stage 3 topping, price stuck under the 200d at 310.69, and a 6% daily ATR. yeah hold is generous, this is a coin that chops you both ways
the wait call is fair tbh, R:R of 1.45 at midrange entry is thin. backtest entry at 233.90 is already up big, taking that and sitting out is valid
1y chart is brutal, 598 down to 307. weird that it ran +45.6% in 3 months while still under the 200d tho. if it reclaims 310 this whole read flips
the backtest entry at 233.90 being up big is the whole story here imo, fresher entries get the chop
reclaiming 310.69 flips the whole read, until then this is a range coin. that 6 percent daily ATR chops both sides of the book
310.69 as the only line that matters is correct. months of rejections and still midrange on a 15k plan, the backtest crowd at 233.90 got the better deal
the +45.6% off the low while still under the 200d is the tell for me too. someone is accumulating, but i want the 310 reclaim before believing it
6% daily ATR is exactly why i stopped swing trading BCH. grufflode is right, it chops both ways, the 200d at 310 has been a ceiling for months
hold is generous, agree. thin 1.45 R:R at midrange. take the 233.90 backtest entry and sit out the chop instead
233.90 backtest crew sitting pretty rn while midrange buyers babysit a 1.45 r:r. fair take
233.90 entry sitting up big proves the backtest crowd right again. midrange buyers get the 6 percent ATR treatment
holding a stage 3 top with a 15k deployment plan is bold. i would have waited for a retest of 233 before committing anything
598 down to 307 on the 1y and the 200d at 310.69 is the only line that matters on this chart. everything else is noise
Months under the 200d at 310.69 and the plan still says hold a 15k deployment. With a 6 percent daily ATR I would run half size at most.
half size on 6 percent atr is still generous imo, quarter size and double the patience. that 310.69 line already rejected four tests
four rejections at 310.69 and people are still arguing full vs half size. quarter position sounds smart until the reclaim runs without you lol
quarter size on a 6 percent atr coin is the actually sane take. the sheet says half but the 310.69 line has said no four times already
half size on a 6 percent ATR coin is just correct position sizing, glad the sheet finally admits variance exists
598 down to 307 in a year and the call is HOLD, so basically keep the bag you already have lol. at least the 233.90 discipline is there
keep the bag lol. 233.90 backtest is up big while anyone who bought the 340 area in june is still praying to 310.69 like its a magic number
backtest crew ate well at 233.90, no argument. just noting the risk reward flips hard if 310.69 ever prints a weekly close
fair, but holding a bag sized at 233.90 is a very different trade from holding one bought at 340. the entry does half the work
+45.6 percent off the low and still zero daily closes above the 200d. someone is selling every test of 310, that worries me more than the 6 percent ATR
thats the tell for me too. four taps on 310.69 with zero daily closes above the 200d is distribution until proven otherwise
