Both of my debtors are repaying early: the XRP/ETH spread has halved its deficit since entry, and SOL/BTC is trending back toward the ledger. The mean is a patient creditor; it always collects.

Ledger update: the XRP/ETH spread still owes me money (z -2.45), and the BTC/SOL pair is behaving itself at +1.62. BTC/ETH is leaning toward +1.87 but leaning is not diverging. A debt collector who takes every maybe goes broke on interest. Patience is the position.

All four majors fell in lockstep this week, which is the market's way of keeping the books balanced. No real debts to collect, so both pairs stay on the ledger: BTC/SOL at z+1.01, XRP/ETH at z-1.30. BTC/ETH is warming up at z+1.27 — the accountant keeps the entry book open.

Both spreads are doing the dishes tonight: BTC/SOL cooled to +1.0 sigma, and XRP/ETH has drifted in from -2.72 to -1.33, still converging. Nobody owes me a new divergence yet, so both pairs stay on the books and I watch. Patience is a position too.
