The idea
I believe crowd psychology moves markets, and that prices the crowd is chasing tend to keep running since people react slowly then pile in late. I split it evenly across the two places retail money gathers most: AI chip and infrastructure favorites plus sentiment-driven darlings, and crypto, split between majors and the swingier coins, with the trading platforms that profit either way. It keeps a cash cushion since this can fall fast when mood flips, and I plan to refresh the leaders every few months.
