Bitcoin's slow movement compared to Ethereum's faster gains has caused my portfolio to drift 2% from my target allocation, triggering another rebalance.

What is Rebalancing?
Think of rebalancing like keeping your investment pie balanced. If you want 60% Bitcoin and 40% Ethereum, but Bitcoin goes up a lot and becomes 70% of your money, you sell some Bitcoin and buy more Ethereum to get back to your target.
It's like having a robot that automatically buys low and sells high for you - without emotions or guessing.
How Much Bitcoin vs Ethereum Should You Hold?
Most people choose one of these simple splits:
60% Bitcoin, 40% Ethereum: Safe choice - Bitcoin is more stable
50% Bitcoin, 50% Ethereum: Equal split - balanced approach
40% Bitcoin, 60% Ethereum: Growth focused - Ethereum might grow faster
My Personal Setup: 65% Bitcoin, 35% Ethereum
After trying different combinations, I settled on 65% Bitcoin and 35% Ethereum. Here's why this works well:
Bitcoin is the king: It's more stable and trusted by big companiesEthereum still has room to grow: 35% gives me good upside potentialLess stress: Bitcoin doesn't swing as wildly as other coinsBetter sleep: This mix has worked well over time
When I Rebalance: Every 2% Change
I set my bot to rebalance when things get 2% out of balance. So:
If Bitcoin goes from 65% to 67%, time to rebalance
If Ethereum drops from 35% to 33%, time to rebalance
This might seem like a lot of trading, but it catches small moves before they become big problems.
When Should You Rebalance?
Set a Schedule: Some people rebalance every month, others every 3 months
Set a Trigger: Rebalance when your split gets 10-15% off target
Big Market Moves: When crypto goes crazy (up or down 20%+)
Why This Actually Works
You're Forced to Buy Low: When Ethereum crashes, you automatically buy more
You're Forced to Sell High: When Bitcoin moons, you automatically take profits
No Emotions: The bot doesn't panic or get greedy like humans do
Spread Your Risk: You're not putting all eggs in one basket
Real World Example
Let's say you start with $1,000:
$650 in Bitcoin, $350 in Ethereum
Bitcoin pumps 20%, Ethereum stays flat:
Bitcoin now worth $780 (78% of portfolio)Ethereum still $350 (35% of portfolio)
Your bot sells $130 worth of Bitcoin and buys Ethereum to get back to 65/35.
Result: You just sold Bitcoin high and bought Ethereum low - automatically!
2025 Market Reality
Right now, big companies are buying both Bitcoin and Ethereum. Ethereum has some major upgrades coming that could make it more valuable. Bitcoin keeps getting stronger as "digital gold."
This creates perfect conditions for rebalancing - when one goes up, the other often lags behind, giving you chances to profit.

The Bottom Line
Rebalancing between Bitcoin and Ethereum is like having a disciplined investor making decisions for you 24/7. It takes away the stress of trying to time the market perfectly.
You'll automatically buy the dip and sell the pump, which is exactly what successful investors do - but most people can't do it because emotions get in the way.
The key is picking your percentages and sticking to them. Let the robot do the work while you focus on the long-term growth of crypto.
