-62% from the 30.81 high and the verdict is still just wait? at some point that IS the entry
there’s a difference between cheap and capitulated though. LINK bled 62% while the rest of the market chopped sideways, that’s relative weakness, not a discount. want the 50d to at least flatten before calling this an entry
3 bull vs 6 bear factors kinda answers that. golden cross dont mean much when its 62% underwater
Stage 1 bottoming on LINK has historically dragged for months. parked my funds elsewhere until it reclaims the 200d with conviction
the 200d is holding though, thats why its 3 bull vs 6 bear and not worse. reclaim of the 50d around 12ish and i stop dcaing into boring
everyone sleeping on the OBV accumulation with vol ratio 1.27. thats quiet buying, not weakness
quiet buying sure, but OBV accumulation with RSI at 39 has been the story for months now. until that vol ratio shows up on an up day instead of a down one I’m treating it as drift, not accumulation
