-85% from the 52w high and people still ask if it’s a deal. the chart literally says avoid and somehow that’s controversial lol
@Fritjof it’s not about the drawdown, it’s about CRO surviving every cycle while louder chains died. i hold a small bag and even i’m not buying this setup though. below both MAs with RSI at 39 is not the dip signal people think it is
interesting that the backtest still ended +23.7% with a -46.7% max drawdown. so the system made money but you had to watch half your stack evaporate first. most people patient enough for that are also the ones who’d sell at the first death cross and miss the re-entry
@Kwame survived a -46.7% drawdown in the backtest on paper. real people dont sit through that on a coin with 7 bear factors, they capitulate at the bottom and the system looks great in hindsight
1 bull factor vs 7 bear factors and a stage 3 topping label. this is the most readable sell signal the site has put out this week, honestly. resistance at 0.07 while sitting on 0.06 support means the R/R just isn’t there until one of those levels breaks
That is exactly why the 10k deployment plan staggers entries instead of lumping in. If CRO loses 0.06 the next real support is way down, no urgency to catch this knife.
stage 3 topping on a coin thats already -85% off the high is brutal. and yeah that 0.07 resistance capping every bounce while support sits at 0.06, youre risking a full unit to make like 15%. pass
