🧠 H1 2025 in One Word: Discipline

It wasn't the wild bull of 2020, nor the wreckage of 2022 — but H1 2025 demanded something harder: discipline. Every breakout begged to be chased. Every rate pivot rumor stirred hope. But the winners weren't the fastest — they were the most selective.

✅ My Best Trade: Staying Long $NVIDIA(NVDA)$   with Conviction

Back in April, I added to my $NVDA position on the dip around $100, despite sentiment wobbling on AI saturation. The logic?

EPS was solid, even if guidance was cautious

Long-term demand for AI infrastructure was intact

RSI reset to ~40 while fundamentals remained strong

By late June, the stock reclaimed $150+, and that trade remains my highest conviction hold. Discipline here meant trusting long-term thesis > short-term noise.

❌ Biggest Lesson: FOMO in $COIN and Getting Burned

My worst move? Chasing $COIN at $265 in March.

Bitcoin was surging

ETF headlines were everywhere

But I ignored the fact that transaction volumes weren’t improving

Add in SEC pressure and the cracks showed fast

Sold at a 15% loss in April. Lesson? Momentum without fundamentals = fragility. I let the headlines seduce me and paid the price.

🔁 Strategic Shifts for H2 2025

Here's how I'm tightening the screws:

Less chasing, more waiting: Watching setups mature before sizing in

Higher cash allocation: In choppy markets, capital preservation is alpha

Selective sector focus: Staying heavy in semis ($NVDA, $ASML), cautious on fintech

Also dabbling in short-term options around earnings — but only where the volatility pricing favors reward over hype.

🧭 Mindset Evolution: From Aggressive to Intentional

In 2020–21, I was chasing green candles.

In 2022, I learned humility.

In 2023, I was too cautious.

Now in 2025, Ive realized: Intent beats intensity.

Im not trying to beat the market every quarter.

Im trying to stay in the game with my edge intact.
