Bitcoin surges 200% in 6 months. If you started with a 40% BTC allocation, it might now represent 70% of your portfolio. Without rebalancing, your 'diversified' portfolio is now a highly concentrated Bitcoin bet. Rebalancing restores your intentional allocation — selling some BTC into the rally and deploying those profits into underweighted assets.

Rebalancing During Bull Markets
Rebalancing During Bull Markets
Bull market rebalancing is the most emotionally difficult but most profitable. When Bitcoin rallies strongly, you must sell a portion to maintain your allocation — counterintuitive when the news is all positive. Yet this is exactly when sold profits are most valuable and when underweighted alts represent the best opportunity for rotation.
Historical data from 2020-2021 bull market: portfolios that rebalanced monthly captured altcoin season gains that static portfolios missed. XRP, in particular, experienced significant gains in late-cycle rotation — exactly when a rebalancing strategy would have increased XRP weight from reduced BTC allocation.
