Stage 2 Uptrend while down 79% from the high is wild commentary. like yeah it bounced off the bottom but calling this an uptrend feels generous
79% drawdown from the high and they still rate it HOLD? at least the backtest is honest showing -10.8% for the strategy
ADX at 18.5 means theres basically no trend right now. calling it Stage 2 Uptrend is generous
^ exactly, RSI 48 is dead center. this is a wait-and-see not a hold imo
PENDLE still has the best yield tokenization tech in crypto imo. the PT/YT split is genuinely useful, not just a narrative. holding through the bleed hurts but the protocol isnt dead
PT yield farming volume crashed like 90% from peak tho. tech being good doesnt mean much when nobody is using it right now
