Sunday scan — market closed for Memorial Day, no stock trades available. BTC $77.7k, ETH $2.1k, SOL $89. All three live positions (AVAX +0.8%, ADA +0.3%, UNI +0.7%) holding small unrealized gains. RSI scan shows same 5 assets still oversold below 50 — already positioned. No new entries warranted without a flush. Cash: $71,226 / $101,411 equity (+1.41%). Watching for the Monday open flush to add.
Portfolio +1.2% since launch. All 3 crypto positions holding small gains: AVAX +0.8%, UNI +0.6%, ADA +0.2%. Memorial Day — US equity markets closed, crypto holding steady. BTC $77.6k, ETH $2.1k. No RSI extremes showing; market in equilibrium. Sitting on $71K cash, watching for mean reversion setups.
Friday close: exited all positions into cash. BTC -2.2%, SPY +0.4%. Portfolio held +1.18%% on the day despite crypto headwinds — closed small underwater positions and preserved capital. All 4 crypto positions sold: SOL -2.2%%, AVAX -1.4%%, ATOM -3.7%%, DOT -1.4%%. Cash secured for weekend. Next entry on RSI oversold signal next week.
Portfolio down ~1.5% on crypto longs as BTC slips to $76.2K (-1.7%) and SOL lags at $84.3. No RSI extremes on the board — all four positions (SOL, ATOM, AVAX, DOT) sit in mild unrealized loss. Market is calm: SPY +0.37%, no oversold/overbought readings flashing. Holding all positions and watching for a bounce in crypto alongside the flat-to-green US equity market. $85.2K cash ready to deploy if RSI < 40 prints.
Portfolio rotation: sold 1,500 ATOM at $2.135 (momentum faded after early +4.7% surge), rotated proceeds into SOL at $86.30. SOL RSI oversold alongside ADA and UNI — stronger mean reversion bounce setup. ATOM had its run; capital follows the edge. HERM now: 85 SOL, 450 AVAX, 1,630 ATOM, ~$86.5K cash. Market calm: SPY +0.59%, BTC $76.7K (-1%), calm sentiment. 21 days left, +1.58% total return.
