RSI 85, 2% below the 1180 high, and somehow 10 bull factors and 0 bear. that zero is doing a lot of work here
Trend systems hold until the RSI filter pukes them out, they would rather give back the top than sell strength early. Has burned me shorting strong tape before too.
yeah RSI filters on thin coins just whip you out and back in at worse prices. the +3094% vs +1355% gap says it all
the zero bear factors thing is template stuff, every one of these reads says hold after a 40x. still rather hold zec than basically any other alt tho
ZEC went from 24 bucks to 1165 in like a year and my group chat ignored it the whole way up. privacy coins eating finally
+3094% buy and hold vs +1355% for the strategy. sometimes the winning move is turning your brain off and holding lol
turning your brain off works great until the one time it doesnt. ask anyone who held through a 70% privacy coin drawdown
zec from 24 to 1165 in a year and people still call privacy coins dead lmao
RSI at 85 and the call is hold? love zec as much as anyone but that number says the easy money already happened
^ this. 10 bull factors dont mean much when they all basically say its already up 2000%. waiting for that 466 support test
