Many altcoins are back to bear market lows , is that normal this time of cycle?

[Jegileman]

As above , I am looking at my portfolio and surprised to see many altcoins crashing this low back to bear market lows.

Is this normal this far into a bull run?

If so, why does everyone make a big deal about buying in bear market if we can just buy now this far into a bull run?

Why is there so much panic right now? I am just holding and buying some at these cheap prices but surprised Altcoins have fallen this low.

Everything seems abnormal until the market begins to recover. I’m optimistic the market will recover once again but we can’t say how far this bull run will and how far it’ll affect the overall sentiment of many holders in the market.

The altcoin season is yet to be fully completed and until then, the market will still have to recover once again. For the times the alt season were at their peak, bitcoin wouldn’t be on a bearish move even though it won’t show much of a bullish momentum at that time.

Frankly speaking the altcoin market is too much of a dependent market and that is the reason why you see price movements are quite unpredictable. The bear movement you see currently is partly because of the sudden dump in bitcoin price.
Soon prices will pump back to the upside but I'm very optimistic that it's going to happen when bitcoin also resumes it's trend to the upside for a major movement and not just a retracement.

Bitcoin has a very significant influence on market sentiment and direction and also plays a major role in the growth or movement of the market which allows altcoins to potentially follow Bitcoin's movement.

And the decline in Bitcoin that occurs will affect altcoins which are likely to fall deeper and this will cause panic when seeing a portfolio that is red and this is one of the risks that must be faced in the crypto market, especially altcoins which have a greater risk than Bitcoin. And there is no option to hold it or take advantage of the decline to make purchases because I am still very optimistic that Bitcoin this year will create a new high after yesterday's high which has the potential to make altcoins rise too and it's just a matter of time and patience to wait for it.

Bitcoin is specifically the project that affects the market once it makes moves. It can be an upward move or downward, all depending on the appropriate structure of bitcoin. Let me give you this tip for free, although it was an anonymous tip on X, if you want to grow and expand your empire in crypto, learn before earn because it's the common ideology of the market. Not every pro-trader will have this love of telling you this because it becomes casual not to be in the right place to execute trades.

The decline in bitcoin affects the market great deal, but we're also hopeful to become future traders since we've everything within our space and discretion. Altcoins are back to leveled lows because the market is not happening to be basic or exposed, we've seen absolutely different angles to follow when it comes to trading and investing in the market. We're very much alive to deal with the market challenges with backup strategy.

The reciprocal tarrifs placed on Canada, Mexico and other nations is affecting the sensitive nature of the cryptocurrency market. Bitcoin is going down, same is expected of altcoins. Investors who are not certain of which direction the market point to, ends up changing for fia, for coins like Eth, it's great to hold them, yet, many other altcoins may not climp up after the dump. What matters is knowing the right altcoin to sell.

Bitcoin would always be the main trend setter on which this will really be the main coin on where everyone will really be following no matter what on which if Bitcoins price will really be that going down then you should really that expect that it would really be that going down in most altcoins in the market. Reaching down all time lows of the entire market could really be happening and it is really that indeed a very normal days here on crypto space and if you are really just that someone whose really that new into this market will really be that freaking out just like a baby. This is why its really that important that you do really know on how this market works because this is where you do able to see such dominance of Bitcoin on the entire market and thats why we can say that it is really that a main trend setter.

The key on here is that you do really know on how to dive in with the prices and be able to make out such opportunities at the time that you will be able to see such price condition or market sentiments.
You wont really be that easily get panicked at the time that you've seen declines at the moment that you are already knowledgeable into it. This is why its really that important that you do really know on how to set risks management and emotion control so that you wont really be losing up your path on how to make up trades accordingly.

Bitcoin & altcoins crashing yet again  .

I understand 30% dips on the way up in a bull run are normal but we have had this negative market feel for over 2 months now since the all time high January 20th.

The feel around the market is awful , is this feeling is normal right now at the point of the cycle?

Or is the 4 year cycle now over and we just have to live with it now and hope we eventually bounce back up to all time highs over the next few months?

[Rampagoe004]

Bitcoin's decline in the past few days has many people wondering whether this is a correction in preparation for the next bull run or the highest increase is over. Bitcoin and altcoins generally return to their lowest prices with a 30% drop being an opportunity to add more coins to the portfolio. The cycle that occurs seems very normal because every time Bitcoin and altcoins reach their highest point, there will be a correction.

The market is very volatile on Bitcoin and is too dependent and that is why we must understand the real price movement. The 4-year cycle is now over and we cannot answer with certainty that all altcoins have not fully risen to their highest prices.

There no sign yet that we are in the bear Market. You don't expect to see the price of crypto currency going too bullish without ranging for a while. The market don't always move in one different, sometimes the direction can be unpredictable which could make many investors thinks that the lower trend has commenced. This is not so and we need to know what we are doing  so we don't analyzed the market price in a wrong way and finally finding out that we have made a huge mistake. Loses could come after analyzing the market price wrongly.

I don’t think there is anything to panic about if you are holding strong altcoins. The only set of people which I know they are suppose to panic are people that are holding shit coins, because as their prices are going down, some of them might not be bounce back, they will keep on dropping till they die, but anyone holding strong altcoins should know that with time their prices will bounce back.

If anyone is having money which they won’t really be using for now, then I don’t think there is anything bad in accumulating coins now, but the best coin which we are suppose to invest in is bitcoin, but if you prefer altcoins, then it’s better you put your money in strong ones, and not shitcoins.

plenty of people in X for example, calling out that the 4 year cycle might be broken due to ETF and all, because it's harder to rotate money from bitcoin ETF to altcoin so there's less demand for alts right now.
if it's bitcoin, I'm sure the price can easily go back up, even current price is already good enough, not too long ago it was sitting around $55k.

but for alts, I kinda already reducing my exposure to altcoin because the nature of institutional investors right now who just buy bitcoin and let it sit there, and the fact that they're not interested in buying some random altcoins at all except the bluechips.
the future of alts seem grim to me, honestly.

Why it was hard to admit that we could be in the bear cycle? Because of the timeframe not being exactly same as last time? Those are never going to be exact copies of past cycles, because if it would be, trading would be easy as hell.



You are better off recognizing your own feelings and market sentiment then trusting TA based on past activity. Because no one is immune to these feelings, it's just hard to recognize them.
I don't get why some traders are using investor's mentality and believe on holding, when at the same time they want to make money with bull and bear cycles.
These are same people who are saying fear is right time to buy, and that it's only a dip and they are calling bear market a correction. They are late to sell and late to buy. They are asking when the bull market starts when it's half way up. They are moving their goalposts, changing their TA to fit their bullish narrative. I've been one of those.

Fear of others is denial of those who are late, and it's almost never good time to buy.

We don't recognize denial, because of the very definition of denial, so we can try to pick other phases.
It's never going to be accurate, but so far every time during ATH, i have seen some signs that i should sell, but always thought that i could have more time.

What i have learn is to buy when some influencers decrease their activity, or stop posting and when people are selling their used mining hardware rigs for nearly free.
But since mining isn't such a huge thing anymore on majority of the coins, so tracking used mining rig sales might not work.

[JamesDaniel90]

We could be in a bear market, but what is making me believe that we are not is that Bitcoin saw multiple 30-40% corrections in 2021 on the way up to the $69k high.

Bitcoin is currently around 25% down from the $109k high we saw in January so for me that is normal.

What panics us more though is the altcoins, many are down 50% in the last few months so all we can do those holding is just wait this out and hope April things finally turn around after a very bad first quarter of 2025.
