82% drawdown and they still slap a BUY on it lmao. to be fair 0.07 to 0.24 is a real trend, but resistance at 0.29 is right there
0.29 is the line tho. floor climbed from 0.07 to 0.24 with obv rising the whole way, one weekly close above and the -82% stat stops mattering
drawdown_dentist 0.07 to 0.24 in a quarter is the answer to the lmao. the 1.33 high is a dead reference, nobody who bought there is setting this price now
ADX 52.9 is genuinely strong. People sleeping on ENA because of last year, the 3 month chart says otherwise
8 bull factors and MACD still negative. that 2 in the bear column is the one that matters imo
^ eh MACD lags hard on trend reversals, price over both MAs with rising 50d is the better tell here
-82% from the high and it is still a BUY? That is exactly why I trust trend-following systems over my own feelings. Price over the 50d and 200d with a golden cross and ADX at 52.9 is not a bounce, that is a real Stage 2 move. Accumulating OBV confirms it too.
vol ratio 1.78 tho. that is the quiet stat in this whole breakdown
sats4vega its not quiet, people just repeat the ADX number because its bigger. vol expanding into higher highs is the structure holding, the -82 percent from 1.33 is ancient history
Respectfully disagree on conviction here. 8 bull factors but the two bear ones matter: MACD still negative and price is 82% under the 52w high. Ethena carried fresher memories of the degen yield era than most tokens. I would deploy half now and keep dry powder under 0.20.
dry powder under 0.20 assumes you get the pullback. ADX 52.9 trends rarely hand you that entry, staged buys on the way up beat waiting for a reprint that might not come
ADX 52.9 also cuts the other way, the strongest readings usually print mid trend not at the start. staged entries are fine but if 0.29 breaks this stops being a debate real quick
Kwame D. the whole point of the system is that you cannot front-run the trend with feelings. MACD lagging just means the crossover has not printed yet, not that the uptrend is fake. RSI at 58 with a rising 50d is textbook healthy, not overheated.
onas_low this. RSI 58 with a rising 50d is literally the textbook continuation zone, the overheated label only applies above 70. MACD negative just means it crossed later than price did
the 52w high anchor ignores that the floor climbed from 0.07 to 0.24 in a quarter. trend systems buy structure, old highs are trivia
Kwame D. keep half your powder and watch ena print 0.29 without you. the whole 8 to 2 factor count already told you which side the weight is on
Kwame D. dry powder under 0.20 on a token that bottomed at 0.07 three months back is just hope. staged buys on the way up, exactly like carveout said
everyone anchoring on the 1.33 high is missing that this thing printed 0.07 three months ago. trend systems dont care where it used to trade, only the direction its pointing
0.07 to 0.24 in a quarter is exactly why the 52w high anchor is noise. the real question is whether funding stays sane once the trade gets crowded, that is what ended the last ena run
3 months ago you could buy ena at 0.07 and the bear case is still anchored on 1.33. deployment plans get built for the people who missed the bottom
15k portfolio on a 0.24 token with ADX at 52.9, the trend crowd finally gets an analysis that matches how they actually trade. vol ratio 1.78 is the quiet confirmation nobody is talking up
every deployment table gets graded on the entries nobody took. 0.07 to 0.24 means the system missed the first 240 percent by design, thats the tuition for trend following
staged buys on a 240 percent quarterly trend beats my usual approach of full sending the top. the dry powder under 0.20 crowd will watch this leave without them
funding and basis are what ended the last ENA run at the top, price didnt just fall on its own. if the trade gets crowded again the 0.29 break matters less than funding spiking
funding ended the last run and it would end this one too, but 0.24 with obv rising isnt crowded yet. the crowded part starts after 0.29 breaks
funding is the kill switch, agreed. but obv rising at 0.24 says the trade is uncrowded. the danger zone starts after 0.29 breaks and everyone piles in
