9.01 from a 55.70 high and the report says HOLD. thats some premium grade copium for a 6x away token
subnets keep eating the base layer fee revenue, the validator economics aint what those 2021 decks promised
6x away is generous, its 6.2 on my math from 9.01 to 55.70. either way nobody buying here is catching the next leg, theyre catching a retest
ava labs actually ships code, ill give them that much. still not adding here tho
same boat, dca at 14 and now just sitting on the bag quietly
subnets actually generating real fee revenue is the only chart that matters long term. price is the sideshow until that shows up somewhere in the burn math
burn math person here. subnet fees do show up somewhere, problem is base layer burn needs L1 activity and C-chain volume has been anemic all year
c-chain volume anemic all year is the quiet killer. subnets routing fees away from the base layer means the burn thesis needs new math, not patience
burn thesis needs the c-chain to be the product again, full stop. until that shows up every hold rating on avax is a hope ticket with a chart attached
avax under $9, above the 200d, golden cross, 50d rising, and the engine still screams WAIT. wild stuff
the engine knows. a golden cross after a drawdown that deep is usually just dead cat geometry, you want the retest to hold before touching it
retest ray is right about the golden cross after a deep drawdown. want to see the 200d hold on an actual retest before adding anything under 9
the retest is everything. golden crosses after an 84 percent drawdown that fail the retest become bull traps within weeks, the engine saying WAIT tracks that history
The -42% strategy return with -51% max dd is exactly why it says wait lol. system barely survived its own backtest
the engine saying WAIT under a golden cross is usually its way of telling you the trend is real but the entry is not. 9 dollars after a 55 high is a lottery ticket priced like one
holding from 14 with you martin. at some point avax stops being a bag and starts being a position, ill let you know when i get there
held from 13.80 myself, at this point the 9 dollar entry debate is academic. either subnet fees show up in the burn math or we all wait for the next cycle narrative
held from 14 with you buddy. at least the engine admits the entry is bad, thats more honesty than most avax threads manage in a year
entry at 14 into a stage 1 bottoming tag is brutal but the 8.56 support holding is the only thing keeping this from being a SELL with extra steps
golden cross with the engine still saying wait is the most honest signal on the page. 9.01 from a 55.70 high means the upside math is a lottery ticket, size it like one
9.01 from a 55.70 high and the engine still says wait. the minus 42 backtest did more honest work than most avax threads this year
HOLD with a -42% backtest and -51% max dd on the 12k plan. elena basically wrote WAIT in hold font and i respect the honesty
wait in hold font is going straight into my notes app. a minus 42 percent backtest and people still debate entry tranches, the engine did the math for you
tjark b saying elena wrote WAIT in hold font made me laugh way too hard. a minus 42 percent backtest earns you one honest warning label, this is it
wait in hold font undersells it. a negative 42 backtest is the engine admitting there is no trade, hold is just the polite label for do nothing
^ a hold signal you cant act on is decoration. either trim under 9 or say nothing, a minus 42 percent backtest deserves an actual decision not a vibe
a 12k plan allocating to a token 6.2x off its high while the engine says wait. smallest tranche possible and let the retest decide feels like the only sane read
