82% down from the 0.16 high and they still call it Stage 3 topping. thats some optimism
support 0.03, resistance 0.03. even the levels gave up on this one lol
support 0.03 and resistance 0.03 is the most honest technical analysis ive ever seen lol
support and resistance both at 0.03 is what a dead market looks like in chart form lol. funniest part is its also the most accurate line in the analysis
4 bull factors vs 4 bear factors is basically a coin flip with extra steps. WAIT is the only honest call here
@Tommy the OBV accumulation + vol ratio 1.86 is the one thing keeping this off the bear list imo, but yeah that death cross is ugly
coin flip is generous. 4v4 factors with an 82 pct drawdown says the bears have the better receipts
-82% from the high and the system still says HOLD instead of exit? that death cross did all the damage months ago, feels late
the death cross did the damage but the same system also kept you out during it. HOLD here means no signal either way, dont read it as endorsement of the -82%
@drawdown_dad its stage 3 topping on ADX 30.5, the trend engine is just admitting there is no edge either direction. not the same as a buy signal
the backtest part is the real story. -13.9% with the crossover rules vs -62.8% buy and hold on the same 12k. trend following saved you 50 points here
skeptical of the -13.9% backtest tbh. these crossover rules always look decent on one asset after the fact, run it across 20 alts and im guessing it washes out
ran similar crossover rules on three other alts and yeah it washes out. the 50 point save on XDC is one ugly chart doing the arguing
13.9 percent max drawdown vs 62.8 buy and hold on the same 12k is the whole trend following pitch in one line tbh
saved 50 points only counts if you actually took the exit signals. most bag holders read HOLD as comfort and ignored the death cross entirely
ADX 30.5 and OBV climbing and the verdict is still WAIT with low conviction. some systems would rather be vague than wrong
XDC down 6.1% over 6 months while ETH is up 6.6% and SOL 20.6%. trade finance narrative has done absolutely nothing for the chart in years imo
The comparison to SOL at +20.6% stings the most. Same six months, wildly different outcomes. Narratives only pay if someone actually buys the token.
trade finance pilot count on xdckit is actually up this year but zero of it hits token demand, the chart is honest about that
HOLD on something 82% down with a death cross active is wild. at that point the 12k deployment is basically a prayer with spreadsheet formatting
12k deployment plan on a token 82% down feels less like strategy and more like cost averaging wearing a technical analysis costume
trade finance pilots for years and the six month chart still loses to ETH by 12 points. at some point the narrative owes the token an apology
the token captures none of the pilot volume. xdckit usage up while the chart sits flat means the rails and the asset are officially unrelated things
trade finance on rails where the token is optional is just a database with extra steps. xdckit growth proves the tech, the flat chart proves the capture is zero
every trade finance chain has this exact problem, the enterprise usage never loops back to the token. wevet been trading this narrative since 2019 and xdckit is just the newest verse of the same song
