buying something 84% off the high because 9 of 11 factors flipped green, classic degen logic. ADX 40.5 is spicy tho, trend is actually real
2.49 against a 15.56 high means the market already voted once. OBV accumulation with vol ratio 1.51 is the only thing making me look twice
icp down 84% from 15.56 and the engine calls BUY at 2.49. respect the conviction lol
it caught +4.3% flipping between 2.34 and 2.44 last week. the system trades the range, its not a hodl call
The death cross bear flag while everything else screams uptrend is exactly why I would size the 15k deployment small. RSI 59.2 leaves room to run though.
icp pumps 20% every few months on some node news and everyone forgets the drawdown chart. 2.49 is fine if you actually take profits
