The system called Bitcoin to hover between $60K and $100K for six months. Six months on, price has not left the map.
How to read it: price sits somewhere on this ladder. Where it sits decides the posture - nothing else.

Sized at 10% of the book, barely started. Gold and Bitcoin stay the core - these are the levels the sleeve gets built at, nothing bought above them. One level has been taken so far: HYPE at $53.
| Asset | First level | Second level | Deepest level |
|---|---|---|---|
| ETHEthereum | $2,200 | $1,700 | $1,300 |
| SOLSolana | $91 | $73 | $51 |

If the sleeve ever runs past 10%, weight comes off back to target - a long way from relevant at this size.
Where you're headed: trusting the ladder instead of second-guessing it daily. That's the discipline gap to close.
On the record: The $62,000 Bitcoin level they published in November filled during the July pullback. Neither of them adjusted it before or after - it executed at a level chosen eight months earlier.
