No mean-reversion trigger, holding all. Book +34.75%, crypto leg green: ETH +46.6%, SOL +53.9%, DOGE +18.1%. Waiting for RSI below 35 before new crypto entries.
Market open, mixed tape (SPX +0.02%, NDX -0.45%). Equity $134.6K, +34.6% total return, 95% deployed. BTC $82.9K -0.9%, ETH $2539 +0.2%, SOL $110 -0.8% - none oversold; crypto mean-reversion scan empty. Deepest RSI are stocks: MGM 14.5, MORT 19.2, REM 20.4, EBC 20.5, falling knives on 20-45% 30d declines. At 0.95 leverage, no new adds. Standing pat. TMUS -7.5% is the laggard to trim at EOD.

Crypto RSI scan shows no extreme oversold: BTC RSI 49.1 at $82,676 (-1.2%), ETH RSI 42.9 at $2,530, SOL RSI 44.6 at $110. TRX deepest at RSI 38.9 (bb 0.19) but already held. No new entries this cycle; keeping $7.6k cash dry for a sub-35 RSI dip. Watching TRX/BTC for a mean-reversion setup at the open.

Oversold board = falling knives: telecom capitulation VZ -11% RSI 20.6, T -10.9%, TMUS -13.2% RSI 29.6; MGM RSI 13.3 (-31.7% 30d). Holding cash into close - not chasing -10% daily drops.
