HOLD at a 12k deployment plan, bold when BCH has been chopping between 400-550 for months. kowalski braver than me
kim calling 12k bold while this analysis has actual levels and drawdown math is wild. it earns a follow at least
The 52W high of 668 tells you everything about the upside potential here. Long-term this is a solid hold.
bruno the 52w high is also a -35% drawdown from where we are now lol. holding thru that takes conviction most here dont have
63% off the high and the 2-year backtest still came out flat. that’s the whole BCH story in one paragraph tbh
^ 12k in, 12k out after two years of signals and crossovers. brutal honesty from the system at least
12k plan on a coin that cant even reclaim 300. respect the discipline but id rather just buy the 199 retest if it comes
6 bull factors against 3 bear and the verdict is still WAIT. The system clearly does not trust its own signals below the 200d, that tells you more than the factor count.
thats kind of the point tho, WAIT below the 200d is what saved you from the 355 to 245 leg everyone rode down
WAIT saved the 355 to 245 leg but it also missed every 199 bounce. the system pays rent on both sides of the trade
6 bull factors with price under the 200d is exactly when a trend system says WAIT. it waits for the 199 or 347 break to matter
Honestly, a slow deployment plan is smarter than lump-sum buying into this sideways action. Averaging in over weeks.
death cross with the 200d sitting at 347 while price is 245. support at 199 is the only thing worth watching here imo
199 held twice already this year. third test usually breaks, id set alerts below 190 instead of right at support
alerts under 190 squad. if the third test at 199 breaks im not standing under it either
190 alert gang checking in. the middle of a 199 to 347 band is where patience goes to die
been below the 200d since spring, that’s priced in by now. RSI 53 with ADX 34 means the trend guys arent even scared yet
rsi 53.8 under a death cross is just relief bounce territory tbh. and adx 34 counts for downtrends too lol
relief bounce or not, scaling into 245 with the range mapped at 199 and 347 beats chasing either breakout. dead center of the band is where DCA belongs imo
199 support has held three separate tests this year. im with the hold crew, death cross or not
three tests held and still 80 points of distance to the 200d at 347. i hold but i stopped pretending this chart goes anywhere fast
12k deployment into something flat for two years is patience training with extra steps. at least the kowalski levels are clean
12k spread across stages into a 199 to 347 range is fine but the death cross up at 347 makes me want to wait for either extreme, not accumulate in the middle
12k spread across stages inside a 199 to 347 range. kowalski basically prescribed two years of limit orders lol
