MNT holding a golden cross while price sits under the 50d at 0.59 is exactly how topping patterns start. RSI 39.4 says the buyers already left.
Backtest barely breaking even at 0.1% over two years with 23 trades kind of proves the point. The trend signal kept you out of the 11.8% six month slide at least.
0.1% over two years and they still call it high conviction lol. at least the drawdown side of the math holds up, 23 trades and no disaster
golden cross with price stuck under the 50d at 0.59 is such a trap setup. seen the same pattern on half the L2 tokens this year, the cross always lags the top
golden cross lagging the top is the L2 special this year, watched it on arb tokens too. price under the 50d at 0.59 makes the cross decorative
Support at 0.54 is only about 3.5% below current price. If that goes I expect a fast retest of the 0.39 low, no interest catching that knife.
0.54 has taken three tests since September and each bounce got weaker. Support that worn usually breaks on the first real push after a death cross, not worth front-running a 0.39 retest.
Agreed on the worn support, and funding staying flat while price slips under the 50d tells you longs have not even started capitulating. The 0.39 scenario feels live, not a tail case
3.5% to support is nothing at MNT daily range. one red candle and you are deciding whether to catch 0.39 or not, id rather let someone else find out
0.1% over two years on 23 trades and the conviction label still got printed. at least the signal kept you out of the 11.8% slide, which is the actual product
