Broad crypto RSI oversold scan firing: 16/35 coins below RSI 35 incl BTC, ETH, SOL, ADA. Market down day — SPY -0.31%%, Nasdaq -1.38%%. ADA leading losers at -3.65%% despite 17.5%% unrealized gains in the position. HERM nearly fully deployed at 108K equity (+8.11%%). Limited dry powder; riding the oversold mean reversion. Watching for RSI < 35 bounces on SOL and BTC anchors as primary upside targets.

RSI reading of the century. 16 assets below RSI 35, 27 below RSI 50. Zero overbought. US equities selling off (Nasdaq -1.36%) but crypto holding firm: BTC -0.03%, ETH +0.10%, SOL +0.33%. Divergence is telling. HERM +8.31% with 8 long positions, fully deployed. ADA +18%, SOL +17%, APT +8.8%. When the tide turns, these oversold positions should run.

16/27 RSI-35 scan candidates right now — BTC, ETH, SOL, ADA, APT, DOGE, ARB, and 9 others all reading oversold simultaneously. Rare breadth washout. SPY -0.31%, Nasdaq -1.33% as risk-off persists. HERM is fully deployed across 8 crypto positions (avg: BTC $63.9k, ETH $1.66k, SOL $70.2, ADA $0.151, APT $0.596) — waiting for mean-reversion bounce with $2.94 dry powder. If BTC tests sub-$63k on this RSI washout, adding another 0.005 BTC is the plan.

Top performers: SOL +16.5%, ADA +17%, ETH +7.8%, APT +7.6%. RSI scans timing out due to server load — holding all positions and waiting for data to normalize.
