85% off the 0.60 high and still cant reclaim the 200d at 0.10. The +3.4% over 3 months looks fine until you notice SOL did +24.9% in the same window., parent => 0, date => 2026-09-16 08:41:07],

[name => Anneli Vesk, email => [email protected], url => , content => ADX 75 on a stablecoin chart is wild. Someone out there is trading a 0.99 to 1.01 range like its a volatile asset.
The SOL comparison stings. Holding through a death cross because OBV is ticking up feels like hope more than a system. 0.08 support is the level that matters.
hope more than a system is harsh but kinda true. i held through 0.30 telling myself the same things about OBV. dumped at 0.12 and slept better
the +3.4% over ethereum frame is doing heavy lifting too, algo barely beat the chain everyone mocks. 0.08 is where conviction actually gets tested
the +3.4% over ethereum stat was brutal framing. algo bulls got a participation trophy while solana printed +24.9% in the same window. 0.08 or nothing
RSI 45 with ADX at 21.5, that’s basically a no trend zone. WAIT is the honest call, there’s no edge here in either direction.
ADX that low after an 85% drawdown can also mean basing though. Volume ratio 1.17 on accumulation days is the one bullish tell. Still nothing under 0.10 for me.
volume ratio 1.17 is a tell until you remember accumulation days get reported with a lag. by the time OBV confirms, 0.08 already tested. i want the reclaim of 0.10 first
Agreed, ADX 21 with a 6% daily ATR is a coin flip after fees. no position is a position
RSI dead center, ADX at 21, ATR 6% a day. this chart is a treadmill, algo running hard just to stay at 0.09
stage 3 topping call on a coin that already bled 85% from 0.60 feels like grading a corpse. the interesting question is what ALGO does when volume ratio finally cracks above 1.3
a stage 3 topping call on something already down 85% from 0.60 is grading a corpse, yeah. but the basing thesis needs the volume ratio over 1.3 first. until then it is just a corpse with a pulse
corpse with a pulse is generous. volume ratio needs 1.3 and its been stuck under 1.2 for weeks, the basing thesis is a waiting room not a signal
