AS for many days, the crypto market is now in good conduction as compare from the last three to four months. But now a new thing in coming to altcoin, that the prices of all altcoins are fluctuating very badly and not able to stable in a single position for at least an hour. So, what should we do in this dramatic conduction of altcoin?

Nothing you can do than to be patient, this is not the altcoin season yet, besides, this is market fluctuating which is very common with crypto, if you are not a day trader, you can just hold and watch the market stabilise a bit, if you are trading then you have to apply caution to not incur several loss as a result.

The best approach for one to utilise in reducing losses from trading is to set stop loss on every trade carried out. This would help to reduce the impact of the high volatility we experience lately in the cryptocurrency space. Atimes I feel the reason for these volatility could be as a result of people or a community pumping the value of altcoin.

Market volatility is part of crypto that makes it more possible for traders to trade, don't expect the price to be stagnant, when market is up or down makes it possible to buy and sell, if you feel it is too volatile for you, then you can take a break or just hold and wait it out for a more favourable condition,
market is still on its way to recovery after a long period of bear mode, so you can either be patient and hold or sell and move on.

It is not new.. its always been like that.. when the top currencies are on fire some of the altcoins are so down.. but we cannot do anything about it.. just have long patience.. maybe in the next few hours those altcoin prices will rise  ;D

Why do you want or need stable prices in the first place? If you want to make payment with fixed value you can use stablecoins. Most traders like volatility and rapid market movements as this gives them the chance to trade and profit and this is what crypto market is famous for.

It's not a new thing, altcoins are more volatile than bitcoin, therefore that fluctuation you witnessed is just normal.
We may see that altcoins is stable for some time, but that doesn't mean the market has already become stable as anytime price could significantly move, either it will pump or it will dump, that's the reality, so better get used to it.

As we can see in https://coinmarketcap.com/.. most of the coins are in red, when price dump a bit, the market will have a significant move.

Bitcoin though still at a good price, but it's -1.57% today.

The market won't change according to your wish, it moves in a random manner. We are supposed to make our decisions based on the market moves. Ethereum hasn't shown signs of large fluctuations, I believe the altcoins mentioned in the OP were listed above 100 on coinmarketcap. Past two days the market was green, and today it has turned red. There'll be atleast some minor fluctuation between time. We can't expect stable value with time.

The drama I'm seeing around altcoins lately aren't a bad one but a very bullish one, ethereum made it to 380$ and projects like DOS token, DIA token, Chainlink, are all so bullish, it's better to keep holding your altcoins and be patience

Is there a reason why you have called it as a drama while the market itself will determine the price of altcoin? When you are actively watching the development progress and there was so many huge updates in altcoin.

Its actually a normal thing in crypto market. Prices tend to go down and up, there are so many projects that are dropping with short period of time. Why? Im sure its about people transferring to different new coins and tokens that worth to invest with. If you noticed for example is on the IEO processes. Some of them are just taking away the profits then leave the project. No one actually stays longer on each project.

Just enjoy the waves you can easily earn profit with that movement of Altcoins. this is a good things for short term traders they can easily gain money for that movement its advantage for them since thats what they are looking for.


But don't forget to be very careful since there are many people loosing in that Altcoin movement you just need to have your own stop lost if the market is not favor in your prediction you can easily cut your losses.

This is the same as happened in 2019 when the price of bitcoin went up, but the price of altcoins did not have a fast development like bitcoin. however, I think the current situation is better. however, the current recovery has not actually occurred and is still in progress. even now the altcoin price is still waiting for the bitcoin pump price to be pumped back. Well, we need to look at this in the future.

All you have to do in this dramatic altcoin condition is to see opportunities in trading and always monitor the market and be careful in choosing Altcoins, except for Altcoins which are always in the top 10, I don't think it's a problem to choose.

In my opinion, this is not a drama, but the usual state of affairs, altcoins always behave unstable, BTC pump, they dump, BTC dump, they dump too, we can only watch and endure.

I do not think it is correct to use stop loss in the spot market. When I started trading, I used stop loss in all trades, and it brought me some losses. As a rule, the price changed very much on the impulse movement, but then recovered to the original value. But if you are using margin or futures trading, you should definitely use a stop loss. Otherwise, your deposit will be liquidated by the exchange.

People don't call them shitcoins for no reason what did you expect?

Just wait and maybe they turn into gold in the future.  8)

Most of them will become what they really are though, shit.

I think you need to understand that altcoin is very much volatile compare to bitcoin so you shouldn't be surprised by this wild and huge fluctuations. I would even call this a norm in a bull run market. You can look back at 2017 and you will see how altcoin's market is very unstable at that time. So there is no drama, perhaps groups are busy doing their pump and dump scheme on small tier exchanges.

What do you expect, we are in the period of recovery.


There no such thing as new thing coming in to Altcoin, this is how it has been, huge price pump followed by a massive dump, just look here, https://coinmarketcap.com/gainers-losers/. All you can do is what, or if you wanted to make money then join the hype, but just be careful because there is a huge risk involved.

You can wait til you see what could happen but there is a chance that this is going to keep spiking. I've been seeing my tokens increased in value somehow which is good. I would dump some if I have too but I'm not willing to submit my data to un unknown exchanges. If the tokens are listed on uniswap, then I might just try it there than on exchanges. So for now waiting is just what I do. You mgiht wanna observe yet you never know your tokens might go up too.

if you are among those who are proficient in crypto / altcoin trading this is your golden opportunity to profit / second / hour.

Crypto volume is unstable in the market in a matter of seconds it can change in an instant, right now all you have to do is trade on futures/short, not long-term investments.

Example; that happened in the last few days against coins (JST), (NRG) (AOA) (YFI) and many others.
Focus on short-term trading, monitor charts, and analyze market volume over time against the Altcoins you want to trade.

This is the nature of altcoins having high volatility and being volatile is an advantage for traders to earn profit its pretty normal I can see no drama on in the best thing to do is to take this opportunity to earn in this kind of market fluctuations by day trading and earn profit.

I am now choosing a waiting strategy. the situation is very difficult for me now. I cannot make a correct analysis of the market because it is not clear where the prices for cryptocurrencies will move. I will wait for further action

if the altcoins are in a pair of BTC and ETH, maybe their value will fall, but if it's in a stable currency pair like dollar or usdt, I think if it's recalculated it will have the same value. that's in my opinion, but if you expect the BTC and ETH pair, your altcoins will still go down because people prefer to hold BTC and ETH because of their increasing prices, but just wait for more investors to enter the crypto market.

If you just watch and survive, there will be no profit that we can get from every market condition, it would be better if you use a little capital to gain profits through Altcoins that already have potential when BTC starts pumping upwards.

Now, there is a dramatic situation in the crypto market in terms of price fluctuations and the behavior it has shown from the last 6 months at the beginning of the COVID19. f you remind from the last six months then the cryptos are already was in an upward movement but suddenly the starting of the COVID the Bitcoin price has gone down from the $10,000 to $6,000 hence the Ethereum also came to below at $145. But, as the market caught up the movement so it has gradually go increase and now the Bitcoin has reached the price level of above $12,000 and the Ethereum above $400. So, be patient as you know the prices of the crypto are always volatile. Do, not gauge it a dramatic asset as you must get benefits if you have an investment in the good coins.

This is not something new in the market, the market had been volatile and this isn't the worse. Maximizing the opportunity to ride the market is the best thing to do, although it is risky. Most altcoin pumps and dumps depending if there's a massive movement in BTC since most of them are paired on it. People start dumping their altcoin whenever the BTC price starts rising.

I am not sure what is new in this one since we already know that all the cryptocurrencies are unstable or the proper word we use is "Volatile".

Just getting to the point, there doesnt seems any news floating around where it would be affect all the altcoins. Max to max you can say something about ETH since its newest version of 2.0 underway.

Rest of them just jiggling around as matter of high volatility fundings. You know the "anyone with any amount can come in come out of the market". That's what it is.

And let's admit the fact that most of these alts are crap, without usage in the market and just pump and dump by their devs. Very few alts have real application and are really working to their goals. Most of them don't even touch their roadmap and just relying on their traders. So only few alts, can really survive in this market.

Movement is life, on the contrary, it's great that altcoins show signs of life, drama is when the price of the token dump -99%.

Isnt the fluctuating prices the norm with these coins? Nothing to be done about it i guess. What i do with these mostly is wait until i feel like its time but i dont sell when its in the middle of a trend of rising up. I try to stray away from the panic.

The prices of all cryptocurrencies are constantly changing and will change and there is nothing to be done about it, only the price of stable coins staying on one place, so you by yourself must decide and think about what to do if you want to invest in cryptocurrencies or trade.

It is already a known fact that the crypto space is a volatile world. Everyone trading in the space is fully aware of it and prepared even before venturing into it. I advice that you always make provision for contingency and know when to pullout of the market in cases where there are unspeculated movement so as to minimise losses.

Regarding that matter I can the best thing that we can do to improve that fluctuating conditions of those altcoins is to patronized and promote those altcoin especially that we all know that the cryptoworld is so volatile.

on the year 2017 yes they are its because thats the time all coins pump at thier highest potential so people should sell or miss those good moment , selling of all users is the reason why price hardly to become stable that time but on the year 2019 the situation is different  . coins dump that time and they became stable with low price .

now i can say that most alts are still stable so i dont get the point of op or maybe he was talking to the new tokens .

I have already made a very good profit during the green season on the altcoin market. Now I have fixed my profit and now I will wait for the decline in prices for altcoins.

I don't know what altcoins are you looking at but those top altcoins in the market are doing great if you mean new tokens that you are supporting then the developers of those projects should be the one to address you should push them to make their project looks good and work on the demand, the top 10 coins or tokens in the market are doing just fine.

Since I have no experience in trading I just buy some coin I think looks good enough and have the potential, I buy what I can afford and hodl for some time, marker will always fluctuates but there is nothing anyone can do just be patient and follow up accordingly.

It turns out that the market has its own agenda where we can't take control over them. We have different market approach, may the others feel uncomfortable with the current situation while the others also accepted it. And since before, the market looks like this, volatility makes the market more alive that of the stock market and this is a reason why many investors had fall into crypto investment.

@OP, feel this is not another drama, in fact, we've been like this before. It sometimes the market goes high but later on it goes back down again. We should have nothing to complain for that situation coz that is one of the market features that crypto enthusiasts live with.

I think OP is not familiar with the movement of the market, like what you said it's very normal and it will happen a hundred or even thousands of times and the market will be like that, we should accept the market as it is and we should control our reaction so we can catch the market actual situation.

if you trade in futures it is very volatile, I avoid trading like that, there will be surprises from altcoins if the price of Bitcoin can be stable, don't get you wrong position

That is enough for you because you don't have to follow the price if you can not do it, and you can hold the coins until it can increase. I think that it will be safer for you because you can avoid your heart to beat faster when you see the market moves. Besides that, if you can hold for some time, you will see when the price will increase at the right time, and that will be your time to sell your coins. But you need to buy the potential coins, and maybe you can avoid buying the new coins.

Mate this is not a drama crypto market works this way, the altcoin fluctuation is just a normal thing, even in 2017-2018 ATH the market is quite fluctuating in 24-hour basis so there's nothing we can do about it, for all I care is to exploit this trend so that I can earn some decent profit out of it. maybe you should try too.

Crypto has been never stable, it's incredible volatile. There's nothing we can do to make the market stable, that's just how the market is. if you wanna invest in something stable just buy gold.

I can't really stress this enough but crypto is a volatile thing, it will go up and go down and do all kinds of stuff and we just have to deal with that, I still do not understand why people are worried about every time it moves. Certainly sometimes it will lose 50% value, sometimes it will gain 100%, and I know that there are tons of times when in real life that happens and that means something huge, you do not think about GDP of a nation going up 100% do you?

You think about a nation going up 5% and that is a good thing, however in crypto we are talking about 100% movement as a not a big deal, hell we have seen coins dropping 90%+ and recovering 50% of that in a year. So, I would say just calm down and you are going to be fine no matter where the direction takes us.

It wouldn’t get more worse than what it was around February before now, the market has recovered and wouldn’t go that low even though it’s fluctuating. Another thing is that you should check the coins and tokens you’re holding, it’s very important to know where they are heading to, so that you don’t keep holding a token that’s soon going for a nosedive and then you will start serious loss. Why I’m saying this is because all the markets are not the same, despite there are tokens that will continue to flourish and increase as time goes on this year, there are still the ones that are going to be having serious problems.

Volatility is a given in crypto, and you will not find anyone surprised or worried about it. Just have patience, and avoid any rash decisions. Give yourself time to study the market first!

If you're still holding onto some of the top altcoins, my advice is to be patient and stick around. altcoin price fluctuations seem to be influenced by the coin holder itself. I mean like a trader who is trading altcoins or an investor who sells it when the price is rising. this is common in the crypto industry.

yeah, but that is not just crypto related, in each market you have volatility and fluctuations, and regarding this year, i would not call crypto as most volatile, although July was a good month, with positive outcome for most altcoins

If we are talking about volatility mate, there's nothing more volatile than bitcoin, you've just said it coz you see a huge gains on some alternative coins, higher than what the bitcoin had last week but that does not mean that they are more volatile than bitcoin. As you have said, altcoins are more stable for some time which is not a true definition of volatility. Volatility is defined by wide price speculation and heavy trading which makes up the price, in the case of atlcoins the rise are just pumps,  a long time needed pump for the coin not to die. Seeing the market now, It's all good, bitcoin is rising and altcoins too, secure what you need to secure.

Bitcoin is looking good, it is still up 20% from the past week, as for my speculation to it, it will stay at $11k for quite some time and pump again by mid September  8)

This market fluctuation is to be expected, and there is little you/we can do to control for it. One thing to keep in mind is that investments do fluctuate so the best thing to do is to select a project/token/coin you think will withstand this volatility. Also, when investing in any coin do be prepared to lose it too.

Overall, there is nothing you can do to control this fluctuation the best option is to chose carefully and trust the project, also be super patient.

If cryptocurrency takes a stable position, how can we invest in cryptocurrency? We are all afraid to invest in cryptocurrency for fluctuate situation, but without cryptocurrency fluctuate we can't be interested like now. Altcoins price was getting worse during last year's pump of Bitcoin. In every different situation, cryptocurrency is doing great. Actually we're started to like altcoins drama.

No one can do anything about it, because it is one of the things found within the crypto space, just like the crypto space is unpredictable as a result of its volatile nature and nothing anyone can do about it, in the same way, market fluctuations will continue going on and nothing anyone can do about it; somehow it is good for traders. However, many people might still believe we are in altcoins season but I still have my doubts ( I may be wrong though).

I don't think it is a new thing, the fluctuation is always happening in the crypto world. And do you want a stable price? you should go to the stable coin. Altcoins will never be stable in one hour. If it happens (so does the Bitcoin), it will be sideways. It means not a good thing.
- For the traders, fluctuating is a good thing to get the profits even in a single minute. And if the price is stable or sideways in one hour, it is not a good thing because they cannot make good profits from it.
- For holder, no worry about the price because you are a holder that do not need to sell the coins or tokens immediately. The way to do is just keeping or holding it patiently until reaching the rate that you expect.

If you can figure it out, the fluctuation in the price s of altcoins generally and that of bitcoin is some how alternating.
If bitcoin should increase for some tim,e the time time it becomes stable or coming downtrend, altcoins will pick it up from there. This is what has ben happening all these while.
Perhaps it is a sign of bull to come.
Although, there are times that they will all take off at once and come down trend at once.

Thats a normal thing I think, altcoin is really a good choice to invest with in the time of defi hype. But make sure that you are careful on dealing with the market cause you can see a huge down and up in just split seconds. Altcoin always like that, it boom it drop, all possible scenario is unpredictable and we can only wish that we choose the right project for our money.

Altcoins will have to wait a few more days because they dropped several time so my thinking there do not come back quickly. Also you can now invest in some new defi projects as the time is being calculated for defi. Moreover, you can increase your daily profit share by trading, but hold the holding coins for a few more days.

currently, the crypto market is experiencing a significant increase, but for traders, don't be left behind to take advantage of moments like this, namely doing daily trading.

Yes, this time the crypto market is in good condition. But I think you also knew it that it's been volatile all of this time. So if there is a movement and it fluctuates negatively, you'll never know.
Because it's the attitude of crypto market and it continues to keep moving like that. My suggestion of what you must do is don't be panic if you see it fluctuates. Learn to go with the wave and be calm all of the time it fluxes.

When the dominance of BTC decreases, altcoins always surprise us with their price growth. This is a great opportunity to increase your number of bitcoins. But we must remember that when BTC falls by 10-20%, altcoins can lose 50% or more in price.

The thing now is people have time to monitor their portfolio too much, that even we set goals and knew it will drop and soon to rise again. I also experience it this time of quarantine since I was able to focus a lot in trading that whenever the price goes down even I knew that the price drops is normal it seems I can't wait and wanted to change the plan, I better should find other activities to keep me busy so when the prices isn't good that day I will not mind too much.

That is what is called market volatility. It is relatively ok to conclude that if you are not ready to admit the loss, it is better you take out your trade and buy less volatile coins at the moment (maybe Bitcoin). Stablecoin is commonly regarded as a safe haven at this moment but however, the price can still go in anyway.If you are a risk-taker, you can continue watching the market. For the past few weeks, crypto trading has continued to witness continous market influx of minted stablecoins

for myself this is not a new drama but just a classic event, every time Bitcoin has experienced a very high price increase, it is certain that altcoin as its children experiences an unstable change because it might equalize its value with bitcoin and fiat so things will definitely happen something like this and in the future will happen again ,,

what we have to do now is if we are long-term players then we have to wait for the altcoin price in the stable market because it is still in a price correction position or price adjustment to the value of bitcoin with fiat,

there is nothing to do but be patient to wait for the right time and conditions or try your own luck by playing fast in the markets.

If you are knowledgeable enough in trading, you should try daily or scalping trading since you said the altcoins are not stable and always fluctuates every single minute the that is the best opportunity for you gain profits if your are a expert trader. You'll be able to utilize the movements of the charts for your gains.

I think all the traders who are already professionals will obviously take advantage of the good moments at this time, because they can definitely make a profit through the trading knowledge they have had for a long time.

If crypto is stable i think alot of people are still gonna invest to it and be interested, as long as the price increase while being stable is not gonna be a problem to some people. Some altcoins are too reliant to being that's why they're not doing well right now, as long as bitcoin's price increase altcoin's will increase too.

High risk high reward strategy is to be doing margin trading if you know how to do it and should only do if you have a previous experience with margin trading in the past and know how to do technical analysis. But for those who don't know TA then only trading the altcoins is the option that they have to go for. Also now a days there is the availability of flash loans and you can combine these flash loans with arbitrage opportunities and then you can make a killing without risking much of your coins in that trade, all you gotta pay is the transaction fees and that's it.

That's right, if he couldn't take advantage of it at this point, then he would not be a trader who was skilled in his field, because skilled traders would definitely take advantage of this to make a large profit day after day.

But this situation is better than it continues like a few months ago, it is quite risky to do day trading today. I'm not too sad because this situation is good for me because I prefer to hold

That's right, because in the past few months I have seen many old projects that have increased price of token unexpectedly and also this situation is like an altseason, only this is a small version this happens I think it is also related to current situation of crypto market which can be said is quite good, and also using this moment for day trading or short trade is perfect.

This is common case in crypto world. This is happening because btc is moving. Maximum time when btc goes up maximum altcoins price also rise. That's why in last few days altcoins moving. In this time most of the successful trader catch the coin and make profit. If you can't don't try to trade altcoins because wrong steps can be dangerous for you.

This called crypto volatility and it's a part of crypto market. From past couple of weeks altcoin growing up, specially defi altcoin projects. Many people thinking this is the sign of bull run. If it's sign of bull run then price fluctuating is not a new thing. We saw many times in past. All we can do be patience and join the bull run. Try to invest on some good altcoin projects which still have chance to grow up.

Everyone experience it. The sudden thinking of his crypto assets to fall, we're all experiencing that as we're seeing the volatility in the market with our eyes.
We just can't avoid that feeling.

You have only low volume coins or bad research cons. Almost all top coins are doing a good pump but only a few coins' prices are stable. Out of the top 100 or 200 coins or very new coins prices are fluctuating. You noticed this drama because you are holding low volume coins. Actually I want to see which coins fluctuate in one hour between the last 2 days.

even the small defi coins are also doing so good right now. this time is the time for defi to show its potential and some defi has already broken a new ATH. that means if the market is really different right now. Drama is not only coming for small coins.

Seriously it looks good seeing the market in this way because it will keep attracting more users while encouraging others as well. Now about the fluctuations you are referring to, it is how the market is and there is nothing that can be done about it than trading it that way. If you don't want fluctuations then go for stablecoins but I must tell you they are stable in price and hence will never grow. So I don't know what you want to do, but if you want to trade then learn before you get started.

What is happening to altcoins at the moment cannot be termed to be a drama, rather it is the effects of the increase of altcoin dominance against bitcoin. The bull run seems to be near; and the altcoin season is also here. Instead of wondering why the price positions are not stable; i implore you take the moment to find gem altcoins, you can invest in and take profit.

Prices of crypto currency tokens will always fluctuate, be it in a bull season or in a bearish market.

isn't this great? you can make a profit in a short time but it can cause losses too, have to be able to adjust the timing.
and also the defi project which is currently the most underdog or rather fomo is currently in the defi project

In a market situation like now, the price of most of the altcoins is going up, but even though the price of the altcoins is
very volatile.We can take advantage of this condition by scalping, that is, when the pump price we can sell some of the
altcoins we have, the rest remains in hold in case the price continues to rise. Then if there is a price correction, we can
buy back the altcoins. Do this repeatedly, so we can collect large amounts of profit.

The reality with altcoin market is that despite the sky-high trade volumes, the liquidity is extremely low. That's why we witness the prices dropping by 10% or 20% all of a sudden, when a whale enters the market to dump his coins. Forget about altcoins, this holds true even for Bitcoin. As we have seen during the last few weeks, a single trade can dramatically alter the exchange rates.

Flactuation is a common matter in crypto as we have seen in the last 3 years. The recent flactuations for positive trend is not a bad sign. It is time for Bitcoin and Ethereum i think. Altcoins' good time is waiting if anything negative or rumor isn't happening in the next few weeks or months. We can see a bull market if everythink remains good.

but in order to dump the price of bitcoin, you need to have a very large amount of money. to make a price dump on altcoins, you need much less money and therefore it has more risks

Fluctuations and volatility are the characteristics of cryptocurrency. It's almost impossible to have the value of every altcoin stable for an hour. The challenge we have is when the value is going against our trades,  not when it's fluctuates. I do hope that the value of altcoin fluctuates so that we can have greater profits in the market.

Bitcoin no individual person would be able to do it. You require a whole lot of institutions or giant whales coming together and then dumping it then only it would be possible or some news which leads to sell it. For altcoins some of the smaller priced coins or using the dump and pump group some of the volatility in this space is much higher and could be done.

Fluctuating or increasing? To me I don't think I understand your question, we are in a bull market and there is no way price will move up without the price moving up and down because prices do not move in straight. If the tokens you are holding in your portfolio increases in value start booking profit because nothing last forever

The most unique property of crypto market is volatility, and if the market is not very volatile, trading will be boring. As for me, price fluctuations are cool. I'm a price action trader and take advantage of these movements after thorough technical analysis. Not only altcoins, BTC is not left out when it comes to volatility, reason why it can gain or lose 1k$+ just in 24 hours.

The market force is natural, we don't really have control over it since there are transactions on every seconds.  Lots of investors are probably selling off their altcoins except ETH in order to invest in BTC and ETH whose price is skyrocketing.  This is one of the causes of the price instability for other altcoins I guess.

   I think you got it all wrong! I don't think it's the right term to use it, alt-coins fluctuating very badly, fluctuations are a trader's heaven,
more it happens the more profit he can make. And this is not a drama, maybe in the beginning when you introducing crypto-market for
the first time, but after a while you get used to it, and you find a way to make profit from that!

The market is never stable, the trend will change after a few days, this is normal.However, it is expected that if this trend of the market is in the right way, the alter coin will go to a better situation.
Moreover, Etherium is going in a good position.

There is nothing to be done with the fluctuations during this time.
Fluctuations are the very nature of cryptocurrency, and it is a constant thing.
Whether you decide to hold or sell, caution must be manifested to prevent losses in occurring.

For what is happening in the crypto space atm, i would not say there is a drama; instead i would put it rightly by saying that there has been a good rise in value of altcoins which has led to strong believes that the altcoin dominance against bitcoin has grown large. That aside; it is also important to note that for every bull run, there will be little or huge corrections (price retrace). It is up to you to get it right.

as a rule, as strong the growth, as stronger the fall, and the stronger the fall, the stronger the growth. I think that in the near future we can see the price of bitcoin 14 thousand and then the fall of both bitcoin and altcoins.

Bitcoin's bullish trend and DeFi hypes made the cryptos to get more attention from the investors that is why the prices increased a lot in the recent days.Price fluctuation is very normal in cryptos so you can't expect the stable value from it and the price are more likely to increase in the near future.

the right way for now is just waiting while monitoring because market conditions are unstable and could fall free if everything looks good then invest in a coin that has good quality in order to get profit in a short time

If you dont expect this fluctuation then you still new in the game. The beautiful thing now is that every dump or sideway movement in bitcoin price is capable of short price pump for favorable altcoins.  Buy as many altcoins with great fundamental and good exchanges now if you care about profit, daily traders may have fun for a while before the bullrun market could restrict the trade

It is true that the cryptocurrency market has been in a very good position for the last three-four months. Hopefully all the crypto related coins will gradually reach a good position. Best wishes for all altcoin.

Nahhhh. I don't expect anything with altcoins.
Right now I'm just focusing on ETH and waiting for LINK to consolidate a bit coz it got too much hype these past few weeks.

I'm not saying that all of them are shitcoins but most of them are shitcoins. Probably there are some which isn't considered one but most of the coins that are below the top 100 coins in CMC are considered shitcoins for me.
Ohh wait there is one shitcoin in the top 10 in Coinmarketcap right now.

I think this is common in crypto when the crypto market returns from bearish season this type of fluctuation you will feel every day. So be patient and hold your assets for some more time when market stabilize.

Still have faith with those or all altcoins as long as they are still on that moderate level we have nothing worry unless if that is really in its high risks level, that is really problematic to all of us but nevertheless we can still trust and have faith that they will be on their right track.

What we have experiencing in crypto is just normal. It is not something that we should consider as dramatic condition since it have been happening all the time. Just do nothing, always be patient and wait for the right timing. Getting a ride with the wave of the crypto is very risky, that's why we should never take an action on its every movement.

Nothing to do than to hold your altcoins very tight and wait till you get a green signal from the market, currently the market is red but should come back up in few days to come.

It maybe OP had forgotten that we live in a volatile market. I'm not sure if he has that patience since I notice that he was mad seeing the price keeps moving up and down. He believes in crypto but not it brings them too much confidence to hold until the market surge.

A lot of people behaving like this, they investing crypto but never understand the volatility risk it comes. Because they always thinking of easy money, they think about the price to keeps high after investing which surely won't be behaving that way.

it is clearly stated that cryptocurrency is volatile. you can loose your money within seconds or you can gain huge profit with the same mins. it is advisable to trade or invest with caution. make sure you invest what you can loose to avoid loosing your money to scams. the possiblity of investing in a scam project without doing any research can lead you to loose your funds.

that's why i've stopped trade some altcoins and started to invest most of my money on bitcoin from the beginning of this year. i've got so many loss from putting my money in altcoins, even in ETH. if you are trader. all you can do for now is monitoring your alts frequently. because the altcoins price will change easily in no time.

we should try to make a selection of which altcoins will last for a long time. because if we are too happy in the euphoria of the increase in altcoins, this will certainly affect our profits because not all altcoins will be in an uptrend and we will easily lose if we are not smart in analyzing our coin choices.

I noticed it after you informed us. My new favorite coins are doing the same thing, even though I don't know what we should do. Now I want to see the price of Alchemy tokens. Marketcap is fluctuating because altcoins price is fluctuating. There is a high probability to increase the price but next so the correction.

This is no drama, it's just a normal phase in crypto when the market fluctuates, if you (op) ask what to do? I will advise to hold, all depends on the token you invested in. But at this time of market instability, all we gat do is to hold and see the final market direction. Crypto is about patient and not a quick to get rich space.

As a user without large funds, I can only adjust to the flow generated by the whale. there really is nothing that can be done about it, fluctuations are a common thing in crypto. So you need to do what you need to do, you know like adjusting the flow of the market, creating new strategies to stay afloat in the altcoin market, and all of that for the respective users. Actually if we think more critically then we can conclude that the good things to do in the market today, which can make a profit.

we cannot beat whales.  we can say that we have a large funds but we know to our self if the funds we have is over than what the whales have or not . if not , we are going to adjust not the whale themselves .

you as large fund user your already doing a good job but for the others that have a small fund , they complain instead of thinking a way to combat situation so they end up loosing .

I am one of the many people who are waiting for the alt season to rise again, I hope it will be like 2017, but recently when BTC was in a bull trend, alt fell to the bottom, can DeFi be able to bring alt to revive?
Really a wanna get out from this dramatic condition.

I think this is a new approach in the newnormal all began to rise and i think you need to be patient , and to market fluctuant i think it is common just the moment begun from the market collapse which began to bounce back

Anything will be possible and its normal if we see these tokens variety every time. It seems the effect of the current situation over the whole affects the price of cryptocurrency. If traders will too much aggressive throughout the short period of time they might lose if their analysis is wrong. Bounce back will happen if the price of bitcoin will suddenly up and crypto trends will surround the social media and other platform.

reflecting unfortunately no one can guarantee that altcoins can bounce because the current altcoin price depends on the price of bitcoin, if you look at the condition of bitcoin prices which are already very difficult to increase prices or price recovery then it is unlikely that altocin will bounce, at least the price of bitcoin must be increased first after that, altcoins will definitely suppress the price movement.

So what do you expect from the crypto market, price stability that will make you comfortable? Dude come on, crypto value is very volatile and can change quickly, and most people like to play there because they can "Hit" and "Run" as fast as they want.

even stock price fluctuates a lot! it's such an obvious thing that an alts that has significantly lower market capital, more vulnerable to manipulation could become more volatile if compared to stock. heck, even money is actually fluctuates every hour but average joe just doesn't care.
the alts will always fluctuate even in the far future ahead except stablecoin which actually isnt really stable so just embrace it and accept it. You need to consider also that alts perform relies heavily on the project development.

There's nothing you can do about it because that's when ico created a huge hype in 2017 and now new defi projects are running to create that kind of hype. Also if you have good skills in trading then you can spend time and money there. Otherwise if you have less experience with trading then hold on and be patient. If you have patience at this time, you will get good profit in the future, so you have to use the right time and this is the skill of a crypto user.

This is crypto. Price fluctuation is what makes it interesting, and that is why we have stablecoins, isn't it? 

The best thing we can do in this kind of situation is to patiently wait. If we tried to get along with the wave of altcoin, we will only get ourselves having more losses. So we should better be holding our altcoins and wait for the right time for it to increase, or if it decreases, use that opportunity to increase your holdings.

These effects could be right in some altcoins, especially Tron blockchain, Vechain or Chainlink. This coin price is dumped half in one or two months. There were the top coin lists to buy at a low price, out of top we could grab a lot of opportunities. Some of my favorite coins were also dumped. Since yesterday only Bitcoin price has been good but the top altcoins price is still dumped.

Seems like the bubble of Defis is bursting after all these rugs and bugs in some good coins , people are losing trust and yesterday some of them like BZRX wend down 30% , Seems like this fashin is over and bitcoin dominance is going up again .

Sorry but Fluctuating is part of crypto market,the Volatility and the decentralization is way that's why it is normal that we will have this kind of market movement.

So what is that Stable that you are asking?

What you mean you wanted the price get stable in a certain value while the market is going?if this will happen then for sure investors will never enter because that means market is not healthy.

The prices must move up and down to prove that this is a active trading market.

I think it's one of the normal things that will happen during the bull run (or bear run) as people are booking profits and the volumes in the exchanges are higher. Nothing to worry about.

I think it's no longer a news that new drama has started in altcoin.
Altcoin it seems stable in the market not knowing that is not too stable compare to bitcoin in the market.Altcoin some time pump and dump because, in this season is try to repeat his self like what happened some years ago.
Altcoin is not pumping like the way others  pump in every season and make people confuse when it is dump. Altcoin has is own time to be filling stable in the market.

it's because he doesn't know how profit-seeking people work in the crypto market. he must first separate stable assets from other crypto assets. he should also learn how to trade properly by studying the assets and charts in the market. when all that he knew, I was sure he would never have that view again.

yes, some altcoins did drop a few percent but if you look at etherum as the biggest altcoin, it still shows a good chart. I don't think this is so bad, if etherum is still on the green chart. When etherum breaks the $ 400 mark, I'm sure the altcoin market will be back on the mend.

This kind of advice has been given by many others and it is true that an investor must have good Bitcoin and Altcoin for this, but for investors it is clear that they already know about this because they also know which coins are good and which are not very nice.

It's best to have both if you have good amount of spare money.

Diversification is very important in order for you to rinse whatever trend is approaching,  both bitcoin and alts always find it's own time to move upward. if you have good amount  of invested money, you just need to wait which is which that will move favoring your assets
then wait for the rest to move as well.

No, because before the existence of stablecoins Price fluctuations on the crypto market had already occurred and you don't need to say this is crypto, because everyone knows it too, and about that price fluctuation happened long ago before the stablecoin was launched.

I personally don't see any drama in this. It would be much more dramatic if the price of altcoins only went down, or even stood still. If there is a price fluctuation, then there is a trading process and the asset has supply and demand. Moreover, such a fluctuation provides an excellent opportunity for traders to trade cryptocurrency, on which I am sure they make good money. I think that there is no need to worry, but it is better to believe in the best and pay more attention to the ongoing events in the crypto industry.

Indeed for now it is very difficult to choose an altcoin that can rise and stay at the highest number, because the price that we have seen only briefly survived a high and finally come back down in a moment, so we as crypto users should be in altcoins that have potential and can we invest in the long term and do not choose a new altcoin growing because the risk is very high.

Trade fast and analyze the market over time if you are buying a very volatile altcoin.
especially the defi token because it is experiencing very high hype.
but for major coins such as btc, eth, xrp, and several other coins long term is still a safe choice.

some altcoins rose because they were supported by market conditions So it's only natural that when market conditions are bad the altcoin will go down
so it's not drama it is real even established coins of all things must be supported by market conditions but if the altcoins are bad it will certainly fall more
and it's hard to go up

Indeed, current market conditions can be an important influence on cryptocurrency price movements, but you must know that the price of coins will not be able to easily rise without the support of the latest developments that can trigger investors and whales to buy and support it, if not there is such a difficulty it will be difficult to survive the high price.

this is not a drama this may have been destined like this, because every market will follow the conditions it creates naturally, such as fomo defi, uniswap, and there will be many more.every year crypto will have the kind of market that will pump the crypto price itself like defi for this year, IEO for last year and maybe something new will emerge in 2021.

The market today is experiencing very bad fluctuations, altcoins have unusual price changes. Inexperienced investors can easily fall for fomo if they run after the prices of those altcoins.
It is best for people to be careful with their investments, not to invest in currencies with huge fluctuations in the market.

Hello everyone. What I want to say - you shouldn't be going for price, but for value. Choose the field you are interested in and try to look for real solutions that solve some real problems. And I personally look at the ones that are coming with some bold solutions that stay for higher reliability

What you say sounds rational. And are you having many fields you are following?

No, wouldn't say so. I am big fan of some that prevent bots messages and are aimed at better experience on the Internet. And thus, I noticed many issues, mostly connected with frauds. And found only one solution that sharply helps with bold tech.

What is the one? Can you outline? Curious to know after your message that guys are the only unique ones you've found

The one I am following is hCaptcha. hCaptcha is designed to solve the most labor intensive problem in machine learning: labeling massive amounts of data in a timely, affordable, and reliable way. More data generally produces better results in training machine learning models. The recent success of deep models has led to increasingly large datasets, almost always with some human review. However, creating large human-reviewed datasets via Mechanical Turk, Figure Eight, etc. is both slow and expensive. hCaptcha allows websites to make money serving this demand while blocking bots and other forms of abuse. Google them to check more

One thing to keep in mind is that investments do fluctuate so the best thing to do is to select a project/token/coin you think will withstand this volatility. Also, when investing in any coin do be prepared to lose it too. Overall, there is nothing you can do to control this fluctuation the best option is to chose carefully and trust the project, also be super patient.

i think, Maximizing the opportunity to ride the market is the best thing to do, although it is risky. Most altcoin pumps and dumps depending if there's a massive movement in BTC since most of them are paired on it. People start dumping their altcoin whenever the BTC price starts rising.

Expect that there is more market price fluctuations every now and then because that is the nature of crypto market. Altcoins and bitcoin do not have stable prices as they are very volatile and keep dumping or pumping their prices. So we have no choice but to wait for the market to be stable and just buy its dip and hold until the price starts to pump.

This is the cryto world. Nothing is certain and always changes both the price and the pattern. In my opinion, make it a habit to always "wait and see" before choosing and determining our next investment steps.

Yes, everything is possible in the crypto market, it is very likely to go to the moon tomorrow but it could also become a landfill.
However if you always wait and see, you will miss the opportunity to make money.

I don't think there's anything wrong with Altcoin. Bitcoin is one of the main reasons for the price going up and down. If you pay a little attention, it's understandable that the price of Bitcoin is going up and down very fast. For this reason, the price of the Altcoin is not fairly stable. So when the price of Bitcoin is going down a lot, the situation in the whole market is getting worse.

Yes, but it doesn't exist, because Bitcoin was not created for coins in a stable category, so that everyone can find surprises in prices every year, likewise with gold which is not included as a stable item because the price always tends to go up even though in the long term and only a slight decline occurred in the short term.

there is an interesting opinion about gold, where sometimes gold is used as an asset that has price fluctuations, and also bitcoin. We all know that the dollar also experiences price fluctuations. There must be one asset against which other assets are measured. And I think that all this time Gold has become the axis of all assets in the world.

We take an example, namely in an era where the Arab country where the Arab government or kingdom had a currency made of gold. This currency is called the Dinar. The dinar has intrinsic value because it is made of gold, so when this coin is broken into two or three parts, the value will remain the same.
To buy a goat in Saudi Arabia, we had to spend 1 Dinar 100 years ago, and this year the price is still equivalent to 1 Dinar for one goat. That means, Gold is an asset axis of all assets in this world. The value of gold is fixed, it's just that the value of paper currency always fluctuates.

All we need is to be patient because the market is about to change for our good. This is the season many feel to give up on  altcoin not knowing that is about to put smile on investors face. I think this is the season when altcoin will be stable all the time.

there is no other choice but to do that and of course to remember that you have to be able to place a sell order at a high price first before you decide to leave the exchange and focus more on the real world because actually when you apply that strategy you will not miss a golden opportunity to sell at a high price.

Not only wait and see but always on the look for the right project to invest and the right time to sell and buy coins, there's always drama in the community the latest of which are the DeFi projects and the Kucoin hacking, there's always a lot of things happening in the Cryptocurrency and it always has an impact on the market.

Yes, every drama has an impact, like the ongoing COVID  which makes the economy of every country decline and every year there are always new surprises that make many people talk about it.  I hope that no more major exchange hacks happen to bring comfort and peace of mind to every cryptocurrency user

What can you do! Nobody can do anything because fluctuation is part of crypto market, the best thing to do when things are like that is hold and be patient,  I think you are very new to this space so os the reason why you find it strange, for those of us who have been here for quite some time now already familiar with this, all you can do is stay calm and don't panic.

The Chinese holiday is approaching and any crypto enthusiasts will have seen this coming but just after today am certain the market will be in uncertainty for sometime till after the holidays are over, probably 8th October
Personally am out of all trades

Nothing that is normal in altcoins. Fluctuations always happen anytime and that is normal to altcoins especially of whales are playing pump and dump scheme. There are many of this coin in the market that has been like this but we could anything for it for the coins had been hold to different users and they had the decision to make on what to do with their coims either to dump it or pump it.

Just do not get emotional when things get worst. If you are a bounty hunter and receving a tokens might be good to sell 50% of the reward and 50% will be hold so that whenever it gets pump you can still enjoy earning profits.

Atall there is nothing you can do than to keep following the trend, altcoins dropping constantly is normal as there is nothing like stable price in cryptocurrency, my only advice for you is to trade wisely.

I think in that case we should use tight stop loss nowadays market is fluctuating a lot so there is a high chance of coming market down so we can limit our portfolio and we can also sell our coin which we think that this particular coin can go down

isn't the price of a coin in the market always fluctuating? and it will happen every time. So there's no need to wonder why altcoins change all the time or their prices don't last long. and this is usually used by altcoin traders to get short profits. all you have to do is take advantage of the situation for positive things, especially how you can benefit in a situation like this.

Like what we always told here in forum that no unstable word fits in cryptocurrency. Fluctuations of values in the market are inevitable, no one can predict what coin or token are going to be the next trend or it is still the dominating token which is bitcoin. But as what i have observed in the market recently i checked the value of the coin in the blockfolio the values of the altcoin is not so far that good but not that bad. I'd still hope for the best in the altcoins in the next following months.

As for trading advice, I think it has also been said by many others in the past, but yes, for now, following the trend is an important thing in looking for profits, but you have to be careful of any traps made by scammers in the past. this trend, because they also take advantage of the opportunity to deceive many people.

Huge volatility on the altcoin market is no "drama", its just a regular occurrence on the market. Right now the market sentiment circles around uncertainty, so people are still unsure what to do, if exit their positions or long their holdings, so this of course results in big price swings, there is no way around it.

The new drama at this time is that the president of the United States is infected with the Covid19 Virus and has an impact on the USD price in all trades, there may be a panic that causes the dollar price to drop suddenly and there is a price decline from a few days ago, does anyone know about the President Donald Trump in this thread ??

I might be mistaken, but it seems that these days altcoins movements depend a lot on the situation with COVID-19. If a new wave is officially declared, most people will have to stay at home using internet services. Crypto will be in a bigger demand, and the best altcoins will start climbing.

I don't know if altcoin prices still connected to the price of bitcoin on each of its movements. There are many times this year that when bitcoin got noticeable pumps, Altcoin doesn't move with it and this is the opposite of what cryptomarket way back 2017 which I believe and experienced that every movement of bitcoin price affects the price of altcoins.  This is my belief before that got me in trouble by expecting altcoins to go up when bitcoins pumps. Market changed  :-[

Now everything is changing very radically, because the altcoins react to any movement of the bitcoin. And they do not react well, because they fall with any movement of bitcoin, whether it rises or falls, but altcoins still fall. This is very alarming, because it may indicate that traders are leaving altcoins for bitcoin, and this will not have a very good effect on the development of altcoins.

The fluctuating market shows good volatility and thus brings up good opportunity for cryptocurrencies traders. But at the same time need to worry for medium term investors. I think market is settled now and awaiting for news which will drive it to either direction.

Of course, if the market doesn't fluctuate then the trader won't make a profit. After halving a few month ago, I think the market is doing well and is profitable. Some argue that the current market condition are somewhat stable compared to before halving. Although the last few days have experienced a slight decline, it is still within reasonable limit. I think we should be a little careful with the current market condition as sideway are usually difficult to predict and there could be a deeper downside just because of some unpleasant news.

I hope that in the next few months when the Covid 19 pandemic ends the crypto market will also improve, maybe the current altcoin price is unstable because of this pandemic outbreak,

the attitude of the crypto market always moves like that or changes all the time. My advice that you should do is not to panic if you see it fluctuate. Learn to follow the waves and be calm at all times. It is relatively good to conclude that if you are not prepared to admit a loss, you are better off making the decision by buying Bitcoin or a stable coin which is generally considered a safe investment like USDT.

I think altcoins will rise in the last months of the year because the impact of the pandemic has started to gradually decrease around the world. Besides, states announced economic recovery packages in response to COVID-19. I predict that these packages will increase the value of gold and altcoins.

I think we have to wait and see. bitcoin is in a bearish trend. better to wait than to lose. you can try binance futures if the price goes down you will get a profit

In fact, 3 or 4 months ago were the best market conditions after the massive decline in last May.
I am sure that until the end of the year the market will still be sluggish until there is another break at the beginning of the year.
then in 2021 maybe the market will try to rise if indeed a bull run will occur at that time.

The market have been relatively bearish for a while, Bitcoin has not showing any direction, it's survived between the  $10,200-$11,000 range while altcoin market have taken downfall. Overall, the whole market is down. Everything will be back up at once. A lot of people wouldn't still accept that.

That's reality, there are still unpredicted movements coming from bitcoin and the whole market are being affected.

We also need to consider that from time to time there are lots of new coins and the investment coming from investors who are actively participating are splitting up.

We are all hoping that in anyhow the bull will show up and bring those known alts to a much better price.

Even though all market prices are still showing stability and haven't seen any significant direction yet, it would be much better to wait for the next drama drama because we won't know the drama that will be released in the future that, the market is still showing an uncertain stability.

those are common thing, normally happened in crypto market.but nowadays it seems too much as you said.whales are responsible behind this thing & normal traders have nothing to do with this matter. If you are a short trader, you might be make loss cause indicators & strategies aren't going to work properly during this situation.possibly long trade  can reduce loss.and If you are a holder, then nothing is worry about

It not good to believe every trend the market shows was played by the whales when the arbitrage traders were to be blame sometime and I think they are also behind this current market trend either after the Paypal statement.

Cryptocurrencies are just full of FOMO and hype. What do you expect? High demand from mainstream users? Of course, not. Cryptocurrencies are not at that stage yet, so it's only natural for price movements to be controlled based on FOMO.

and the signs seem to rise and fall. There are a few big waves then quickly disappear, so if you don't really understand the analysis you will be easily trapped, even now, analysis techniques are not enough, luck also plays a big role, because market movements are very unpredictable and full of surprises.

I prefer to wait and see, not force my way into the market because I realize that my abilities are still lacking and tend to get carried away with emotions. We are all looking forward to the alt season where everyone cheers with much-missed market movements like in 2017.

These volatilities are natural in the cryptocurrency market and are not drama or something strange, you have to understand the market and know when to sell and when to buy and your investment will be safe in it. In light of prices volatilities, you should not sell, you must hold altcoins until the market improves and until altcoins reach their highest levels.

Altcoins were never be stabilize since it is fluctuating everytime in crypto market. However we should bear in mind that there isn't precise predictions for altcoins fluctuation. Sometimes it rises and we do not know whether it would continue to increase or decrease, but i know that increasing and decreasing value of an altcoin isn't permanent thing.

I don't call this condition drama, but this is a common situation. In crypto everything is unpredictable, so you must prepare yourself

So what should we do? Patience is key, no one you can do except patient and wait until the price goes up, and don't too panic or greedy

Since the price of altcoin do change really quick,

It is better not to get along with its wave especially if you cannot take the risk. Might be better to wait for your chance to enter on the crypto you are planning to buy. Or you can just buy the crypto you want then hold it.

For me you have to study the coins you are going to invest in, and not rush into decisions about the volatile price of altcoins. Fast crypto price movements are normal, there is no certainty that the price will always be good.

crypto market is like that, conditions will continue to fluctuate. it's never going to be stable, that's what makes it interesting and that's what keeps you and me here.  :)

if you don't want to take big risks but want to invest, you should buy the crypto you want and study it first. if you have got the hang of it, you can decide to buy it and hold it. it will reduce the risk of losing a little bit and remember don't be too greedy, i think it will save you.

Is FOMO that bad? This FOMO of a thing make be get back few money I lost years ago to crypto, FOMO isn't that bad it's left for everyone to know how to take advantage of this so called FOMO, it's not a bad thing but people only tend to get greedy is all.

You are right, I don't know why people hate price fluctuations that badly when this is what makes the whole crypto space reasonable, it's on you if you can't control your patience, the volatility will always exist and only stable coins will be left out, the best advice I can share is always take profit, a coin that surge today will surely go down tomorrow

Usually, altcoins follow the bitcoin chart if we don't see sharp moves from bitcoin , when it creates big candles wheater it's green or red, altcoins start bleeding because the money from altcoins goes to bitcoin or go out of the market.

True, there is no certainty that the price of Altcoin will always be good and many even make predictions on each Altcoin price, but what they predict is that everything is far from the initial estimate, so it would be great for everyone to learn which coins to invest in and not rush into making a decision.

Now altcoins are not having the best time, wherever bitcoin goes, altcoins still start to fall. If bitcoin is growing, then this can be explained by the fact that funds are being poured from alts into bitcoin. But if Bitcoin starts to fall, why are the alts falling again? Is it possible that funds are being poured from alts into bitcoin again to buy bitcoin at a lower price? Anyway, I think that now altcoins are having difficult times and there are not many who want to buy them now.

well, if you're looking to pursue a price recovery, it's best to choose bitcoin for now. So, you need to convert your altcoins to bitcoins. it's just that if you want to change your token and want to follow the wave of bitcoin.

So far, I also think holding back is the best decision for altcoins right now. However, things are pretty bad out there. even ethereum-class coins are not growing very fast. So far, I am still holding on to altcoins, because I believe that after bitcoin season, altcoin season will arrive. Well, that's not a very strong speculation, but I decided to hold back rather than exchange bitcoins.
