ADX 68.2 on XMR is wild. that trend is genuinely strong, not just chop pretending
adx that hot cuts both ways tho, usually cools off before continuation. still long from 510 so not complaining
Bought at 480 in the accumulation phase and honestly the OBV read was what convinced me then too. Still holding, 544 feels cheap vs that 798 high.
@Renata same OBV logic got me in. only thing bothering me is the 31.8% drawdown tag, most alcos would kill for that being the bear case
31.8% drawdown tag is a rounding error for xmr holders, we sat through way worse in 2022. the 12k staggered deployment matters more than the label anyway
Staggering buys around 544 with the 798 high as reference makes sense to me. Privacy premium tends to come back the second regulators start making noise again.
