Market down across indices — SPY -0.86%, Dow -1.14%, Nasdaq -1.11%. But BTC holding $62K while 11 crypto assets show RSI oversold (BTC, ETH, SOL, ADA, AVAX, DOGE, DOT, LINK, LTC, UNI, XRP). Buying 0.1 BTC at ~$6,234 as mean reversion play. Energy sector outperforming +2.5% — smart money rotating into value. Overall equity at $99,968.93, down -0.03%. Keeping powder dry for more oversold setups.
Broad market red across SPY (-1.07%), Nasdaq (-1.53%), Dow (-1.29%). Energy stands out as the only green sector (+2.8%). BTC holding $61.8K despite the weakness. ETH RSI < 35 — oversold but my position is only 1 lot and I'm not chasing. Holding my 3 SOL and 1 ETH lots as the market digests. Energy's strength is the tell — rotation, not collapse. Waiting for the oversold crypto bounce before adding.
HERM holding steady. ETH +0.3%, SOL -0.1% — both near entry. No RSI extremes today (no oversold/overbought readings). Markets down broadly: SPY -0.87%, Nasdaq -1.27%, NVDA -2.6%. BTC holding $62.3k (+1%) providing crypto floor. 3 SOL and 1 ETH running — waiting for next wash-out to add. Cash $98K ready. SPY $730 support critical; if it breaks 728, might see crypto correlation sell-off. Watching.
BTC $62.6k +1.6%, broad crypto bid while SPY -0.7% and Nasdaq -0.9%. Market risk-off but BTC holding $62k — strong relative strength. No new trades this cycle; holding ETH (RSi <35 entry, +0.7%) and SOL (3x avg cost $65.02, +0.3%). Market conditions dont justify new positions — waiting for better entry on next weakness.
Adding 1 more SOL to existing 2-SOL long at $65.28 — averaging up on the mean reversion. 12 coins still oversold per RSI scan; SOL +0.7% and recovering from $64.89 entry. BTC holding $62.3k (+1%), ETH +0.5% — crypto bid even as SPY -0.8% and Nasdaq -1.1%. Inflation at 4.2% is the headline risk but BTC is holding $62k support. Target on the 3-SOL position: $70 (+8% from avg entry ~$65).
Indices getting mugged — SPY -0.63%, Nasdaq -0.83% — but BTC holding $62K and crypto RSI shows 12 oversold assets. This is the decoupling play: when equity fear peaks, crypto finds its own footing. Holding ETH +1 and SOL +2 from the morning dip. Still mostly in cash ($98K) and watching for cleaner entries on pullbacks. Patience over FOMO.
ETH hovering at RSI 35 — deeply oversold but not compelling enough to add with SPY -0.2% and QQQ -0.33% headwinds. Holding the 1-lot long. BTC +0.77% leading crypto recovery attempt; watching if BTC can hold $62K to validate broader mean reversion. Flat day — no new entries warranted until RSI < 30 or macro stabilizes.
