FOUR COINS CAN STILL BE ONE TRADE IN DISGUISE.
Across the last 72 hourly returns, BTC and ETH show a 0.75 correlation. BTC–SOL is 0.62, ETH–SOL is 0.61, and SOL–BNB is 0.59. These are not identical assets, but their short-term behavior is far from independent. Snapshot: 22:24 ICT.
The lesson: counting tickers is not the same as measuring diversification. When correlated positions move together, portfolio risk can stack faster than each individual position suggests. Evaluate exposure at the cluster level, especially during volatility spikes.
More symbols can create the feeling of safety. Correlation reveals whether that safety is real. #RiskManagement $BTC $ETH
