Another week of little movement, with a gentle upward drift to keep us hoping!
I feel like a crab, shuffling along sideways while the "normal" markets are moving upwards quite nicely.
Still, sideways is better than down, right?
Here are this week's numbers:
As you would expect, there's not much happening. Since everything's in crypto at the moment (not stables) there's a gentle rise, along with the markets.
I did what will now be my regular monthly move of interest from SOL and ETH (earning 20% APY and 15% APY respectively), converting them to BTC to begin balancing the big three, and also decided to use my p0x funds to buy XAUT - a little real-world gold on top of the crypto won't hurt. I mentioned this possibility a long time ago (reminded myself while putting content on the website for backup!) and was targetting PAXG... but XAUT gets 10% interest at MEXC and PAXG doesn't, so I went with the profit. 😁
In detail:
- Trading up 3.11%
- Copy Trading up 3.94%
- Banking up 5.27%
- Overall up 4.63%
It's not much, but it should be enough to keep me from getting too twitchy and doing something stupid.
It's also the end of a month, so I have 4-weekly figures, too:
- Trading down 54.56% (because I moved $2.2k to Banking)
- Copy Trading down 12.44%
- Banking up 11.15%
- Overall down 19.51%
Given that ETH and BTC are both down about 25% in the same period, I'm not unhappy about that. I'd rather it was in the opposite direction but, hey, that's coming, right? We just have to be strong in our convictions. Bitcoin always goes back up (as does ETH).
I'm not going to bore you with the tracking or '26 Picks this week: they're stagnant, too. We'll catch up with those next time. 👍
In the meantime, I'm enjoying the lower-stress time of not watching the markets too closely. War Thunder, Season 5 of The Boys, some paid-to-play via Cointiply and paid reading through Deservve. It's all good.
What are you doing while the markets sit still? I'd love to know!
