OBV down while price grinds sideways at 81781 is the quiet tell here. distribution into strength, not accumulation
81781 with a 126k high behind it, yet golden cross, rising 50d and 1.39x volume on an up day? That 4/4 split is the most honest signal I have seen all week.
The 4 bull / 4 bear tie is exactly why HOLD at low conviction makes sense. No edge means no position change, simple as that.
^ a 4/4 tie at 81781 is the market admitting it has no idea either. rare honest signal
ADX 18.2 backs up that tie too. no trend strength means the 50d at 81791 gets lost and reclaimed on alternating days, classic chop tape
From 126k down to 81781 and people cite the golden cross as the bullish tell? that same cross fired mid-drawdown in 2019 and lagged the entire bottom. DCA and wait.
A 35k deployment plan into Stage 1 bottoming is patient capital. Most would rather chase the 50d reclaim and wonder why they got chopped.
patient capital is a nice way of saying no signal lol. but yeah with a 4/4 tie, sitting on hands is the trade
agreed on the chop, though the 50d reclaim worked twice this summer at 1.39x volume. holding the rest of the 35k for the actual range break, not the cross
which range are you watching? the 78k to 84k box has been the whole story for weeks, a break either way invalidates half these factors anyway
^ and 12-buy DCA at +6.7% still beat the strategy. patience paid, the signals did not
59 trades for a -4.3% return while lump sum a year ago did +18.8%. the whole backtest is just an argument for doing nothing lmao
