Altcoins are keep crashing, as Bitcoin keep on rising to the new highs. So when do you think one can start buying altcoins??

One thing you should put in your mind is this: You can never time the market! You can buy your favourite coin in batches when the price is low or lower! Just know that it is impossiblecto time the the market!

I havent sold a single altcoin yet and keep buying as much as possible for a few days. There are really good opportunities in many altcoins at the moment and Now it is a very nice time to buy. Any altcoin you buy at top #10 will bring you extra 30-40 as minimum for next 3 4 weeks.

It's very tough to beat the trend. If you are buying a dip, you are essentially buy a downtrend, very hard to pick the bottom. I recommend working off technical analysis support and resistance levels to pick entry points.

Now is not the right time to buy altcoins, I agree that they are decreasing in value but I think its better if you wait. I think it would be better if you buy a few days before the hard fork, since you might buy now and they continue dumping.

Your timing will make you benefit even more, don't forget that a lot of altcoin investors are dumping their coins to claim bitcoin gold, if you buy days before the fork, you will be able to buy lower.

This is the nature of most altcoins, nothing really last long. Their market value would only last not longer than 2 years 1 is the most ideal. Spike of prices or upward trends  only begin after 4 weeks and followed six months after its release, later the dip follows and then die and burn. If we try to track all the altcoins since the beginning only a few altcoins survives in the market the rest are dying, an altcoins without any projects or any financial backing are the one who easily fades away.

I think the price is moving because of the existing market law of supply & demand. . Bitcoin owners worry when prices go down and high prices quickly make transactions
To choose an investment with a low alticoin price, choose one that has a plus

This is probably the best window to buy altcoins or even a week from now as prices will continue to drop due to the upcoming forks. If you recognize altcoins/ICOs with potential growth, this seems like an ideal time to pounce in with investments as altcoins could never get any cheaper. I'm calling late November to be the time when altcoins start gaining traction back into the green side of things with the established and potential ones performing x10's or even larger surges.

Altcoin is keep coming down because the price value of bitcoin is increasing to 5,700 USD and there are possibility bitcoin will up to 6,000 USD. In that scenario this it the time to buy a different coin but it is depend if you determine the market cap movement to now the precision of altcoin.

Maybe it's a good thing to buy a little when an alt is on downtrend, it's kind of difficult to spot the bottom. Personally, I do think that more than half of the alt market seems bottomish. Watch out for the top volumes as they frequently jump from price to price.

It depends on the coin. If you've seen a coin drop 35% and it's close to its all time low compared to BTC, then buy. A good example is IOTA. Altcoins have so many variables, it's not like you buy all alts at the same time. Go on coinmarketcap and sort buy "% change 24 hours", some alts are up 50%, some are down 50%.

Wait a few day before the fork then buy your alts. I have some btc and tether waiting on exchanges to make fast buys. I've done the same on last fork and made some good profit.

You cannot enter perfectly except if you're really lucky, but entering now in your favorite coin is already a smart idea!

This time? It caused by the altcoin gets mass dump due to the big correction after very big rally and bullish from the major coin such as bitcoin and ethereum. This must be best time for you to buy altcoin. Just try to expect about the little comeback and you able to take all of your profit.

Altkoins continue to fall in price against the backdrop of the rising rate of bitcoin and there are objective reasons for this. Now the money supply is being pumped from the altcoins to bitcoin, since everyone hopes that after buying bitcoins, they will receive the same amount of Bitcoin Gold coin after the fork on October 25. Therefore, in connection with the growth in demand for Bitcoin, its rate rises sharply, while the Altkoins, on the contrary, fall. After October 25, everything will fall into place and the altcoyins will grow in value. Therefore, the best time for buying altcoyins will be just before the forthcoming fork on October 25, when their course will be minimal.

Of course when the price of hit the bottom or support level
the price will do a corrections or reversasl,, thats are technically

TBH these recent series of red arrow after red arrow has put me off a lot of alts. I used to invest almost 50/50 BTC and alts, but I haven't and won't be putting any more into them for a while now. Too difficult to pick and back a winner right now.

You can't really time the market but this period looks like a good time to buy. Although I'll go against my own advice and expect that they will fall further until the fork occurs.

Its a feast at the moment to keep on buying. You should have starting buying already while the prices are so low.

Buy XRP now, thank me later

Maybe you are right. When the prices are low it's usually great time to buy. Yet it is hard to do that, because you see that you sold some btc for investments in altcoins and lost quite a lot of your initial investment but overall lost not so much if you convert the price into dollars solely because bitcoin's price is growing so hard!
I hope altcoins will recover. I still hold stratis, blackmoon, IOTA (long-term) and litecoin (long-term as well).

Few days before the bitcoin gold fork is good time to buy altcoins unless you want to have some bitcoin gold :)

I think its hit bottom, seems to feel like its wedged there atm.
Just bought even more Lisk, price is far too good at the moment. Will shoot back up verry soon and explode with the rebrand + SDK.

If I were not already completely invested in altcoins, I would buy them massively now. But alas I can't.

You can buy bitcoin after the fork is over. Make sure you closely monitor the market and the news so you can predict what would happen. It is really hard to tell now when will the blood bath stops because October 25 is still more days to run.

i think the dump in altcoin  is due to the upcoming bitcoin fork.most people are stacking up their btc so they can get equal amount of btc gold when the fork happens .so any hope of altcoins mooning will only happen after November 1 .so the best time to buy in my humble opinion is NOW

How do you decide top #10? A lot of people have money to invest in PR and stuff. But there may be some projects that solve a problem and in future might be successful. Just trying to get an opinion on how investors think and select projects

I think the money pumping out to bitcoin from altcoin so that altcoin crashing down and bitcoin increasing new high,as this will stop bitcoin will come down little and altcoin will rise from this level.And its the beaty of market that no can predict perfect or 100% sure.My advice is if you have bitcoin in your holdings, sell some of them and buy altcoin from that money. I will definitely  buy altcoin at this level for 1-2 year of time frame for good return.

its better you start buying the fallen altcoins now.Those who already should also continue to hold.
Coins are dropping because  of the upcoming Bitcoin Hardfork.Coins will definately rise after the Fork.

I will buy alts right before 25 October. But what alts I'll buy depends on technical features like major support and resistance lines and so on. I believe every legit altcoin will actually grow up till the end of the year!

People are trying to stock up on bitcoin so they get more bitcoin gold at the fork, same as happened with bitcoin cash.
I think once people have got their new coins, they will move back into alts and alt prices will then rise... so asap after the fork is the best time (I think).

I read that after 25 oct there will be another fork in november, so is it possible that altcoins continue to fall down also after that day?

I think they really will fall up to the middle of November. Around 10 November should be Segwit2X hardfork. Public opinion is now against it but this could means anything - there won't be any changes till that moment.

For me it is my time to buy some my favorite altcoin , I hope I will be able to get some profit in these few days, as I am sure in these few weeks altcoin will go up again.

Buy when do you feel to buy. Altcoin price are very cheap right now. The right question should be, "Which altcoin is the best to buy right now?". It is a good time to buy and hold altcoins. You can expect a good return after the fork, maybe by December or by next year. Just keep on buying quality altcoins like Ripple, Digibyte and Ethereum. Buy now while the price is very low.

I think it's now!

No one knows where is the bottom but given the upcoming BTC fork, I am expecting altcoins to dip further. You may want to spilt your investment to buy some now and more if altcoins’ prices drop further.

its not always true, there are few alts that are going up
the best option for the bitcoin holders is to buy more alts, while the bitcoin is still high and there is much more time until the 25th

As bitcoin is still increasing its value altcoins are going down, well most of it so now would be the right time to buy them because they are low. Make sure you have enough budget because if it goes down even more you can buy them also.

People are selling altcoins to buy Bitcoin and be able to get coins from these forks, so I wouldn't buy any alt before the first week of november.

Well, when altcoins it going down that's really the great timing to buy them because when they do go up again, you will gain a lot.
