📉 Market Insight – Week 9
This week confirms the ongoing correction:
- VUG remains relatively stable compared to crypto assets.
- Bitcoin continues trending downward, now near $64k.
- HIVE shows stronger volatility, amplifying drawdowns.
However, something important is happening:
📌 We are accumulating more units every week.
Lower prices = higher quantities.
That is the silent power of Dollar-Cost Averaging.
🔂 What Matters Now
Markets go up.
Markets go down.
Disciplined investors keep buying.
We now hold:
- 0.37463 VUG shares
- 264.43 HIVE
- 0.00028135 BTC
The compounding engine is running.
💬 Final Thoughts — Week 9
“Temporary losses test conviction. Long-term discipline builds wealth.”
Nine weeks in, we are experiencing volatility — and that is completely normal.
The strategy is intact.
The consistency is intact.
The plan continues.
Onward to Week 10 🚀
