32.5% drawdown from the 798 high and MACD negative, yet BUY with high conviction? i hold XMR but this feels like hopium
8 bull vs 2 bear factors, price above both MAs, golden cross intact. the 2 bear factors are exactly why entry is decent instead of near the top
high conviction just means the signal fired, not that a deeper drawdown is impossible. id still size smaller here at 32% off the 798 high
XMR +63% over 3 months while BTC did +21%. the privacy premium is real, never understood why people sleep on it
+63% in 3 months and people still sleep on it. exchanges keep delisting XMR, thats the only reason the premium isnt bigger
buying 539 with the golden cross intact and MACD still negative, at least the invalidation is clean. adding on dips under 520 personally
