ICP at 2.19 down 86% from 15.56 and the target 1 is literally 2.00 which is BELOW the entry. how is that a target lmao
ADX of 9.5 means theres basically no trend at all. calling it SELL when momentum is flat seems wrong, this is just sideways bleed
ADX of 9.5 means there is literally no trend. calling it a strong sell when its just sideways bleed feels like kicking someone while they are already on the floor
been holding since 400+ and every analysis like this makes me die a little inside. -86% drawdown is not a dip its agrave
icp_bagholder_2021_ -86% drawdown is bad but ICP launched at 400 and the team sold the top. retail was always going to be left holding
^ the target 1 below entry price is actually the stop loss at 2.00. read the table again, stop is -8.4% not target
backtest strategy -52.8% with 36% win rate over 52 trades. this thing printed money for nobody
52W high 15.56 now at 2.19 and target 1 is 2.00 which is below entry. even the bull case is bear
ADX of 9.5 means there is no trend to trade. selling into a flat market with no volume just locks in losses
Daria P. exactly. ADX under 10 is a do nothing zone. this analysis is correct on direction but the trade makes no sense with no momentum
ADX of 9.5 and they still published a SELL. you dont need a 12k word analysis to say a token down 86% is bad
tomas v. ADX under 10 means the trend signal is literally noise. selling here is just locking in an 86% loss for no reason
Daria P. ADX at 9.5 and they still put out a SELL rating. calling it a strong sell when there is no trend is just noise. wait for direction then make the call
86% drawdown from launch and the analysis says sell at 2.19. thanks for the heads up, very helpful for the bagholders who bought at 400
52W high 15.56 now at 2.19. even the DCA strategy loses money. ICP is the perfect example of a token with no organic demand supporting the price
Darian V. 52W high of 15.56 and trading at 2.19 is not a dip or a sale. its a slow bleed to zero with extra steps. ICP holders are in pure copium territory
81% drawdown from the 52w high and they still called SELL. ICP bagholders are the most patient people in crypto or the most stubborn
chain_depth_42 86% drawdown from 15.56 to 2.19 and the SELL call is based on a death cross that already happened months ago. at this point the downside is priced in
ICP at 2.19 with a 15.56 high is honestly impressive in the worst way. Dfinity burned through so much goodwill
12k deployment plan on a token trading at 2.19 with no momentum. DCA into a knife catchers support group more like
the support group meets at 2.05 apparently. one clean break below that and the 1.98 low is the next stop, painful catch incoming
ADX at 9.5 and they still published a SELL. calling direction with no momentum signal is just guessing with extra steps
Daria P. right. under 10 ADX is noise. selling at 2.19 with an 86% drawdown already realized is locking in the loss for nothing
12k deployment plan on a token down 86%. DCA works when the asset recovers. ICP has shown zero mean reversion. throwing good money after bad
