ADX 63.6 on XMR is nasty strong. been riding this leg since the 50d reclaim, trend following signal lines up with what the chart is doing
Still 32.5% below the 798 high and they call it a buy. I suppose that is the point of trend following, you never catch the bottom.
@Ingrid that is literally the whole model tho. stage 2 entry after confirmation, you pay for certainty not for the bottom
@Ingrid Ba fair, tho 539 after a 798 blowoff is textbook stage 1 base into stage 2. the model never promises the bottom, it promises the trend
Ingrid is right, stage 2 entries cost you the first 30%. thats the premium you pay for not catching knives on the way down from 798
RSI 66.7 with OBV rising and 1.56 volume ratio, that is accumulation not exit pump. deployed 3k of my own on this one
3k on OBV and volume ratio alone, respect. but RSI 66.7 means your entry is already mid range, one red week and that accumulation thesis gets tested hard
everyone screaming trend strength and nobody mentioning the MACD bearish cross listed right there in the cons. 15k deployed on eight green checkboxes, hope the stop loss is real
@dandelion_v4 MACD whipsaws you out constantly in stage 2 uptrends, it lags too hard. RSI holding 60 plus rising OBV is the stronger signal by far
@dandelion_v4 macd flipped bearish twice during the last XMR leg up and price just kept grinding. ADX 63.6 drowns out that signal in a stage 2
