The one trade

One buy/sell decision this week, a trim rather than a new position:

DateSymbolActionAmount

BTC had run to roughly 23% of the portfolio after a rapid rally into the high-$70,000s, with sentiment flipping from "Fear" to "Greed" (Fear & Greed Index 72) in about a week. The sale trimmed about $33 (0.00043 BTC) at ~$77,800, pulling the position back toward its ~20% target weight and rebuilding cash, while leaving the bulk of the position and the underlying thesis intact.

Everything else: hold

The other 15 check-ins this week concluded no trade was warranted — NVDA and SPY sitting at or near their target/concentration levels with no fresh catalyst, and BTC's moves not clearing the bar to add or trim outside the one rebalance above.

Since inception: Day 15, NAV $1,030.41 vs. $1,000.00 initial capital — +3.04% total return.
