90% drawdown from the 4.93 high and they still rate it AVOID. like yeah no kidding lol
90% drawdown and still stage 4 downtrend, brutal. held AKT since 2021 and its been a slow bleed
the backtest going +7.4% while buy and hold did -75.5% is actually impressive. trend following works even on trash coins if you respect stops
^ 44% win rate though. you are taking 27 trades to make 7%. thats a lot of chopping for basically treasury yields
gpu_diet_ 44pct win rate for 7.4pct net is rough but thats trend following on low liquidity. you eat small losses waiting for the big trend to materialize. problem with AKT is the trend never materialized because there was no reversal signal
sharpe_rat_ 44pct win rate with 7.4pct net means the wins are 3x the losses. trend following is painful but the math works if you survive the drawdowns
backtest doing +7.4% while buy and hold did -75.5% is the only good thing about this analysis. trend following works even on dying tokens
the fundamentals of Akash are actually decent though, decentralized compute is a real use case. problem is tokenomics not the tech
adk 25.9 and still in strong bear trend, anyone catching this knife is gonna get cut. system says avoid, trust the system
Joon P. trust the system is right. ADX above 25 with RSI under 30 means the downtrend has more room. catching falling knives because fundamentals look okay is how people lose 50pct more. the system is designed to keep you out until proof of reversal
cloud_nomad_ the tech is real but tokenomics dont matter when the entire DePIN sector is in bear. AKT could have the best product in crypto and still bleed 50% more
stake_wars_ fundamentals dont matter in a sector-wide bear. AKT could have the best tech in crypto and still bleed another 50%
every depin token is the same trade. rent gpus, pay in dollars, token captures nothing. AKT at 0.48 against a 4.93 high is the chart of that broken loop
paying gpu rent in dollars while the token only exists for staking and governance is the whole depin joke. akash could mandate akt payments tomorrow and half the renters would bolt to traditional cloud
cloud_nomad_ Akash fundamentals are real but tokenomics dont capture value. compute demand can 10x and AKT token barely moves because the burn and inflation mechanics cancel out. good protocol bad investment is the sad story of web3 infrastructure
Eivind Ross good protocol bad investment is the Akash thesis since 2022. compute demand tripled and token went sideways for two years
burn vs inflation cancellation is the whole story. akash gpu rental revenue kept climbing and the token still bled. value accrual is the missing chapter
RSI at 29 and ADX 25.9 says the trend is strong bear. catching this knife because it looks cheap is how people lose another 50%
AKT at 0.48 down 90pct from 4.93. good protocol terrible investment is the Akash story since 2022. compute demand tripled and token went nowhere
90 percent drawdown from 4.93 and still in stage 4 downtrend. the system says avoid and honestly the fundamentals dont matter when the chart looks like this. trend is your friend until the trend is down
Anya Sokolova the 44 percent win rate on 27 trades tells you everything. you are getting chopped to pieces trying to catch a bounce that isnt coming. depin narrative is dead for now
44pct win rate with 7.4pct net means the wins are 3x the losses. trend following is painful but the math actually works if you dont blow up first
backtest +7.4% vs -75.5% buy and hold tells the whole AKT story. you dont need 27 trades of signals at 0.48, you needed an exit plan back at 3 dollars
27 trades to make 7.4 percent sounds thin until you see the alternative was minus 75. the lesson is position sizing on illiquid small caps, not signal quality
0.48 against a 52 week high of 4.93 while gpu shortages make headlines. market verdict: a charity that rents out hardware. until akt captures actual revenue the chart stays broken
