This is a rather unpredictable time for the market direction, and it's very volatile. But, we also know that holding altcoins requires in-depth research and understanding their behavior compared to Bitcoin's price movements. Even though we know the coins we are holding are major coins and they are still quite strong but finding the best entry point is important to in this moment.
Given today's market sentiment, selling pressure remains quite strong, with occasional price spikes. We should wait until the price reaches support or a demand zone on a lower time frame. I mean, don't rush into buying now.
Personally, I still see a chance for altcoins to rise and the whales are also looking to profit.
I think market has never been predictable but if I can speculate on the current market, I would say that the coins are likely to dip more, since the market condition is negative already.
Before one starts indeed that a an in-depth knowledge is a must to know the do's and don'ts but if in terms of movement in general, BTC is more volatile that in alts, so BTC must be more risky than them. It is given that the market is in a bad shape, so if there is a strong pressure, that should come from buyers and only a few from sellers which can come from the weak handed people.
