held LTC since it was 90 and even im not buying this. death cross, OBV rolling over, vol ratio 0.62. WAIT is the right call for once
since 90, respect. yeah the 5 bull vs 5 bear split says it all, no edge either direction. patience is free
Interesting that ADX reads 28.6, strong trend, yet the system calls it topping. 48 against the 146 high is painful and adding here feels like catching a knife.
LTC at 48 with a 52w high of 146.61 and they call it Stage 3 topping. kind of impressive it found a top 67% below the last one
ADX at 28.6 says strong trend, yet price sits below the 200d at 50.47. Held LTC since 2017 and the pattern never changes, we move when nobody is watching. The 43.38 support is the line I care about.
5 bull factors, 5 bear factors, signal WAIT. appreciate the honesty at least, that mix matches my own confusion on this chart.
support 43 resistance 55, it will visit both before anyone profits off this call
