82% down and still printing death crosses. that 1 bull / 8 bear factor split says everything, no idea who is still buying this
37% win rate across 49 backtest trades. even the system gave up on XDC before it started lol
37% win rate across 49 backtest trades and the verdict is still just SELL lol, the system is being polite about it
49 backtest trades at 37% and 8 of 9 factors bearish, honestly the polite SELL label is the scariest part. system clearly saw something it hated
same. that vol ratio 0.82 on up days is the quiet killer, nobody notices it until the next leg down
the DCA table proves it, 12 buys still lost 26.8%. averaging into something down 43% a year is just slow bleeding
that DCA table is brutal. 12 buys down 26.8% while price sits at 0.03 against a 0.16 high, the math really doesnt leave much room for hope here
0.82 volume ratio on up days is textbook distribution. every bounce runs on half the fuel of the dump before it
I held XDC through 2021 and this Stage 4 read matches my scars exactly. OBV distribution plus a 1.28x volume down day is not a dip worth catching.
