We have often witnessed in the bull run that Bitcoin's value increases and once it becomes stable at a certain limit that's when bull run officially starts for Altcoins and we have seen same cycle in previous two bull runs. But, this time we are witnessing a different scenario as we have seen increase in the price of Bitcin but it's yet to reach ATH and it's still continuing to increase but Altcoin's are going bonkers and having more than 100% increase and it's not limited to few but most of the Altcoin is following similar trend.

Should be consider this as new trend wherein Altcoins will have bullrun before Bitcoin? Or this is once in a blue moon thing? It cannot be a bull trap since it's happening for multiple Altcoins.

Actually the reason for this is, since Bitcoin of he first crypto coin, not all altcoins can be bought directly. For you to buy them, you first need to buy bitcoin and then swap to those altcoins. And before you can sell them, you still need to swap to bitcoin before you can sell. So its more like Bitcoin is the intermediary of those coin. So when the price of Bitcoin increase they also increase and when Bitcoin decrease they decrease, any trend Bitcoin takes they follow. However from my point of view of things, it seems they will experience the bull run with Bitcoin. Change is constant, anything can happen anytime so just be prepared for anything that might come.

Well Ive noticed it too but who knows what indicates this. But maybe we are still far from bull run and this is just a massive activity on altcoins cause some people are literally giving a lot of funds to the market and starting to invest and even the losers or lose a lot are already coming back since the market is going good. Institutions also are going in maybe ita a good sign and will contribute to a more comprehensive bull season.

I think it's the old method. Altcoins can also be purchased with stablecoins, although I don't trust any of them.
One for sure bitcoin is the major pair in cryptocurrency market, when bitcoin going up then altcoin just follow bitcoin trend.
This kind of thinking almost everyone uses it also people intend to sell bitcoin for altcoin when the price of bitcoin go up
And when bitcoin is going down, usually they will convert all altcoin for bitcoin. thats why when bitcoin drop, people intend to sell their altcoin for bitcoin.

Do you really think this happening now. I remember I never bought Bitcoin to buy any Altcoin. I mostly deposit the USDT and almost every Altcoin has the pair with USDT. And mostly I use this stable coin.
And scenario that how Altcoins perform well when Bitcoin go up. I think the reason is that mostly Altcoin keep Bitcoins for reservation. And behind a project there will be Bitcoin directly or indirectly.
We have an example of Terra Luna we saw that Do Kwon reserves Bitcoin and after that he sell all the Bitcoins to save Luna but he was scamming so that was a Biggest Drama which he made.
But which you Sharen it is an old method.

The connection between Bitcoin and altcoins is a connection that many have tried to break, but all attempts have been unsuccessful, how long this connection will last is unknown, so for now it should be treated as par for the course. If Bitcoin rises or falls, it can only mean one thing - the cryptocurrency market has begun to move.

Bitcoin's clearly the big dog in crypto land.  Whenever its price starts climbing, seems like everyone wants to jump on the bandwagon - the whole mood in cryptocurrency shifts and people get excited to buy up the smaller altcoins too.  It's become the reference currency that other cryptos peg themselves too. 

So Bitcoin leads, and the rest of the pack tends to follow.  Its price swings up and down, and the other cryptos trace along and  there's a natural correlation there.  When Bitcoins moving up money flows outwards to the whole space.  It's like the tide rising for all boats.

Which altcoin has reached 100% in the current market? Can you list a few that you think have? I haven't seen any single one, those that are in green are either those that have been newly listed. The existing one are still way below their ATH and before halving they wouldn't reach that point. As Bitcoin keeps going in green so do altcoins. Nothing has changed from previous bill run in the current market situation.

A lot of people associate bitcoin with the rest of what cryptocurrencies have to offer so they think that since bitcoin is way too expensive to buy they can just buy some ‘dupe’ and wish that it would reach the same value or profit as bitcoin does

trading or investing has a lot of psychological factors that impact the overall activity of the market it is mostly FOMO that a lot of people are experiencing hence the reason for their behaviors

If we see the market few weeks back, Bitcoin are already moving towards a bull run, but then it falling again. I would say that this could be related to the Bitcoin Ordinals BRC-20, because Bitcoin blockchain can't handle the massive transaction of Ordinals. The effect is that Bitcoin transaction were getting slower, this definitely affecting Bitcoin price. And maybe some of those impatient people are moving to altcoins for faster transaction.

Indeed, your observation is accurate regarding correlation between Bitcoin and altscoins, a relation that has persisted for many years and there is no sign of any change. The recent surge Bitcoin price followed by altscoins is primarily attributed to the significant interest of financial institutions in Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, which are likely to be approved in January, 2024. ETFs approval can act as catalyst to further boost in cryptocurrencies market. DYOR

Nah, going to happen if we talk about a full bull run in altcoin market, it is going to still be dependent on bitcoin. We all know that trade pair is bitcoin/altcoin and so with that, they will have to wait what bitcoin will do first.

On the other hand, if we see a altcoin that is running way ahead of bitcoin, it could be just a normal pump and dump in the altcoin market as we have seen a lot of that kind of movement before. So before the altcoin market have it's bull run, it will have to wait for bitcoin first to move.

I would not assume the phenomenon that occurs in certain altcoins is part of a trend. Bitcoin is still strong and it is quite stable. indeed the situation will be good enough for altcoins to start the pump but that requires a market response, whether it will help and support the pump or not. if the market situation still doesn't allow it, I think altcoins will just pump following Bitcoin's movements.

You're right, bitcoin bullrun hasn't yet begin, things like this are just what is making it appears to look like so, same applies to the altcoins seasons, they have not yet begun, we may be already seing some making good performance with their recent market price, we should still be expecting more to come next year if the bitcoin ETF is application is approved and when halving occurred.

The bull run comes in stages and you could consider it as the first mini bull, Bitcoin price doubled in a matter of month which is still about half of the all time high. Similar are the scenario for most other altcoins. The total market is huge and just a push can't take it all the way up. Anyone buying at half price are more likely to sell at double. So, the first thing would be to retain and make current price the resistance. After there are many people buying at current price, the market would push for another bull probably hitting the new ATH for both bitcoin and the alts.

I wouldn't really chalk up the entirety of bullrun with Bitcoin only, altcoins themselves could have their own bullruns in their own phase, just that Bitcoin bullruns usually increase the attention towards the entirety of the market, hence more investors hence more coins go up. Not to mention that I don't even think we have a Bitcoin bull run? It's just a steady movement and slow increase so far imo, I'd expect the bullrun, if it ever happens to happen a couple more months later, at least half a year more I suppose.

Your analysis covers the dynamics of cryptocurrencies market, particularly in the context of bull run. Establishing a new price level which works as resistance is a common phenomenon of market. The recent price surge in Bitcoin and alts is a good example, how prices of asset solidify resistance level after a significant price surge. Consequently, market tend to move side ways within this range before eventually breaking out and embarking on new trajectory.

According to some analysts, the positive sentiment in market kicked off in last quarter of 2023 is an early stage of a bull market.

Even if it is a new trend, trends tend to fade away with time. In this case, I think the same will happen. History repeats itself. So the altcoin season after Bitcoin bull run will happen again. We see many dramas before Bitcoin halving, maybe this is one of them. So I will not bet everything on this as an altcoin bull run. Instead, I will see this as an opportunity and take advantage of it.

And when it's over, I will make sure to take my profit and exit. I am still not convinced that this is an actual bull run for altcoins. I'm still focusing on Bitcoin. Every investment is a risk and we grow by taking risks. If you can make profit from this then that's good for you but don't put everything in it thinking that this is the actual bull run. Because cautious about everything. It's the cryptocurrency market after all.

We can't say that Bitcoin has not moved so much having moved over $20,000 in just a few months, which is the highest in market capitalization increase among cryptocurrencies. But for the fact that Bitcoin is heavy is a problem on its own, there is no way altcoins will not outshine it since they are still light and cheap, they will respond better when minimal capital is injected into them. That aside, many altcoins moved when Bitcoin moved, and it can't be a misguided to say that almost all altcoins moved at that time because it was general, only that most of them didn't move so much.

But later, they started peaking, but even till now, some has not made significant movements but waiting for the bull run time of next year. That is how it always happens, there are some altcoins that will be moving when Bitcoin moves and there will be many that will move more when Bitcoin has stopped moving up. That is the trick in it and a reason why most people will not know which one to eventually HODL their money in if they are indecisive.

The most important thing is fear which control the price of tokens. when btc dumping then fear entered the market which create panic in market and no body want to freely invest but when btc start bullish motion then fear end start and people start accumulation of favorite projects. BTC start bullish motion from 30k$ to 45k$ where btc remained stable for almost one month. So far btc trade between 40k$ - 45k then we will see many altcoins stat pumping 100% in 24 hours as whales are doing all. most of the projects pumping reason is airdrops which will be given on the basis of staking and performing others task while some projects have some good news in the future. Injection and Solona are pumping due to airdrop trend.

this must be the kind where bull run has started even before the BTC halving. i read they call it the supercycle where bull run is bigger and its cycle is more than a year which probably means it started even before the halving year.

this hasn't happened yet in crypto afaik but if this continues til the end of year 2024, then the prices could go parabolic and could spike like they did last 2017.

I have similar understanding but the way altcoins started rallying even before Bitcoin made me think if it's a new trend than what we have seen all these years. I am sure we will have bull run post halving but this altcoins rally was something which was completely unexpected and this has led to lot of buying due to FOMO. But this period between now and Halving will be crucial for Altcoin as we need to see if altcoins manages to trade around same value or do we see some more fluctuations.

I think the connection between bitcoin and altcoins will last forever as long as cryptocurrency still exist.
When bitcoin goes to zero, the altcoin suffer the same fate.

Many people believe that when Bitcoin experiences an increase, the same thing will be followed by Altcoins, which is why many people hope to buy Altcoins or invest more in Altcoins so they can reap profits when the bull run occurs.  Even the increase in several Altcoins before the bull run occurred because the trading volume for Altcoins was greater than Bitcoin

And i believe when bitcoin reach new all time high there will be altcoin season because many people already lose money in bitcoin then they want to gamble with altcoin
I've seen this cycle twice and it will probably repeat itself

For me, I don't think we need a new all-time high of Bitcoin. What I am waiting for is a massive volume of altcoins and Bitcoin will go in sideways price, with no dumping or pumping. Then altcoins will make their own move to pump.
But you have a point also about the new all-time high of Bitcoin, because for sure some Bitcoin profits will transition to altcoins.

Certainly, fear and greed are important human emotions and they play crucial role in shaping up the  behavior, thereby influencing the overall mood of the market. The experienced investors learn to control their sentiments and avoid emotionally driven decisions, they enter the market with well defined plans and objectives, implementing long term strategy like Dollar Cost Average (DCA). This method allows them to take advantage of market volatility, accumulating Bitcoin and other major coins at comparatively lower costs, which ultimately results in substantial profit during the bull cycle.

This is not something new as in the precious cycle same things happen. Where ever bitcoin becomes stable after a rally altcoin project start booming and even new altcoin emerges in the market that gains billions of marketcap within a few weeks. But you need to aware of the end story as after these altseason project started to dump along with bitcoin, whales sell off their altcoin to buy bitcoin at a cheap price again. This is the usual cycle of the crypto market and this is just happening again.

Please can you explain what you mean by, "And i believe when bitcoin reach new all time high there will be altcoin season because many people already lose money in bitcoin then they want to gamble with altcoin". Are you saying after the ATH investors loose their money? Where did that theory come from? I can't even believe I'll find any saying we don't need a new all time high, it's like having 0.00001 out of a hundred percent who want separate thing. Anyway that is why Bitcoin is decentralized because of it wasn't, it would have been a mess. If Bitcoin were to move in the manner which you explained, several altcoins will also follow after that same trend. Only few gets to make their own movement aside from Bitcoin's trend.

There are most of the people who cannot buy bitcoin but have interest in investment therefore they initiate investment with the help of altcoins because it is clear prediction that whenever the price of bitcoin  surge then altcoins show increase too which is also a suitable way of earning.

So if someone cannot do investment in Bitcoin so there are thousands of altcoins in which most of them are now in pumping positions. It is also predicted that the Bull run will begun after bitcoin Bull season therefore don't sell your altcoins at lower worth but try to reap the benefit on due time.

Yeah true, even though I do not believe that we are on an altcoin bull run right now, I think it's quite possible that it could happen sometime soon. That means we are going to end up with something that could make some sense, and that should be the most important part. I am not saying that it will be a big deal, but there was a point when I thought it would be a bitcoin bull run earlier than I expected it to be. It has slowed down since so I think it is going to be fine, we are going to have a nice good bull run for bitcoin this year in 2024, and in 2025 I think it is more likely for an altcoin bull run would happen as well.

It is almost inevitable that it will happen, everyone knows that it will happen, it is just a matter of time. That means, we have a year to keep our money in bitcoin, and then we could pick whichever coin or token we think will go up, it is not going to be an easy thing to do, many people think that it is going to be very tough thing to pick the right one.

It is true that many investors prefer to invest in altscoins due to shortage of funds. Nevertheless, conducting due diligence and comprehensive research is crucial before committing their hard earned funds to any venture. It would be prudent to consider choosing from Top-20 cryptocurrencies listed on coinmarketcap, as they are well recognized with impressive performance history and relatively secure coins.

Could be one of those things but I'm still not sure if I will trust it fully to be a bull run. I don't know much about super cycle but I think people are trying to take advantage of the altcoins market and make as much profit as they can before halving so that they can invest more into Bitcoin later on. Could be a sentimental move in the market right now. But if this is what you are saying it is, then investing right now won't be a bad decision at all.
Then again, people have different choices and different opinion about things. As for me, I will stick to the old strategy. Old is gold they say. Let's see how that works out.

I actually think that this is a good thing for altcoins. As in previous history, when Bitcoin rises, altcoins will also rise. I think we're on the hype train. We haven't missed the train yet. But the problem is when this altcoin bullrun season will start and when it will end. Unlike Bitcoin which is very stable. Altcoins will have a phase where their prices will fall again and it will be difficult to return to the moon. So I think we have to remain wise in dealing with this situation.

I can agree with your analysis when you said that Bitcoin price is a determinant of altcoins prices, so when Bitcoin price increases investors sale to buy altcoins and when Bitcoin price starts to dip investors will likewise sale altcoins to buy Bitcoin. Again cryptocurrency adoption and investment awareness is increasing and many people are coming into it. When newbies hear about the testimonies of people that have doubled their investments many times in altcoins, it tends to increase investors, that'll increase their prices.

Those kinds of airdrops are useless to me. Just to be a qualifier, you have to make a deposit first. I'm not comfortable with those rules on airdrops, to be honest. That's why airdrops like that are no longer a trend or legit in the crypto space.

Because of the legitimacy of airdrops now or in this era, you must first use the platform of those who want to give airdrops to communities. In short, the participants must first enjoy the service platform that the coordinator of their airdrop program has. But it will be a few months before they start airdrops.

I don’t think this is what happens. Bitcoin as an intermediary? I think that people who trade altcoins are always using stablecoins like USDT. Bitcoin is on the Bitcoin blockchain, and it’s not a straightforward conversion to the target altcoin they want to purchase. But we have USDT on various blockchains and that makes it’s easy to trade any altcoin. But it is okay to share your own opinion, and I’m not directly saying you’re wrong, I just think it works differently. What I know that happens is that Bitcoin makes the move and then Altcoins follow. But let’s not forget that Bitcoin started this move, even if it’s been hovering for a while now.

Sometimes we tend to see such trends where even though Bitcoin may not be a good shape in terms of price and you see the altcoin making new ground and making new market trends and this is truly a cycle which can happen in both the Bitcoin market and the altcoin market also respectfully because we have also seen where and when Bitcoin make a bull run and altcoin still be in the floor through the trend.

But most time both the altcoin market and the bitcoin market move together as a chain and once the market picks in a bullish direction, it carries the market along both bitcoin and altcoin at the same time.

Altcoin need a slow process to find their bullrun season - of course after bitcoin has a bullrun. Investors don't necessarily invest more in altcoin when bitcoin has high market demand - but the movement of altcoin tends to be slower than bitcoin. Investors need confirmation that Bitcoin's price rise is not something that happens for a moment and then falls again - this allows them to avoid major losses on altcoin.

So far altcoin trading volume has never been greater than bitcoin - marketcap data proves it, so I disagree with your last point. You can look at the data in CMC or CG - then repeat it one more time for correct assumptions.

Bitcoins is still the basis and what we are seeing right now is just a normal trend and we know that in bull trend, every good crypto will also have the chance to pump and the altcoins are also part of it. If you are going to look into a brighter side, altcoins pump is a good one and for sure Bitcoin will also follow that. The dominance of Bitcoin is still present, what will happen to Bitcoin can also affect altcoins in the long run.

I think it is too early to say the altcoins season will have a different scheme. In theory, it will always be the same because people will focus on Bitcoin first as long as Bitcoin halving isn't started. And when the price increase significantly during and after the Bitcoin halving, people won't be attracted to altcoins. People will optimize the chance to gain huge profits on Bitcoin first. However, surely it has no guarantee that the altcoins season will remain the same scheme. So, it is not impossible to see a new scheme of altcoins season.

Anyway, not all altcoins already increased significantly. Some altcoins still begin to increase slowly, it seems following the trend of Bitcoin halving. The good news about ETF proposal also triggers the prices of altcoins to skyrocket. But I think it is still not the time for altcoins season, it is just a little improvement of the altcoins values.

Usually the altcoins bullrun will take place near or after the Bitcoin halving, or usually when Bitcoin is also in a bullish era. However, it is possible that this cycle is not true for all altcoins. Because we have lots of altcoins, both old and new, of course they have their own phases, especially those that are still new or certain coins that in fact have something that can push these coins to skyrocket before the bullish era of Bitcoin occurs. For example, SOL's development is quite surprising. Once again, cycles in crypto space may change. And it's possible that each coin will be different. That's why we always check our portfolio to see whether it meets the target or not so that we don't miss out on opportunities to take profits. However, I myself am sure that when Bitcoin is bullish, most altcoins will also follow suit.

During the bull market all cryptocurrency pumps, it doesn't matter if its a good cryptocurrency or not and when you see a cryptocurrency pumping don't think it's a good cryptocurrency that's why it's pumping. Scammers also pump their scam coins during the bull market so they can sell their tokens to new individuals just entering the market and thinking they can make big profits like what they see on social media from influencers and the profits that they're making.

Without Bitcoin pumping altcoins won't pump as altcoins are depending on Bitcoin. During the bull market, Bitcoin would have to pump first therefore if that hasn't happened yet we haven't entered the bull market. What is happening to the market isn't the bull market but as many individuals are waiting for the bull market, they're buying cryptocurrency and it's affecting the price therefore making it to look like a bull market.

In either of the case, all what I'm waiting for is the expected bull run. Bitcoin has a great effect on the position of most altcoin. Although not all altcoin will make it again in the next bull run but one can still get some with good potential with good research.

First, you have to explain which altcoin rose drastically by 100%? I think the price movements of some altcoins alone cannot represent other altcoins. and even as far as I know, the movement of large altcoins such as ETH and BNB in a positive trend this time still tends to be the same as bitcoin price movements.

In a season where #altcoins are flying, I’m excited at the potential of all the altcoins and as so I have been bagging a lot of tokens without even knowing them.

With the utilities attached to this gem and integration of innovative features of altcoins, its poised for 100x pump so I think, but still risking what I can afford to loose!

That's just my speculation based on Bitcoin data charts so far. It's not nessesary need a new all-time high for bitcoin.
Most altcoin now gain some momentum more than 10 to 50% up
Usually yes, when people buy bitcoin sometimes they will go shooping for altcoin

The market has seen a lot of faster in the past few months, when the price of bitcoin was stable above $ 43k, and then came to see great bounces in different coins. Crypto currency markets have good coins, but not all have the capacity, If you are buying without research and knowledge, you are not getting any information about these tokens, So of course you can get more loss than profit. The reason for this is that sometimes when the market is going up, many Coins are also pumped that have no future, but their pumps are timely. Those who invest in it can get a loss rather than earn a profit.

So, your unknowing buying decision is not correct. Secondly, there are thousands of coins in the market right now. All these coins can never give 100x return, but there are very few coins that can give you 100x return so you should think a lot while choosing. Cryptocurrency carries risk with profit. It should never be ignored, but our best picks can definitely help reduce it.
​

Are you looking for a coin with an increase of up to 100% within 2023?

Yes, the altcoin lineup does have a lot of flow, especially eth, I don't hesitate to keep eth even though the price is so high or even when the price continues to drop dump, I remain confident. it's not as deep as Bitcoin but the percentage may be similar, for me eth is the only altcoin that can recover up to half of the current ATH throughout 2023.
===========================================================

During the pump season including coin cloning, fraud and unclear projects also participate in the pump, this should be a concern even when rising to manipulate and when rugpull and just run away, moments like this are very vulnerable especially if the project claims benefits that make no sense, it is too sweet to believe, the boast will become poison.

It is better to buy major altcoins at this time, if you can save because waiting for the bearish season to approach halving can certainly go up again in Q1 2024.

Yes, this phenomenon often occurs after a strong bull run in Bitcoin, where investors and traders try to diversify their cryptocurrency portfolios and allocate altcoin funds. Investors may consider increasing their positions in certain altcoins that they believe have strong growth potential. Many traders try to time market cycles by strategically entering and exiting positions in altcoins based on the performance of Bitcoin and the broader cryptocurrency market. I think most altcoins follow the same pattern, but trust should be placed on established coins in the market from the past.

Others only invest in some legit new altcoins because they are aware of others that have no real updates and have only been created for the purpose of pump-and-dump scams so that they can fool investors. This is their old tactic and most people are fallen into this due to their lack of knowledge when they choose their first altcoins to invest their money with. If only they had taken some time to learn how to protect their investment from these kinds of projects we could have seen a few fake projects but they don't usually do that step and the result is we often see new altcoins created for that very purpose every month.

Bitcoin was the trigger and it will continue to happen. when Bitcoin is bullish then some altcoins will also be bullish following the price of bitcoin such as ETH which always follows the price of Bitcoin. If Bitcoin's dominance decreases and Bitcoin tends to stabilize, this will be an opportunity for altcoins to start recovering in price so that there will be an Alt season that everyone is waiting for. We will be close to the next altseason, so we need to get ready with the assets we hold.

Well said, Bitcoin is a major lead to the performance of almost all the altcoins, however, during the bullrun, it's not all the currencies that rises along together with Bitcoin, some do fall at such particular moment while after the bullrun they rises again while some never did, we can see the way some coins perform well even when Bitcoin is not rising and they do that because they have a lot of genuine investors ready to take the project to the next phase, at the e end of it all, we are all taking the risk for choosing alts for our investment.

Ever since the altcoins never made their own trend, they only just followed Bitcoin. In the current situation, I can't say it was a bull trap but still, we need to be careful in choosing a coin to invest. Since the price of Bitcoin is charging high, it is expected for some altcoins to pump as well but for some reason why we should be careful because some of them are fake pumps. You'll be asking why this coin had pumping knowing that it was no use case, and why the demand increases knowing that it was shitcoins, we could be thinking about manipulation and that is what we have to avoid in falling such a trick.

Altcoins are doing well in this mini bull market of Bitcoin. All the altcoins I have seen last year were doing well even the newly created once like Eloncoin were doing good because when Eloncoin came it was rating very far from reaching one dollar and we were even deliberating that before Eloncoin will reach one dollar it will be 5 to 8 years to come but surprisingly, I saw the coin with $0.00033 which is very close to a dollar. And with that within 2 to 3 years it might hit one dollar. And the the coin is fast growing by listing in some of the exchanges in the in the cryptocurrency ecosystem Marketplace.

Yes it is a new trend for altcoins because the growing level is more than before. 

I think you are right but the thing is that any altcoins that is been listed in binance have a possibility of having positivity at any point in time, what I really want us to understand is that altcoins can be purchased directly if the altcoins is been listed in big exchange platform but a situation that is not been listed I believe that it be hard before you can equally swap it to another coin base on my understanding.

from the chart history. Usually after bitcoin ATH follow by altcoin season because they have bitcoin to spend

It's not because what you believe in, It's because buying power from altcoin/bitcoin pair.

For example the price of dogecoin is 1k satoshi at moment, one min later bitcoin price increase 10%.
Then trading bot automaticaly buying doge/stable coin pair and sell doge/bitcoin. So it makes people see if bitcoin price increase, altcoin always follow suit

Basically, I think when a bull market starts, all market positions change. We have seen many altcoins rise and move higher as Bitcoin rises. Accordingly, I think that altcoins, like Bitcoin, have started a bull market, and this season the market position is demanding from the lows to the highs. If the Bitcoin market reaches a peak ATH, then the altcoin market also tends to reach a peak ATH and the bull season begins in all coins.

You know quite well that the movement of bitcoin or the increment of bitcoin mean a lot in all cryptocurrencies because the movement of bitcoin in the market makes all other coins to have positive in the market as per say, so cryptocurrencies, falling and rising of bitcoin really affects other cryptocurrencies like altcoins so that is while I always said that bitcoin pilot the affairs of other cryptocurrencies in the market.

It changes in a way that prices or the direction is going upwards. If some coins are already there, they will just continue it. There is also a change in the position or ranking of the coins, as some can gain a huge volume, so they will overtake the other normal performing coins. There is no bull run yet that happened. What we saw are still a recovery from the recent bear market.

And BTC is the starter of it. The rest will just follow after it. All should hold on as it won't take long for us to witness those positive movements. Apart of that, it is also a good idea to keep adding more coins to our stash. And as usual, those must only be good coins only.

A bull run usually depends on BTC. Various altcoins started to bull when BTC run from the dip to the high price. Not all coins are equally bullish. If we look at the movements of some altcoins in recent times, we see that some coins are increasing in price while some coins are not increasing. If we look at XRP that coin has often stayed at the same position for a long time but some other coins have already increased multiples times. The bottom line is that some altcoins will continue to be bullish after a bull market begins, while some altcoins may even high in bullish momentum. As far as I know, this is how bull runs happen in the history of crypto.

The bullish growth of cryptocurrencies attracts a lot of attention, it is difficult not to notice such an even, this is a hot topic for discussion and analysis. The volatility and unpredictability of the cryptocurrency market allows it to become more and more interesting to new people. After the holidays, we will see in which direction the market will move and what mood we will encounter.

  Because of the upcoming bull run, many people are hoping that they will get a big profit by investing in other cryptocurrencies and meme coins. Now,  if they can pump suddenly, they can really get a big profit.

  There are other cryptocurrencies these days that really have potential in the market, as long as you really know how to choose crypto potential. And surely, in the end, you will get a profit from it. As long as you know when is the right time to sell.

It is not possible to say exactly what this indicates, but one should be prepared for anything. But generally, when the price of Bitcoin increases, the price of altcoin also increases.  Because there are many altcoins that require Bitcoin to buy and convert to BTC to sell.  When the price of that coin increases, it is converted into that coin and sold.  For this, the price of both may increase together.

I think we need to explore more to know why XRP still not moving at all.
Acording from XRP chart history (https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/xrp/), XRP ATH was in late 2017 since then XRP just nothing base on price movement in the past 5 years.
So i think we can exclude it

Indeed, the entire market is reliant on Bitcoin. With the current situation of the market, we can already say that it was on the bullish side. As we can see, some altcoins had already pumping which I believe that was an impact on the growth of Bitcoin price. As halving is expected to arrive a few days from now, the more we are expecting price rallies on Bitcoin which also drives the price of many altcoins to pump. Such a domino effect wasn't new to us, especially old-timers.

Last bullish season, XRP had a big problem with the SEC which made the price of XRP really drop and find it difficult to rise again. However, they actually had a chance to really rise before then dropping again. and currently XRP price is likely Matic, namely that it is still following the bearish era of several top altcoins. but it cannot be denied that the system is really different. So the point is that XRP itself is actually still quite worth it to hold on to in preparation for the bullish era. But once again, this is not financial advice, just my opinion because many people say that there are many other coins besides XRP that are better. but once again, everyone has their own preferences and plans.

That's the pattern that we see and it doesn't happen once in a blue moon and it's like that these two are always together.

As we talk about both of them, the other one which are the altcoins. Generally speaking, it is not all of them that are going to increase. We may see some of their deaths and greatness and that's a balance thing on this market when we see such.

The trend is changing gradually and with time we might have to blame ourselves why we never invested into the market for the money.
There are people that are still waiting for the market to change patterns before they start buying and trading it for a long move.
We don't have to be bothered about what others have to think about the market. The market is going to be profitable for us if we are ready and know how to enter the market with a big move that is going to be more profitable for us with time.

this used to be the case back in 2016, 2017 until 2019. but now Stablecoin has taken over that spot from bitcoin. you don't need to buy bitcoin to buy altcoins anymore. u need to buy stablecoins first to buy any altcoin. you can still buy Bitcoin directly without buying any stablecoins. so Bitcoin is still strong in that manner.
Nowadays thanks to large p2p exchanges such as Binance, you can even buy a lot of different altcoins directly from people all over the world.

I never think about the trend, the trend is changing with time. Bitcoin is not a vanishing currency. Bitcoin still dominates the crypto market. All cryptocurrencies are based on Bitcoin. Altcoins will pump up following Bitcoin's price movements. As we have always seen, the value of alt coins tends to strengthen along with the increase in Bitcoin price. However, despite the increase in the price of Bitcoin this time, not all alt coins could wake up. Although the price of altcoins has started to rise slowly in recent times. I think this matter will return to normal situation in a very short time

This is a misconception, both Bitcoin and altcoins can trigger the bull run, and many of these have happened in the past. That is why none of the coins/tokens can function alone in isolation, they can cause ripple effects depending on the reason for the reaction. Except that what is happening recently and since the late months of 2023 are being caused by Bitcoin news, but there are times that Ethereum and others have initiated a strong movement in the market as well. Also, there are times that Bitcoin will move and some altcoins will seldom move, while there are times they will move and Bitcoin will not move, so it all depends on the situation, especially the factor causing the bullish or bearish movements.

I don't think this will ever happen so never that this will be a trend , in what case that Altcoin will make its Season before bitcoin , indeed that there are some altcoins that making their way up like SOLANA recently  but that does not stand that all altcoins or many altcoins will make its way like what Solana does so nope there will be no such trend , and bitcoin will always takes place before altcoin does.

You can hold any amount of stablecoins whatever you wish. But i could not stand for people who spread stablecoin more than any altcoin or bitcoin it self.
Because i think stablecoins could threaten the crypto economy as a whole. when their supply expands over time, the risk will be higher and can erupt at anytime

Can you give an example of what you are saying?

Perhaps, the market trend keeps on changing up and down but getting into a Bullish or bearish trend is a different story. We're not talking if the Bitcoin or crypto will vanish as we are talking about the current situation where are in a bullish state. May it never get your attention as per see but have to believe that this is existing in the market.

If this is the first time you have experienced the bull season, then I have no wonder but for us who have been in the cryptos space for many years and had previous experience of Bullrun, we can say that we are almost there.

I grab your u point, just like when the Bitcoin price hit $45k majority of the altcoins also followed that trend. Though this is not the first time this has been happening, but that just proves that there is just one master of them all and that is Bitcoin. What explains the whole following process completely is when the same Bitcoin had a correction after the little spike in price and altcoins also followed the trend. Trends can be caused by manipulating the market so we shouldn't be surprised if the market just experience a sharp movement.

This is a very popular topic and is what many people are really after to make money from the market. There are people that are still so skeptical of the market and want to make money but they don't know how to go about it. It is very important for us to strategize and utilize a way to know when we are to utilize techniques to know when the market would go up or come down. There was time when to analyze the market was very difficult but now things are becoming more easier for traders and investors to know when the market tend to go bullish.

Strategy and analysis have become things that must be known to enter trading. This is not an easy matter, technical analysis requires good knowledge in determining when to enter and exit, not as easy as the theory studied. The practices applied will certainly be different. Knowing whether the market tends to rise or fall requires various technical and fundamental analysis, it cannot be determined simply.

Of course, we can't but what we are currently experiencing we believe is a sign of possible Bullrun. It could be right or wrong but judging on the current situation and even comparing it to the previous years, the market sentiment still moving in the same direction almost the same. However, we still further our research and keep aware of the situation as you are right, we can't assure that this will happen (or not) at least we are prepared enough and already have a plan in case the trend moves in the opposite direction.

Technical and fundamental analysis are necessary and as a trader, knowing both or one of them is good, atleast it will help one to become pro trader in the market. Rise and dump of the marker is everyday routine, never stepping back but focusing on solid winnings, evidence is important. A trend is basically something we shouldn't overlook and also altcoin bullrun is coming closer, we're here to stick to our strategy and grab significant profits where we see them. Anything in the market doesn't come like that, it requires good energy and strategy from the traders executed.

thats right, stablecoin replaced that intermediary, basically the reason why stablecoin has grown so much that china willing to ban it.
because people all over the world are using it because its just that convenient also no need to worry about volatility if you try to hold off from investing its really convenient these days.
even back then though i think people are buying altcoin directly using fiat, but represented as digital fiat in many exchanges right now with the presence of stablecoins that are integrated directly in the blockchain
things just getting more and more convenient, no wonder tether market capitalization increasing like crazy.

Maybe but the time is not right. I remember the last halving is on may 2020 then we compare with bitcoin price at that time.
https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/
One month before the last halving bitcoin go down significant more than 50% and after the next 6 month crypto finally enter the bull market.
So what you re saying is not relevant

This is a time people need to be careful how they go about their investment,  they should not be carried away just because they want to make profit and go into investment that will not end well. Most project right now looks very attractive to invest but may end up very bad , this is a time one needs to make a thorough research to be sure of where money should be invested into .some coins are attractive to invest but may not do well along the line.

Indeed, we should spend our money wisely by conducting proper research on coins before buying them, so that we are sure not to buy any scam projects. But I must say that, research alone isn't a sure guarantee that you would be buying a legit coin. Left for me alone, I'll suggest we just go into Bitcoin adoption now, since more than 70% of altcoin are following it tends. And besides the halving is this year and might surprise us any time since no one can actually predict the exact date for the halving. And after the halving comes the bull run, and the hype of this year bull run is believed that Bitcoin will hit a new ATH up to $100k.

Everything must be prepared well, when the market trend moves to the position we hope for it will be an opportunity to take advantage, but if the trend reverses then we need to accumulate to increase the assets we have. After all, there is no need to panic about the current market situation, we are just about to face the highly anticipated Halving. Bullrun is coming soon, so prepare well.

Well, a year could fly so fast, so I guess it's still safe to say that we are almost there. We are all aware that it is not at the prior halving where bitcoin and altcoin had an insane pump or the month after, but it usually took several months before the huge bull run occur. We are almost in the next halving, just more than a couple of months and after that it should be the most anticipated bullrun. Bitcoin price will always have an effect on majority of the altcoins, if you're planning to stack more of your bags, better do it right now because again we are almost there.

January is the best time to buy more in my opinion btc is not halving yet and etf is not approved yet when both of the news come out I do believe this will be fire and altcoin might reach the new all time high

so yeah the bull run is gonna happen soon

It's very obvious that some of the altcoins I know quite well that have potential is not like same since Bitcoin started experiencing a bull run from my perspective, so what I'm trying to let everyone know is that without the chart of bitcoin showing green color in the market I don't think that altcoins price will increase again, so therefore I believe that altcoins always make a move of increment during a proper bullrun

Recently there was some bullish movement observed around Bitcoin and that could be seen as a possible reason most of the altcoins had a bull movement recently, its well known that most of the Altcoins follow after Bitcoin movement and so they sometimes double up in the what ever direction Bitcoin goes, I'd bit coin moves upward by 2% some of these Altcoins make almost 10% movement in same direction if not even more sometimes they even do same when there's a bearish movement aswell, they even have worse Case as the do more negative than Bitcoin does.

Summarily Bitcoin has the total direction that's been followed by othe Altcoins so there's not a bull run for altcoins outside that which wasn't first initiated on Bitcoin, every slight move in Bitcoin may appear like a Bull run to some Altcoins.

Crypto market is creating new precedent every time. While it still is an accepted fact that there are no real movements on the market unless bitcoin is moving, the alts too have now gained individualized movements depending on their fundamentals and market supply and demand. The unprecedented growth of SOL in a short time is one example how even a large capped coin like SOL can outperform bitcoin a multiple of times. We have seen such growth in low capped pump and dump alts but not in a coin as huge as Solana.

SOL is almost unbelievable. I thought it would stop and be dumped at $60, I sold the few I had been holding and then continued to go up. There are few others but it's SOL that is going massive. It's not unusual because BTC is also going higher, the only unusual is that they are just a few altcoins and the popular ones are not going up, ETH is not rising along with BTC.

The thing is that, normally if bitcoin appreciates in price, this event should affect alternative coins because at this point bitcoin will be very high and many investor has already have a comfortable amount of Bitcoin in their custody and the next move will be diversification which will directly affect the price of this coins drastically, this why no matter how skeptical many of us is about altcoins and shitcoins people will always be tempted to invest in them this time because of their potentials upsurge, let's not forget that altcoins was created because Bitcoin was very high some investors though strategy were put in place to accommodate many investors but many of them prefer large profit and that has been the case.

The booster of the current increments in the AltCoins even while we haven't reached bull run is because even the bitcoin halving season is hitting up to overtake the last bull run Ath. So also it's cordial with the AltCoins. I hope you see that the changes in the appreciative AltCoin values at now is a trigger by the uplifting of the bitcoin. There's actually some bit differences this season in the crypto industry via market cap at this time.

OP, it is not a new trend. Altcoin has been increasing significantly whenever bitcoin starts increasing. It has been from the start that whenever there is a bull run, all the altcoins and bitcoin itself see a high increase in their price. I had a few coins in my wallet sometime ago; it were worthless, just 0.60 cents but when the bull run came, i got good profit when the price reached $4 for one.

In my opinion, the link between Bitcoin and altcoins is steadfast and unshakeable. Despite attempts to separate them, they continue to move in sync. It's hard to predict how long this correlation will last, so for now, it's best to acknowledge it as part of the crypto landscape. When Bitcoin experiences gains or losses, it sets the tone for the entire market. While this connection might evolve over time, at present, it's an essential factor to consider in my trading decisions.

Oh yeah, now the alts are starting to get excited about flying to the moon. I'm surprised by NEAR and TFS this alts season, they are suddenly making a lot of money for the second time in a row.

Altcoin trends follow Bitcoin upward movement with the aim of creating new all time highs. From this event there were several altcoins that followed, but there were also altcoins that were stable, there were also those that reversed direction, in my opinion they were very diverse. However, most investors like altcoins that follow the bull run trend because they can exploit this moment as a promising investment vehicle

I have tried several times to discuss the issue of bitcoin and altcoins, both of which are very closely related during the emergence of crypto, many people are curious whether altcoins are not related to altcoins.
I think this is no longer a new altcoin bull run trend but a bullish market will soon occur this year, which essentially means that every time there is a price movement in Bitcoin, several altcoins will also rise.

Even though this thread is kinda of old to reply but I think still relevant to discuss about the bull market for the altcoins projects. About one month ago we saw a good rally in some altcoin projects with a huge pump to their price and has returned a good profit to the investors but after some time these projects started to lose their price value. even that was not the bull market but people enjoyed a lot these pumps.

on the other hand, I noticed good pumps in most of the altcoin $near also gained about $3 dollars more to its value within 24 hours and it is now currently trading $5 point something on binance exchange. It is just the beginning of the bull market and I hope the market will show its original face to the investors in the form of bull season after the halving event. what do you think about that? Before that, we have to get ready with our profit booking strategy so that we may not lose any good specific points. In my opinion, we should do DCA for booking the profits as well in this way we can get a good amount of profit. DYOR

The current market is very difficult to predict. This cycle is different from the previous cycle. I think altcoins will follow the Bitcoin bull run. Altcoins will follow because the king of cryptocurrencies is Bitcoin. Keep in mind this is just my personal opinion. Correct me if I'm wrong.

     I think most people know that when there is a rally in bitcoin, it also pulls many of the top cryptocurrencies in the market up in value as well. For example, when the bitcoin price rises, ETH, BNB, MATIC, and other altcoins that are in the top listing of the market will definitely rise as well, in addition to meme coins.

     And these are the altcoins that have good market volume daily and, to be honest, market capital. And altcoins are not the cause of the rise of Bitcoin; that is not true, and the majority of the community in this field of the crypto space also knows that.

The truth is that many people are doubting Thomas so they don't believe anything about digital money unless it is their usual traditional banking system, it is not longer a new thing that bitcoin and alternative are on the rise everyday and many people had the opportunity to invest when the price was in the dip stage which is the best time to buy, now it will look like a mirage to them because they never believed in the process why now, the way events are unfolding everyday I think the next upsurge will be in such way that those who never saw this opportunity coming will regret never taking the bold step. Though going into the market is another thing as you mentioned but someone can only go into the market if he or she is ready.
