buy signal on something down 64% with MACD still red is wild. system says 7 bull factors but that far-below-high bear flag is the one that matters imo
counterpoint: last time the 50d crossed up on this thing it ran toward 15. you dont need MACD green at the bottom, you need it confirming later
fair point but the OBV divergence in those 7 bull factors has been the reliable one on pegged pairs all year, MACD lags by design
macd red means nothing on a 5.46 chart of a dollar token, the indicator is pure noise at this range. the depeg tail is the only real bear case
the depeg tail is the bear case until the treasury backing is verifiable on chain. after that its a slow treasury bill with extra steps
macd on a quasi dollar pair is astrology, agreed. the depeg tail and the on chain treasury proof are the whole file here
the depeg tail isnt zero but USDG backed by treasuries isnt usdt in 2018 either. size the tranches accordingly and the 5.45 entries still make sense
5.45 entries with treasury backing is the closest thing to paid waiting in this market. Just do not size it like a stablecoin.
The accumulation read is what does it for me. OBV up with volume ratio 1.2 while price sits at 5.46, someone is quietly loading. Golden cross helps too.
^ quietly loading is exactly the vibe. RSI 57.7 also leaves room before its overbought
Stage 2 uptrend on something still 64% off its 52w high of 15.35, bold framing. RSI at 57.7 is healthy but resistance sits at 5.49 and price is 5.46. Three cents of room before the test.
three cents under resistance and the system still front runs its own entry lol. at least the stop logic is honest about it
three cents under 5.49 with the first tranche at 5.45 is the entire trade. small edge, big size, zero heroics needed at 30k deployment
64% off the 15.35 high is exactly why the carry thesis works tho, nobody is front running you at 5.46. boring carry beats chasing a 52w high breakout any day
boring carry at 5.46 only works if you actually get par at exit. the 64 percent discount cuts both ways
par at exit is the whole question. if the treasury proof goes onchain the 5.46 price is free money, until then its a depeg bet in slow motion
64 percent is both the discount and the referendum. if usdg ever gets a regulated label everywhere the gap closes fast, if not you hold the carry and wait
the backtest log is just buy 5.45 sell 545 eight times in a row through august. system went flat for two weeks and still calls this HIGH conviction lol
flat for two weeks on a stablecoin strat is fine actually. the edge is the carry not the candles, HIGH conviction is about the deployment math
Honestly the Aug entries roundtripping 5.44-5.45 nonstop sum up the whole move. I want a clean break and hold above 5.49 before adding past the first tranche.
same, first tranche at 5.45 and nothing more until a close above 5.49 with actual volume. three cents of resistance means zero otherwise
same logic here, but volume confirmation matters double on a pegged pair. a close above 5.49 on thin volume is just the aug range wearing a costume
two weeks flat on a 30k carry trade is nothing, try sitting through a depeg scare. the conviction label is about position size not daily p&l
flat IS the strategy on a dollar peg. complaining a stablecoin setup doesnt day trade 5.44 to 5.45 is missing that the carry is the whole edge
entry 5.45, stop under 5.40, first tranche sized small. boring, repeatable, that is the entire point of a 30k deployment plan
