63.8% off the high and the 200d holding all year is the last bull case standing. everything else on that chart is bleeding
2 bull vs 6 bear and people will still ape the 15k plan lol. system says wait, listen to it
XRP down 63.8% from 3.65 and RSI only at 42? That tells me the selling is not exhausted yet. Patience is the trade here.
Started a small position at 1.32 against my better judgment. The 50d falling is the part I keep going back to. Trend systems exist so you do not fight that.
the falling 50d is the whole argument honestly. catching it early just means bagholding through months of chop
gold cross barely holding while everything else bleeds, 0.77 volume ratio… volume is telling the real story here
been dcaing xrp since 2.80. dont ask how the average looks. adding more at 1.32 out of spite at this point
adding at 1.32 out of spite is the most honest dca strategy ive ever read. from a 2.80 average, respect the commitment lol
