LTC at $47 when the 52w high is $146. that hurts to look at
4 bull 4 bear is basically a coin flip. no edge means no trade, simple
litecoin halving already priced in months ago. dont expect magic
halving_ghost_ halving narrative only works in bull markets. at 47 with a 146 high nobody is buying the supply cut story
47.54 with a 146 high is a 67% drawdown and the call is HOLD? feel like thats generous
chart_maven_88 LTC has always been a slow grind. held since 2021 and seen worse drawdowns than this
4 bull 4 bear indicators is literally noise. if your analysis is a coin flip just say so
Sven A. calling it a coin flip is generous. 4 bull 4 bear with a HOLD conclusion means the analysis adds zero directional value. just DCA and skip the indicator theatre
fib_void_ 4 bull 4 bear is wild. just flip a coin and save yourself the reading time. on-chain MVRV lagged every major LTC move by 3 weeks minimum
mvrv lagging every major ltc move by 3 weeks makes it decorative on a coin this thin. volume metrics need actual volume
Decorative is generous. MVRV on LTC is a lagging indicator of a lagging indicator, half these dashboards would be more honest with price and volume only.
mvrv lagging three weeks on a coin this thin, agreed. ltc volume is so low half the onchain table is noise anyway
4 bull 4 bear and the conclusion is HOLD at minus 67. thats not analysis, thats charting to justify a bag you already hold
minus 67 and still holding since the 2021 top. at least the ltc crowd is consistent about it
35000 deployment across 4 indicators giving equal weight to on-chain and macro is fine for a thesis but terrible for execution. on-chain signals lag price by 2-3 weeks. by the time MVRV flashes the move already happened
35000 deployment plan at these prices is basically dollar cost averaging with extra steps. not mad at it
47.54 down from 146 is a 67% drawdown and the call is HOLD. brave or delusional, pick one
Lukas B. its been a HOLD since 2021. at some point you just admit its a bag
67 percent drawdown from the 52 week high and the recommendation is HOLD. at that point the analysis is just cope with charts
Cope with charts is harsh but a hold call at minus 67 needs an invalidation level attached. Hope without a sell trigger is just waiting.
35k deployment and the call is hold down here. at least state the exit, an analysis without one is a diary entry
diary entry is the perfect phrase. a hold at minus 67 with no invalidation is vibes with a chart attached
diary entry is right. give me the level where hold becomes sell or the whole 35k plan is autopilot buying a drawdown
47.54 against a 146 high and the halving crowd still shows up every thread. ltc is a habit at this point not a position
47.54 against a 146 high and the 35k plan still says buy. respect the discipline, question the sanity
