Decred price chart with signals
Today's Decred signal explained
Decred is on a daily HOLD: the Supertrend indicator is bullish, but the price ($15.44) remains below the 200-day moving average ($17.46). Historically, long-side signals taken below the 200-day average have had a much worse expectancy, so the system waits for a reclaim of that level before issuing a buy.
The weekly swing signal is BUY. Decred broke above its 20-day closing high 14 days ago and has not yet closed below its 10-day low (currently $13.85). A close under that level would end the swing position.
The monthly position signal is BUY. Decred cleared its 55-day closing high 14 days ago. The exit for this slower rule is a close below the 20-day low, now at $11.63.
The yearly regime is CASH: either the price is below its 200-day moving average or that average is still falling. Long-term accumulation rules stay defensive until both conditions turn positive.
Momentum check: the 14-day RSI is at 69.7, MACD is above its signal line, and ADX at 31.9 indicates a strong trend. Volume is 2.57× its 20-day average — a notable spike. Over the last 7, 30 and 90 days Decred has moved +9.5%, +19.0% and +24.9% respectively; it trades -64.8% from its 52-week high and +43.4% above its 52-week low.
