8 bull factors but the death cross one is still sitting there lol. algo at 0.10 after -83% tho, thats the kind of entry you only get once a cycle
the death cross is a lagging indicator, price already reclaimed both the 50d and the 200d. the score counts it twice, id ignore it
this. scoring the death cross twice after price reclaimed both averages is just double billing
once a cycle is generous, algo was under 0.12 back in april too. im long anyway, small like the plan says
rsi 64 and adx 27.7 on algorand of all coins. saw this exact setup in 2023 and watched it run without me. in small this time
Adx near 28 on a flat 200d is the part that gives me pause, strong trend readings with no slope usually just mean chop
same setup in 2023 ran without me too. small size is right, the 200d slope is still flat
staging 30k in tranches instead of one shot is the only sane way to enter something down 83 percent from 0.60. rekt if it chops, fine if it runs
0.10 against a 0.60 high with price back over the 50d and 200d, I will take the death cross lag thank you
