0.09 down from a 0.60 high and the verdict is HOLD? aisha has more conviction than me lol
algorand has been finding a bottom since 2022 my guy. -84.7% drawdown is not a dip anymore
fair but staged plans exist for exactly that scenario. if ALGO keeps bleeding you still have most of the 10k in dry powder near 0.07. the lump sum crowd at -84.7% is the one truly suffering
cope_shack the backtest line kinda answers you, -8.2% staged vs -51.8% buy and hold. the framework exists for exactly the bleed youre describing
tbh cope_shack has a point, 84% down is brutal. but ALGO still settles in under 3s with zero forks, that tech hasnt gone anywhere
A staged deployment plan on a coin this beaten down makes more sense than lumping in. If the 10k is split across entries you survive being wrong once.
priyanka fair point but what does Stage 3 even mean here? the framework gets name dropped and never explained
43% win rate across 60 trades still nets out positive, people fixate on the win rate and miss the exits. stage 3 is just the deepest tranche near support
looked at the tier table, stage 3 is the back half of the stack near support. the average one more time tranche if this keeps dumping
52W band between 0.09 and 1.00 is wild. HOLD with a staged 10k deployment is basically accumulation with extra steps. watching whether the next tranche fills near 0.08 before adding size
