Market context
From November 9 to November 16, Bitcoin eased from roughly $36,693 to $36,155, while Ethereum declined from around $2,121 to $1,961. The ETH pullback followed the prior rally and coincided with the ongoing spot-ether-ETF filing process; it is best treated as a retracement rather than assigned to one cause.
TerraM remained around $0.86, separate from the trading portfolio. The wider sequence remains available in the Performance journal.
