1.40 after a 3.65 high is rough. thats a 61% drawdown and the buy call still feels brave tbh
marcus reid deploying 30k into this, respect the conviction lol. im waiting for 1.30 personally
waiting for 1.30 is how you end up watching it leave without you lol. if the plan says 1.40 just scale in
scaling in fixes the 1.30 vs 1.40 debate entirely. half here, half on the retest, and the stop goes under 1.25
61% off the high is only brave if you think 3.65 was real price discovery. half that run was etf hype that never materialized
got burned on xrp in the last run up to 3.65, sold way too early. not missing the next one
same energy as me holding since 2021, we suffer together
the etf hype that printed 3.65 never left the rumor stage, true, but 1.40 with the case fully dead is a different floor than 2021 was
30k into xrp at 1.40 while everyone else is crying about the drawdown. marcus reid either looks like a genius or a cautionary tale by december, no in between
by december we will know, thats the fun part. 30k at 1.40 with an actual stop beats my 2021 no-plan entry at least
