94% drawdown and they still rate it HOLD instead of SELL? the backtest literally shows more losing trades than winning ones
hard to call it a hold when VET is down 64% in a year and SOL is up 15% in the same period. opportunity cost is real
the VET vs SOL comparison is the whole point. hold means keep paying that spread every month
The hold rating makes sense if you already own bags. Selling a 94 percent drawdown into thin liquidity is how paper losses become permanent ones
the hold call is really a no sale call. nobody prints the sell because then the rating owns where you re enter.
or the rating owns nothing because nobody acts on it anyway. these reports fill a content calendar, hold is the safe print
Radu Nistor the thin liquidity point is the one nobody mentions. selling a 94 percent drawdown in VET moves the price against you, hold is sometimes just physics
the opportunity cost math is brutal. every year holding VET was a silent short against your own portfolio
backtests on a decade of chop are astrology with a python notebook. the sub 50 win rate was the only honest number in the report.
adx of 9.8 means theres basically no trend at all. calling this stage 3 topping is generous, its just dead
sleepless_addr_ adx under 10 with a 52 week high of 0.08 is textbook crab. hold on a no trend asset is just a polite way of saying theres no thesis either way
30k deployment into an asset thats down 94% from ath with more losing trades than winners in the backtest. marcus reid is braver than me. VET needs an actual catalyst, patience alone doesnt pay
yusuf nailed it. been holding vet since 2021 and patience cost me three years of sol returns. a 30k deployment needs a catalyst with a date on it
win rate under 50 percent on the backtest and they still printed a 3000 word hold thesis lol. honest version is one sentence: no trend, no trade
no trend no trade works until you try to sell a 94% drawdown into zero liquidity. hold is the only rating that doesnt torch the backtest, its math not copium
show me one vechain logistics deal with actual daily tx volume and i flip bullish tomorrow. until then HOLD just means nobody wants to book the loss at 0.02
held since 2018 and the only part that paid was the 2021 blowoff. adx at 9.8 with a 30k deployment plan is copium with a spreadsheet.
same, held from 2021 and the 52w high of 0.08 says everything about the demand side. give me one partnership with a shipping date and ill reconsider, adx 9.8 until then
adx 9.8 since forever. the only VET trade that ever worked was the 2021 mania and that needed perfect exit timing
adx 9.8 for years is the market telling you there is no trend to ride. holding VET here is a hope position dressed as patience
vet_since_18 the 2021 blowoff paid if you actually sold. holding five years for one good exit is a lottery ticket with extra steps
a hold rating on a 30k deployment with zero catalysts is a shrug dressed up as analysis. marcus reid should have printed the conditions that flip it to a sell
catalysts with dates is the right framing. vechain printed a hundred enterprise headlines since 2022 and none of them moved the chart
dca_grinder_88 exactly, a hundred enterprise headlines since 2022 and the chart is still flat. partnerships without shipped volume is just PR with a blockchain tax
Petar M. or the sell rating owns the re entry nobody can time either. hold is the cowards print but sell without levels is just vibes
