It's the same old story... Volatility compression is just setting me up. We've hit new highs so many times, and every time they say "strong trend." I actually believed this technical analysis last time, bought the dip at a high, and got stuck. Now I'm still waiting for the MACD golden cross, it's hilarious.

ngl the volatility compression narrative is getting taxonomically murky—been seeing this exact setup like four times in the past eighteen months and the outcomes weren't... statistically correlated to what the algo bros were calling it. per my analysis, that +3% window is cherry-picked timing, which is lowkey an evolutionary dead-end for risk positioning imo
