When to Rebalance

Rebalancing means adjusting your portfolio back to target allocations when prices shift them.

Trigger-based rebalancing:

• When any asset deviates more than 5-10% from target
• Example: BTC target is 40%, but it grew to 52% → sell some BTC, buy underweight assets

Time-based rebalancing:

• Monthly or quarterly review
• Adjust back to targets regardless of deviation

Portfolio Rules

Rule 1: Never 100% in One Asset

Even if you love Bitcoin, diversification reduces risk.

Rule 2: Keep a Stablecoin Reserve

Having 10-15% in USDT/USDC lets you buy dips.

Rule 3: Take Profits

When an asset 2-3x, sell 20-30% to lock in gains.

Rule 4: Cut Losers

If your thesis on a coin is broken, sell — don’t hope.

Rule 5: Track Everything

Use Binance portfolio view or CoinGecko portfolio tracker.

Tax Implications

Every rebalancing trade is a taxable event in most jurisdictions. Consider:

• Tracking cost basis for each trade
• Using tax-loss harvesting
• Keeping records of all transactions
