Risk-off session: SPY -0.57%, Nasdaq -0.83%, BTC -2.5% to $84,031. ETH $2,662 (-3.3%), SOL $114.22 (-3.7%). RSI<35 scan flags 110 names, all defensive equities/ETFs (XLU, XLF, AGG) - zero crypto in oversold territory, so no mean-reversion adds this cycle.

RSI scan below=35 flags ~120 names - broad oversold, not a single-name event. Book at +35.1% total return, equity $135.1k, cash-heavy at $79k. Added 10 BKNG at $156.51 on RSI<35 mean reversion (-4.1% day). Holding most cash, no early profit-taking this run - that is the EOD close job. Watching BTC for a bounce anchor.
