86.4% drawdown from the 52w high. ALGO went from 0.60 to 0.08. this is not a dip this is a slow death
RSI at 40.7 and MACD just turned bullish. ive been holding since 0.30 and at this point selling makes zero sense. the tech still works even if the price doesnt
AlgorandMaxi RSI at 40.7 with MACD barely turning is not a bullish signal its a flatline. held from 0.30 to 0.08 and youre still holding. thats not conviction
AlgorandMaxi selling at a 86 percent loss after holding from 0.30 is brutal. RSI at 40.7 with ADX at 11 is literally no momentum in any direction. the 15K plan reads like cope
holding from 0.30 to 0.08 with ADX at 11 and calling it conviction is coping with extra steps. at least the state proofs still work i guess
ghost_chain_42 calling it a slow death is generous. ALGO had MIT pedigree, Silvio Micali, and a head start on most L1s. went from top 20 to irrelevant in 3 years. the tech was real the adoption wasnt
silent_exit_ the MIT pedigree argument died years ago. ETH had Vitalin and academic backing but also actual users. ALGO had the papers but never the devs building stuff people wanted
the MIT papers mattered to the MIT people. crypto picks chains with memes and incentives and algo had neither after 2021
ghost_chain_42 calling it a slow death was generous honestly. ALGO had MIT pedigree and Silvio Micali and still couldnt get developers to build on it. academic credentials dont ship products
ADX at 11.0 is basically no trend at all. the bears already won and now its just drifting sideways with no conviction either direction
15K deployment plan on an 86 percent drawdown asset with ADX at 11 and Stage 4 downtrend. the analysis is brutal but ALGO at 0.08 is either a falling knife or the buy of the cycle
Freyr O. calling 0.08 the buy of the cycle for a token that peaked at 0.60 with ADX at 11 is optimistic. stage 4 downtrend with zero reversal signal means bottom is a guess not a thesis
86 percent drawdown from the 52w high and the call is still SELL. tells you everything about how far ALGO has fallen. used to be a top 20 coin
algo_baggage_ 86 percent drawdown and they somehow keep shipping. idk if thats resilience or copium at this point. the 15k deployment plan seems aggressive for a stage 4 tho
ALGO at $0.08 with 86 percent drawdown and 7 bearish factors vs 1 bullish is brutal but honest analysis. Death cross with RSI at 40.7 and ADX of 11 means no trend strength in either direction. Stage 4 downtrend with no reversal signal is a avoid not a buy the dip
Henrik Vad 7 bearish vs 1 bullish factor and the bullish one is just MACD turning. at 0.08 with no reversal signal this is a hold or exit not a buy. the 52w high at 0.60 isnt coming back anytime soon
Stage 4 downtrend at 0.08 with a 0.60 high. anyone still holding ALGO from 2021 is down bad. the silence foundation twitter is deafening too
86.4 percent drawdown and still rated sell. at some point the downside is priced in and the risk is actually being early on a dead cat bounce
97.9 percent drawdown listed in the comments and the deployment plan is still 15000. thats not conviction thats denial. the analysis clearly says SELL
Soren B. 97.9 percent drawdown and still deploying 15K is peak cope. the SELL rating is right there in bold and people are still buying
15000 deployment plan for a token down 86 percent is ambitious. most projects at this stage just slowly stop updating github and fade away
algorand never stopped shipping, thats the sad part. state proofs, silent upgrades, nobody cares because there are no users to ship for
state proofs and silent upgrades and the chart still bleeds. shipping without users is just open source with extra steps
open source with extra steps is harsh but the state proofs do work. the problem was never the tech, it was zero reason for a dev to pick algo over solana in 2021 and nothing changed since
every algo analysis since 2021 has been a eulogy with a buy zone attached. at 0.08 the eulogy is finally winning
