75% drawdown and they still call it a HOLD lmao. near was $8 a year ago, golden cross or not thats a lot of bagholding
the whole point of stage 1 bottoming is you accumulate before the move. golden cross on the 200d actually matters more than your feelings about the drawdown
dragonscale_77 calling it bagholding but the 200d golden cross is literally the one signal that has preceded every major L1 reversal. NEAR at 2 bucks with AI agent narrative is a bet on compute demand not charts
RSI at 52.6 with OBV climbing and 1.74 volume ratio tells me accumulation is real. bought a small bag at 2.10 last week, comfortable holding
Tomislav Petric RSI at 52.6 means nothing on a token down 75% from ATH. accumulation is just copium until volume confirms a reversal
rsi_agnostic_ called it bagholding lmao but Sander V. has a point about stage 1 bottoming. the 200d golden cross is the only signal that matters here
rsi_agnostic_ RSI means nothing on a 75% drawdown token is exactly right. same thing people said about LINK at $6 and it ripped to $22 three months later. or it didnt. depends on the cycle
35K deployment plan on a token down 75% from 8.24 is either deep conviction or elaborate cope. the AI agent narrative better deliver
35k deployment plan on a token trading at 2 bucks with a 75% drawdown. oliver schmidt has more conviction than me thats for sure
NEAR at 2.00 with a 52W high of 8.24 is a 75% drawdown. the 35k deployment plan shows serious conviction but the chart looks like a slope of hope
dev_deploy_ 8.24 to 2.00 and theyre calling it HOLD. any other asset with a 75% drop would be an instant SELL. conviction deployment plans dont move price
HOLD rating with that kind of drawdown feels generous. NEAR needs to prove the 35k deployment actually generates revenue not just activity
76% drawdown from 8.24 and they rate it HOLD. the 35k deployment plan is either conviction or sunk cost cope. honestly cant tell anymore
Bagration K. calling it sunk cost cope is harsh but 76% drawdown HOLD ratings are how you end up bagholding to zero. the 200d golden cross is the only thing that gives this any legitimacy
