ADX 59 on ZEC is a monster trend but no way im chasing 8% off the 1651 high. would rather wait for a retest of the low 1200s
retest of the 50d at 922 would be a near 40% dump, that MA is miles below price. 760 support is the level that matters if this rolls over
exactly, 760 is the real line if this rolls over. with ADX that strong even a dip into the low 1200s would be a gift for the last tranche, not a 40% flush
a retest of the low 1200s might simply never come on a trend this steep. missed entries are the tax you pay for riding coins up 4x
retest crowd has been waiting since 1100. ADX 59 trends reward the impatient, the 1200s might just never come back
DCA 4 buys at +942% absolutely destroying lump sum +267% is the most underrated part of this whole ZEC analysis
makes sense when you think about it, that mid year dip is where the 4 tranches ate cheap. timing beats conviction sometimes
dca beating lump sum by 3x on a coin that went nearly straight up is wild. lump sum usually crushes it in trends, that mid year dip did all the work
right?? everyone preaches lump sum statistically wins and then ZEC hands dca a 3x edge because of one mid year dip. luck dressed up as strategy
manual dip buying on a vertical chart is how people end up with two entries and zero discipline. the mid year dip was tranche 3 doing its job
two entries and zero discipline is my portfolio review in one line. tranche 3 is the only reason im still green on this thing
3x edge from one dip is luck, fine. but four tranches is the mechanism that forces you to actually buy that dip. discipline borrows luck and calls it strategy
four tranches only works if you actually honor the drawdown alerts tho. most people disable them after the second fill
1y low 24.51 to 1512 now lol. whoever held ZEC from the 2024 bottom is both a millionaire and completely insane
insane is right, i sold most of mine around 200. refuse to calculate what that cost me
HIGH conviction with 10 bull and 0 bear factors is exactly when mean reversion shows up uninvited. RSI 64.3 is fine today, next week is the question
mean reversion after a 267% year is always the fear but ADX 59 says fuel is left. 760 is my line, below that the whole stage 2 story changes
760 was the march shelf before the vertical leg, makes sense as the line. but 4x moves rarely gift a clean retest, half now and half at 922 is the compromise
760 gang here too. ADX 59 trends stay irrational longer than my margin lasts, not chasing 1512 eight percent off the high
35k deployed into ZEC of all things in 2026. bold. following this trade
24.51 to 1512 inside a year and the timeline still pretends ZEC doesn’t exist. privacy coins are quietly the best trade of 2026
quietly is doing a lot of work in that sentence lol. delisting risk is the one thing that ends the privacy trade overnight and nobody prices it
this. one major exchange delisting ZEC and the privacy premium reprices overnight, no chart level saves you from a press release
been saying this since the 1651 rejection. privacy coins dont die on RSI readings, they die on a friday delisting email
35k across four tranches into a coin that already did 60x, brave. still, shielded pool volume is actually backing this move so maybe the plan is saner than it looks
the privacy trade ends by press release, not by chart. RSI 64.3 with delisting risk means i take profits on the way up and dont apologize
