-85.7% off the 0.60 high and the verdict is just WAIT instead of run for the hills. almost refreshing honesty from a signal system
WAIT is the right call though. The backtest shows -13.8% for the strategy versus -55.1% buy and hold. Sitting out chop IS the edge when the win rate is 40%.
the -13.8% strategy vs -55.1% buy and hold gap is doing a lot of work here. losing slower than holders is barely a strategy, its triage
Bought ALGO in 2021 for the Silvio Micali hype and here we are at 0.09. ETH +54.5% and SOL +44% on 3m while ALGO manages +3.6%, that table hurts
at least its back above the 50d at 0.08 with RSI 49.3. first neutral-ish reading on this thing in months, still below the 200d at 0.10 though
7 trades in the log since may and most of them +/- 2%. this thing is pure chop, no wonder ADX is only 24.7 lol
same since 2021 my friend. every ALGO pump gets sold into within 48h, the 0.10 resistance is basically a brick wall at this point
brick wall is right. been watching ALGO since the 0.60 days and every rally dies somewhere between 0.09 and 0.10. no position till that changes
35k deployment plan and the verdict is WAIT lol. saved everyone the trouble, 0.08 price with the 200d sitting at 0.10 is the whole trade right now
