dot at 0.85 from an 11.60 high and the verdict is HOLD? down 92.7% and the model still says topping, brutal
thats how trend following works tho. it will always be late at the turn, the 50/200 crossover needs price to move first
Stage 3 topping on a coin that is already 92.7% off its 11.60 high? dot keeps finding new ways to pain max
a topping read at 0.85 made me laugh. that has been the whole dot story since the 2021 unwind honestly
5 bull vs 4 bear factors is a coin flip. at least the low conviction label is honest, most analysts would have spun it into a buy
agreed, RSI 51.6 tells you nothing either. waiting for the 50d slope to prove itself before touching my 10k
remember when dot was a top 5 coin and everyone had parachain auction bags. 0.85 hurts to look at
