adx 39 on monero is basically a holiday. this thing goes vertical on 2m of volume the second a privacy narrative catches fire again
vertical on 2m of volume also means vertical down. the privacy narrative cuts both ways the second another exchange announcement drops
554 down from a 798 high and the call is BUY with a full 10k deployment. respect the conviction, thats a 30% drawdown youre catching
^ whoever said 30% drawdown, its monero, half that chart is thin volume anyway lol. tailwinds are real tho
thin volume cuts both ways tho. one decent bid and xmr gaps 15% on nothing, seen it twice since 2021
the gap risk cuts both ways tbh. same thin book that rips 15 percent on one bid also means sellers cant all fit through the door at once
and that same thin book means your stop loss is decorative on the gap. position size is the only risk tool that actually works on xmr
the 15 percent gap on one bid is exactly why the 10k plan should be three entries, not one. work the book instead of donating spread
half the chart being thin volume is doing a lot of work in that sentence lol. the 50d and 200d both rising with adx at 39 is the actual signal, not the 554 print
xmr at 554 feels fair tbh. privacy premium comes back every single cycle, question is just whether you can sit through the bleed
10k into one privacy coin is wild. i run xmr at like 8% of my bag and thought that was aggressive
8% is sensible but xmr is the one bag that outlived every exchange that delisted it. sizing up in the boring months is how the old heads played it
10k into one coin is a lot but xmr is the one bag where concentration kinda makes sense, its correlation to everything else is basically zero
bled since may on my end and still green overall. the trick is buying the boring months not the pump candles
bled since may and still green overall is exactly it. xmr rewards the people who buy when nothing is happening, the 554 club stays quiet for a reason
it came back after every delisting wave since 2021 too. kraken cutting it barely dented the chart two quarters later. the bleed is the entry, always has been on this one
ADX at 39 with a fresh golden cross is about as clean a Stage 2 setup as Monero ever shows. I would scale in rather than deploy the full 10k at 554 though.
scaling in beats lump sum at 554, especially with the book this thin. half now, half if the golden cross holds through next week
scaling in at 554 only works if the book lets you out. xmr trades like a midcap on a bad day, size the exits not just the entries
half now half later crew checking in. worked through two delisting waves already, doubt this is the cycle it stops working
scaling in is the only sane read. a 554 entry on 2m of daily volume is a suggestion, not a market
adx 39 with a fresh golden cross and the privacy premium still unwound from the delisting seasons. buying the boring months is how people actually made money on this one
798 down to 554 with a fresh golden cross, classic xmr setup. the 10k plan is aggressive but this is the one asset that outlived every delisting season
trend signal is fine but 10k into an asset doing 2m daily volume ignores the exit. your stop loss on a thin book is a suggestion, size the position like the liquidity is real
798 to 554 with a fresh golden cross is the classic xmr base. a 10k lump on a book doing 2m a day is bold, three entries makes more sense
