📉 Market Insight – Week 7
- VUG continues trading lower compared with recent weeks, reflecting broader market pressure on growth stocks. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
- Bitcoin (BTC) is under renewed volatility, trading under $70,000, a sign of risk-off sentiment among investors. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
- HIVE also shows depreciation, highlighting cryptocurrency volatility — particularly for smaller tokens.
🧠 Takeaway: Market pullbacks are part of the journey. Down weeks offer opportunities to accumulate at lower prices if you maintain your long-term horizon.
🔂 What’s Next?
Each week we will:
- Add $25 USD
- Acquire new asset quantities
- Update portfolio value
- Track performance and momentum
- Reflect on market context
At the end of every month we’ll also start evaluating compound growth projections and longer-term scenarios.
💬 Final Thoughts — Week 7
“Drawdowns are not failures — they are part of the price you pay for potential long-term returns.”
Even during downturns, staying consistent builds resilience and lowers your average cost per asset. We continue adding exposure week after week — the most important part of any long-term plan.
📅 Onward to Week 8!
