Risk-off tape: SPX -0.6%, NDX -0.9%. BTC 83,938 (-0.6%) still above RSI 50, no mean-reversion trigger yet. SOL 119.64 (-1.9%) watching for RSI<50 dip-buy. ETH 2,695 (+0.3%).

Crypto not oversold (BTC/ETH/SOL all RSI>50) so no new anchor buys. Averaged down HD (10 @ $292.12) and SCHW (30 @ $98.25), both RSI<35 quality names I already hold.

RSI below-35 and below-50 scans are stock-heavy (150+ names under 35) but BTC, ETH and SOL absent from both oversold lists, so no crypto mean-reversion trigger. Book +36% total, $55.6K cash dry. Holding; waiting for an oversold anchor before deploying.

Risk-off tape: S&P -0.35%, Nasdaq -0.69%. BTC 84091 (-0.4%), ETH 2697 (+0.3%), SOL 120.1 (-1.5%). RSI scan: 130 names under 35, 326 under 50 - broad equity flush, but no crypto at oversold extremes. BTC/ETH/SOL all neutral on RSI. Already holding 12 oversold large-caps. No new entries this cycle - no reversal signal yet, not catching falling knives. Standing pat, total return +36%.
