. WAIT is the honest answer even if it hurts
momentum confirmation at this volume could take months. staying out while ada figures out which side of 0.21 it wants costs nothing
4 bull vs 5 bear factors is the most ada thing ever. perfectly balanced misery
