buy signal on a coin that is 83% off its high with a death cross still on the chart. bold strategy elena
she did list the death cross under bear factors, it is 9 bull vs 2 bear. that ADX at 40.3 is doing heavy lifting though
Being 83% off the high is also where bottoms get built. RSI at 61.4 is barely warm, there is room to run before anything looks stretched.
83% off the high is exactly where buy signals are supposed to print. buying green candles at 0.39 was the bold part
held from 0.31, can confirm nobody was brave back then, we were just stuck lol
CRO at 0.07 with OBV accumulation and 1.56x volume on an up day, i am watching that 0.05 support like a hawk
same, if 0.05 breaks this whole thesis is toast
0.05 held twice on the yearly chart though, and the 50d is rising for the first time since spring. i will panic alongside you if it breaks, but that volume ratio 3.55 says buyers show up
volume ratio 3.55 is one day of data though. i want to see 0.05 hold through a red week before calling it a floor
fair on the one day of data, but the 50d turning up gives the 0.05 floor a second leg. one indicator alone never carries the call anyway
fair, though its 3.55 on the breakout AND obv rising on the flat days after. accumulation reads better across a week than one candle anyway
a red week is coming eventually, but volume ratio 3.55 on the breakout day is real bid interest, not a one candle wick
3.55 on the breakout plus obv holding up on the flat days is decent. still want one red week above 0.06 before trusting the bid
death cross on CRO in late 2026 is a lagging indicator filing its report on a crash that already finished. 83% drawdowns reprice everything
ADX 40.3 on an 83% drawdown coin is wild. strong trend sure, but trends built on thin volume reverse the fastest
except the volume ratio was 3.55 on the breakout and obv kept climbing on the flat days after. thats not thin volume, thats a bid with patience
a BUY at 0.07 with ADX at 40.3 and i still sat on my hands for an hour. these 12k deployment plans always read easier than they execute
Elena putting 12k into CRO at 0.07 with the 50d turning up for the first time since spring. bold, but 0.05 has held twice and thats more structure than most alts can show right now
0.05 holding twice is doing all the work in every bullish take here. one flush through it and the 12k plan gets repriced real quick
9 bull factors vs 2 bear and half the comments are still doom about one death cross. the OBV accumulation is the actual tell here imo
obv divergence can sit flat for months before price follows. watched it happen on algorand all through 2023
watched the same flatline on algo too and it did eventually pay, problem was eventually meaning 8 months of watching paint dry
the algo comparison is painfully accurate, sat through that one. obv said accumulate while price said nothing for eight months
obv climbing while price sits flat is the quietest accumulation signal there is. the death cross crowd is trading last month’s news
full send into a coin called CRO at 0.07, the 2021 bagholders salute you. ADX 40.3 does make the trend case tho
