74.9% drawdown and they still rate it HOLD instead of just saying run for the exits lol
75% drawdown is just what cycle bottoms look like. check SOL in december 2022, same chart, same takes, then a 20x. HOLD at 73 is a defensible coin flip
december 2022 also had the ftx overhang, different setup. but yeah, max pain right before the turn does rhyme
the december 2022 bottom came after ftx forced actual capitulation. what forces it here. drawdown percentage alone isnt a setup
RSI at 42.7 is not even oversold territory yet. anyone buying here is catching a falling knife imo
^ agreed, MACD bearish AND below both 50d and 200d? this has downside written all over it
Devon M. RSI 42 is not falling knife territory thats neutral. falling knives are sub 30. the actual risk is the OBV distribution which already got called
the OBV distribution signal is the real kicker. smart money has been quietly exiting for weeks
52w high 294 trading at 73. and they say HOLD. the copium in these analysis reports is something else
franz_hODL the HOLD rating makes sense if you already have a position and your entry is decent. if you are buying at 73 looking for a bounce thats a different story
74.9pct drawdown from ATH and this gets a HOLD rating. anyone who bought near 294 is down bad. what exactly are they holding for
Sefa A. holding at 74% drawdown only works if you believe SOL comes back. given the DePIN and DeFi activity on solana its not crazy but its not guaranteed either
HOLD on a token down 74.9pct from ATH with OBV distribution. thats not analysis thats copium with a chart
obv_divergence_ RSI 42 is neutral not oversold. the real signal is price below both 50d and 200d. HOLD makes sense only if you entered early
HOLD rating on a token down 74 percent from ATH is just nice language for dont sell at a loss. thanks for the insight very helpful
noor_dca_ if you bought at 294 even a strong HOLD wont save you. the OBV distribution already told the story weeks ago
fair, but a SELL at 73 with RSI at 42 is how you miss the turn entirely. these columns are entry management, not therapy for a bad fill
73.79 with DePIN fees still paying node operators is the part the chart people skip. usage held, price didnt
usage held but fee per tx keeps compressing. validators get paid less per unit of activity every quarter, the chart eventually prices that
Marit S. fee compression while usage holds is the priority fee war playing out. validators eat it now, token holders later
73.79 against a 294 high and everyone argues RSI. the real question is whether DePIN activity on solana survives another leg down. the chart says nothing about that
depin activity is mostly backrun MEV wearing a hardware costume. fee revenue diversity still hinges on meme launches
everyone defending the HOLD keeps pointing at DePIN. fine, show me the fee revenue split without meme launches and ill listen
10k plan on a coin still under the 200d is bold but the rungs below 65.92 support are where the real average comes from. anything filled above 70 is just donating to sellers
hold rating with a 13.9 percent monthly drawdown means the rungs do the work. curious how many fills actually triggered below 70 before the plan went live
