50% off the high and they still list RSI 71.9 in the bullish column lol. entry quality says extended for a reason, R:R 0.8 is rough
8 bull vs 2 bear tho, hard to fight the tape when OBV is up and vol ratio is 2.51. ADX 44 basically screams trend on
rsi stays pinned above 70 for weeks in a stage 2 trend, that is literally what ADX 44 is telling you. waiting for 1990 in this tape is how you miss the whole move
rsi at 71.9 and the call is buy, bold. got burned entering this hot in the last cycle, id rather wait for a retest of the 50d around 1990
nah, ADX 44 with OBV accumulation, trends this strong dont just die because rsi looks stretched. resistance at 2564 is the real test
Half off the high at 2458 and still Stage 2 uptrend. The death cross as the lone bear factor feels thin when the volume ratio reads 2.51.
still bag holding from the 4953 top. target 2 at 2822 doesnt even get me back to green, but stop at 2117 means i watch from the sidelines i guess
same boat since the 4953 top. not adding here but target 2 at 2822 plus one more leg later and the average is not hopeless anymore
12k deployment against a stop at 2117 is roughly 8% risk on the book. for an asset 50% off its high with OBV accumulation that is a reasonable punt, sizing is the part everyone skips
