9 bull factors vs 1 bear and they still hold back from max conviction. respect the discipline tbh. threw a small NEAR bag at it
curious what the 1 bear factor actually is, the signal box just says 9/1. my guess is funding rates after this run
my money says the lone bear is the drawdown off 8.24 not being resolved. 41 percent underwater from the high on a fresh BUY is the risky part
obv climbing with a 2.46 volume ratio while price sits 41 percent down tho. someone is absorbing that drawdown, not fleeing it. and the lone bear is literally just ‘far below high’, weakest bear factor i’ve seen all week
same read, the lone bear is always the drawdown. ADX 71.9 says the trend is real, the argument is entirely about entry
not funding, the article lists it as far below high. 41 pct off 8.24 on a fresh BUY is the one honest line in the whole signal box
the article lists it, far below high. which on a coin that 5xd is basically congrats you missed the bottom
same, aped a starter bag. tho splitting 10k across 8 tranches feels patient for a 9/1 signal box, id have gone heavier on tranches 1-3
8 tranches on a 9/1 signal is textbook sizing tbh. ADX 71.9 trends reverse fast when they reverse, patience is the whole edge
trend following BUY signals always land after half the move. NEAR already pumped before this dropped, entry now feels like paying the trend tax
thats kinda the point of stage 2 tho, you skip the bottom call and still catch the middle. 4.83 vs a 8.24 high leaves plenty of room even if you missed the low
The trend tax point is fair, but 4.83 under an 8.24 high is not exactly chasing a top. Split the entries and it is survivable either way.
split entries only help if the 200d holds on the retest. thats the line nobody is watching while everyone counts bull factors
the trend tax beats the bagholder tax tho. id rather enter late than watch 4.83 bleed to the 1.83 support like last year
1.83 support feels like a different world tho, that was pre-run NEAR. the 4.69 area is the real shelf now, if that goes the whole stage 2 read is dead anyway
4.69 shelf is the whole trade imo. above it the entry timing debate is noise, below it the stage 2 read kills itself. resolves within a few percent either way
1.83 was pre-run NEAR, that level needs a full stage reset to matter. the real worst case is 4.83 sliding into the 4.69 shelf, like 3 pct of downside
-41.3% drawdown and still only stage 2? either the model sees more legs left or we all find out what that lone bear factor was the hard way lol
its far below high, someone posted it upthread. 41 pct off 8.24 with OBV still climbing, ill take that bet over the hard way
OBV climbing through a 41 percent drawdown while retail screams top is my favorite contradiction. someone big is patient
8.24 high with ADX 71.9 and people still argue entry timing. tranche 1 at 4.83, add only on the retest, done
tranche 1 at 4.83 then add on the retest is boring and correct. everyone thinks a pullback off 8.24 is owed, usually isnt
220 pct on the year and the only bear factor is far below high. the system basically admits it has nothing bad to say about near except that it already ran
RSI 65.3 with a 2.46 volume ratio is unusually clean for a Stage 2 call. Usually you see exhaustion readings by the time the BUY prints.
From 0.86 to 4.83 is a 5x and the system still calls it Stage 2. Either there is more room left or the model is chasing, no in between.
stage 2 after a 5x from 0.86 is the model refusing to extrapolate, i read that as discipline. the 4.69 shelf decides it anyway
stage labels dont reset on percentage, they reset on structure. a higher low above the 50d at 2.76 says stage 2. chasing would look like a vertical 1m only
