    this whole comment section is trend followers vs mean reversers and ADX 44 already voted. manage your size, not your opinions

    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

      Reply
    2. mezzodeck

      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

      0.8 r:r only holds if you full size at 2458. half here, half at the 20d retest fixes the math and keeps the stage 2 exposure

    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

    Reply
    1. deadcat_denny

      nah, ADX 44 with OBV accumulation, trends this strong dont just die because rsi looks stretched. resistance at 2564 is the real test

      Reply
    2. rossi_long

      1990 aint coming while ADX sits at 44, strong trends retest the 20d not the 50d. sitting out since 2117 gonna sting worse than a bad entry

        smaller size at 2458 still loses if the 20d retest never comes and this just grinds to 2822. fantasy fill cuts both ways

          fantasy fill cuts both ways is the most honest sentence in this thread. split the entries and let the trend prove itself, ego is not a stop loss

        the last tap above 2.4k ran another 400 points before cooling. rsi entries in stage 2 burn shorts more than longs

    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

    Reply
    1. Yuki Tan

      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

      Reply
    2. Hege Sto

      Target 2 at 2822 plus a later leg still leaves me underwater from a 3800 entry. Us 2024 buyers are playing a different game than the new entrants here.

      a 2822 target selling bagholders on breakeven minus 40 percent is optimistic marketing but i respect the hopium

    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

    Reply

      8% book risk to chase stage 2 that already ran 20% off the low, hard pass. good writeup on sizing tho, most analysis posts skip it entirely

      Reply
      1. Helga Vos

        8% book risk is exactly what a stage 2 entry looks like. the hard pass crowd shows up at 3200 saying they always believed

    obv accumulation on eth has been the bull case for 9 months while price halved. volume indicators without price follow-through is just hope with a chart

    Reply
  8. 0xmarshland

    stop 2117 target 2822 with OBV accumulating under it. the death cross from months ago is the stale signal here, not the buy call

    Reply

      half off the high was a gift at 2117 stop distance ago, now its a chase. still long from 2310 tho so dont mind me
