0 bull vs 9 bear factors is brutal even for a trend system. held cro since the cronos chain hype days, this one just bleeds
@dreggs same, i averaged down from 0.12. at least the system is honest about it now, 9 bear factors dont lie
9 bear factors is the system finally saying what the chart screamed for a year. visa card nostalgia is not a thesis
0.05 from a 0.39 high is brutal. held cro since the cronos visa card days and im just numb at this point
@dstall_ held since the cronos visa card era too. numb is accurate. at least the system finally prints SELL instead of pretending 0.05 is a dip worth catching
same card era bag here. the visa cashback perk was the only time cro ever felt like a product instead of a number
85.9% drawdown from the 52w high and still no relief signal. Anyone buying this dip is catching a falling knife with gloves off
@Lucia Ferrero no gloves lmao. 85.9 percent down with zero relief signal, at this point its not a falling knife its the whole knife block
@Lucia Ferrero the slide from 0.39 to 0.05 took the longs down with it the whole way. even the knife block metaphor feels generous at 85.9 percent
85.9 percent down with OBV still distributing means the knife has handle left. 0.05 is a checkpoint, nobody promised a floor
SELL tag is right. the on-chain volume on cronos chain dried up months ago, no idea who is still buying this
dried up is putting it nicely. dex volumes there are a rounding error of solana on a bad tuesday
chain volume died the second the defi incentives ended in 2022. nobody stuck around once the rewards tap shut off
the tvl there was mostly their own incentives recycled back and forth. take away the chain subsidies and cro is a loyalty token for an exchange nobody uses
recycled incentives is exactly it. the tvl counted twice because the rewards got staked right back into the same pools that paid them out
counting staked rewards as fresh tvl is how every incentive chain flattered its numbers in 2021. cronos just ran the playbook the longest
recycled tvl also explains why the number looked stable for so long. same coins ping ponging between the same three incentive pools
exactly, pull the incentive chart and the tvl chart on top of each other, they are the same line. been saying loyalty token since the card perks got gutted
the overlay is brutal when you chart it. tvl died the exact month incentives ended, no lag at all
the incentive tap shutting in 2022 was the natural experiment. everyone who claimed they were there for the tech just left
SELL at 0.05 feels late but the 9 bear factors were visible for months. visa card cashback alone never justified the 2021 valuation
late SELL calls still have value as permission to stop averaging down. someone holding from 0.12 needs the system to print it before they actually sell
0 bull vs 9 bear factors and price at 0.05. the SELL tag finally matches what the volume chart has been saying all year
RSI 34 with OBV still distributing means 0.05 is not the capitulation print the card crowd is hoping for
obv never lies on these slow bleeds. every relief candle since 0.12 has been exit liquidity for someone smarter
exit liquidity since 0.12 is brutal but accurate. every bounce since has printed a lower high, the obv line just confirms what the eyes already know
RSI 34 during distribution is the trap print too, oversold readings in a downtrend just mean the next leg has room. 0.05 with OBV flattening would be different
0 bull factors from a checklist that gave akedo four. when the system cant find one friendly line item for CRO at 0.05, the loyalty token argument stops being a joke
0 bull vs 9 bear is the loudest print the system can make. even the card perks crowd has to admit the cashback math died with the 2022 incentives
0 bull factors from a system that usually finds something nice to say. cro is a loyalty program with a chart attached
