+47.2% over 3 months and still 90% off the 11.60 high. DOT is a partial recovery trade, 1.30 is where it gets interesting
medium conviction BUY on something still 90% below the 11.60 high is brave. support at 1.01 holding is the one thing going for it
1.01 is doing work but adx at 19 means barely any trend yet. slow grind into 1.30 resistance feels more likely than a breakout
agreed on the conviction part. rsi 46 with adx under 20 is barely a trend, more like a slow drift upward
bought dot around 4 bucks last cycle. seeing a fresh buy signal at 1.12 is honestly pain lol
relatable, my cost basis is 3.60 lol. small mercy that 1.01 support held through the last wick down
resistance at 1.30 is the whole trade imo. golden cross and rising 50d mean nothing till price clears that zone
