49% drawdown from 126k and they call it HOLD. i mean yeah if you survived this far you are probably not selling but calling it Stage 3 Topping when BTC is half off is wild
pullback_ninja calling it Stage 3 Topping when BTC is 49% off its high is why nobody trusts analysis accounts. just say you dont know and let people decide
2 bullish vs 5 bearish factors and the call is WAIT not sell. these analysis posts always hedge so they can claim they were right either way lol
^ its trend following not prophecy. system says no edge so you wait. nothing wrong with that approach when death cross is active and OBV is dropping
HOLD rating at 63.9k with a 12k deployment plan is basically dollar cost averaging with extra steps. not exactly controversial
sats_or_zero 12k across a hold thesis is literally what your grandma does with index funds but with more decimals
sats_or_zero index funds dont have 49% drawdowns in 8 months though. the grandma comparison kind of falls apart there
49.3 percent drawdown from the 126k high and the call is HOLD not accumulate. someone at the desk still remembers the 2022 nuke
deploying 12k into BTC at 49% drawdown from 126k high takes conviction most traders dont have. respect
49 percent drawdown from 126k and the recommendation is HOLD not accumulate. you dont need a 12k deployment plan to figure out buying at half off is good
cost_basis_zero index funds dont drop 49 percent in 8 months though. the grandma comparison doesnt survive contact with reality
cost_basis_zero buying at half off the ATH and calling it HOLD instead of accumulate is peak analysis hedging
AVAX at 88% drawdown with a sell call makes sense but deploying 35k into it? the conviction-to-risk ratio there is rough
2 bullish vs 5 bearish signals and the call is HOLD. these analysis frameworks always hedge so they can claim they were right either way
2 bullish vs 5 bearish signals and the verdict is HOLD. these rating systems are designed to never be wrong
HOLD rating with 2 bull and 5 bear factors is basically a fancy way of saying nobody knows. if the 200dma holds it’s accumulation, if it breaks it’s distribution. same coin different candle
63,946 current price against a 126k 52w high. thats a 49% drawdown and the rating is HOLD not SELL. interesting call
cost_basis_kep_ HOLD at 49% down makes sense if your horizon is 3-5 years. if you need that money in 6 months its a SELL
12k deployment into something down 49% from the high takes real conviction or real dollar cost averaging blinders. either way good luck
12,000 deployment plan means dollar cost averaging across 12k levels which only makes sense if you have a multi-year time horizon. most readers here will panic sell at the first red wick
Hristo the 12K deployment across multiple price levels only works if you actually have conviction. most people will paper hand at the first 10% dump
Hristo P. 12K across multiple price levels means dollar cost averaging down from here. the problem is if BTC drops another 20% to 50k you run out of deployment capital right at the bottom
12K deployment plan with 5 bearish signals active. at that point youre not investing youre praying the death cross resolves itself
theta_drift 5 bearish signals and a HOLD rating is basically a soft SELL for anyone without a 5 year horizon
theta_drift_kep 5 bearish signals active and deploying 12k into BTC at 49% drawdown. the conviction only makes sense if you believe 126k wasnt the cycle top and theres another leg up
