ByteTree's Crypto Leaders
ByteFolio brings together ATOMIC, ByteTrend and Token Takeaway to create ByteTree’s model portfolio, known as ByteFolio. This is a selection of crypto tokens, which are weighted according to their risk/reward characteristics. ByteFolio has a modest turnover and will not suit traders. It will appeal to investors who wish to diversify beyond bitcoin, with the aim to beat it.
ByteFolio enjoyed a strong rally this week as altcoins surged in the wake of bitcoin’s and ethereum’s recoveries. ByteFolio has now reached 9.92 BTC, a sharp jump from 9.59 last week. All holdings, apart from Gatechain (GT), contributed to the strong relative performance, with BCB leading the pack having outperformed BTC by more than 13% over the week.
The addition to the ETH position last week was well-timed, with the price having risen over 11% compared to bitcoin since. Ethereum’s recovery has been decisive. Two weeks ago it had zero stars on ByteTrend, now it’s on 5 stars against bitcoin and 3 stars against the US$. New entry Uniswap rose over 6% against BTC last week and by more than 12% against the US$.

One obvious question is whether this rally has legs. While the macro picture has temporarily eased, we note a huge move in Dogecoin, which is the poster child for speculation in the sector. Normally moves like this mark the top of a rally rather than the bottom, although it should be said that Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter will have prompted this bout of enthusiasm, as he is a confessed fan of the meme-coin. There is a loose theory that it might play some part in Twitter if it embraces payments more wholeheartedly in the future. For our part, while we note a big trend shift for DOGE, we will not be chasing the price. It fails our bottom-up assessment.

The portfolio will remain unchanged this week. We’ve had a sharp move and are happy with the sizing of holdings, which are all behaving well.
