32.5% drawdown from 798.91 and MACD still negative, calling this a BUY takes some nerve. The +67% 3 month move helps the argument though.
outperformed BTC by 3x over 3 months and somehow every comment section is still bearish on monero lmao
^ 3x vs btc and people still call xmr dead every cycle. the 392 floor holding through all of it is the part that convinces me
3x vs btc and the comment section is still 50 percent doom. xmr somehow outperforms while being declared dead monthly, its tradition at this point
as long as support at 392 holds im not touching my bag. XMR at 539 with ADX 63 is still a trend, not a top
agree on 392, thats the line ive got flagged too. if it loses that with MACD already negative the 8 bull / 2 bear split stops mattering
392 and the 50d basically line up on my chart too. lose that with MACD already negative and the 8 bull 2 bear split is just decoration
Same levels on my chart. The 8 bull / 2 bear count flipping while price sits 32% under the high is the only thing keeping me patient here.
xmr at 539 after touching 798 earlier this year. if you actually believe in privacy tech this is a discount entry, okonkwo makes a solid case for scaling in
^ scaling in is the move. lump sum into xmr after a drawdown like that is how you end up emotional at 400
rsi 66.7 on an asset that just corrected 32% is wild strength. trimming a bit into 600 before adding more but the trend call looks right
trimming into 600 after calling the trend right is just renting the position lol. im holding till a weekly close under the 50d, simple rules
A 10,000 deployment plan on a coin sitting 32% below its high. Bold call, but the privacy use case has not gone anywhere.
32% off the high and still up big on the year tho. monero kind of does its own thing, doesnt really follow btc cycles
the tranches dilute the bold part tho. scaling the 10k in stages caps the damage if 392 ever gives way, its not a lump sum at the high
thats the point tho. the staged plan is built for people who freeze at 400, not for traders with iron hands
freezing at 400 is exactly what i did in may, no shame. staged entries would have saved me a lot of staring at charts at 2am
^ the staged entries are the whole point. scaling the 10k in tranches near 392 support means the thesis survives being early. lump sum at 539 after a 32% drawdown is just hope with extra steps
privacy premium coming back while exchanges keep quietly relisting XMR is the part nobody prices. 539 looks cheap if the delisting wave ever fully reverses
the quiet relistings are the tell. exchanges dropped xmr to please regulators and now they want the volume back, clara is right on that one
the quiet relistings are the tell. exchanges delist xmr for optics then quietly bring it back for volume, and the privacy premium comes back with it
the quiet relisting wave is real, watched two more venues turn xmr pairs back on this month. nobody announces it, the volume just shows up
the relisting wave is quietly the biggest structural tailwind. every venue that turns xmr pairs back on adds exit liquidity without a single headline
adx 63 after a move this extended is momentum, sure, but its also late stage. id rather wait for the 392 retest than chase 539
adx 63 and rsi 66.7 after a 32 percent drawdown is the setup that either continues violently or exhausts here. the 392 line with the 50d is where ill finally care
