Have to wait till Bitcoin Bear Market is over for Alts to climb again?

Good question, based on what I'm seeing, alts really follows the path of bitcoin. But with the current situation, is really hard to judge it that way. Because in the past, when bitcoin is going up, alts is bleeding because alt investors just simply shifts their money to bitcoin. So its logical to this that if bitcoin is suffering, alts should be getting at least in a green zone.

Unfortunately though, with bitcoin wild swings, its really hard to say if alts will climb back together with bitcoin in the current situation. There are so much contributory factors so I its really hard to predict.

I would love to see that happen, but its better to be wary and cautious at this time.

Most likely not this year.

I would say either next year, or 2020. That's when the markets usually rebound from a dump.

For alts to start to climb, bitcoin needs to start climbing. Once bitcoin starts to climb, then alts will follow and even outpace the growth of bitcoin. I just don't see this happening this year with the new regulations and bans and all that negative stuff being covered in the media about bitcoin, even though nothing has really changed. This is why I think it'll take around 1-2 years for markets to completely recover and go into bullish mode here.

My guess is that it is going to start happening within this month of March. I can already see right now that many of the altcoins have already started to show some growth. This green might be the start of a bullish market. We have been very patient in waiting for the green season to start showing its signs. For the past more than two months, the market is really bloody suffering. Not only the red season affecting Bitcoin and the major altcoins, it affected every single altcoin in the market. Let's just extend our patience a little more. We are almost there.

The question to psychics is more likely than to us, we have assumptions and simple facts. Now I see the rise of all coins, but who will give guarantees that tomorrow there will be no correction as it has already been repeatedly. A full recovery to be already sure of tomorrow is to be expected by the middle of summer.

[samuraijin]

why not take now some altcoin you see cheap and see some time in the week the price will grow up 1% to 5%, currently do not play on long term you can take advantage in the short term

[vv181]

Yes. Its just the way how the market works, Everytime Bitcoin make significant move altcoins will be bleedings. The market always reacts upon Bitcoin even just small move. The only way for altcoins to have a room for the rise is when Bitcoin price stabilize, and pretty stagnant.

[ilnick]

I think now a prolonged stagnation is likely. During this time new people will learn about the crypto. This can take from a couple of months to more than a year.

[drmarcobelli]

I have a feeling we will see a good growth in altcoins this summer.
Maybe not something crazy, to hit all-time highs, but probably something.

As soon as we get more people in hah

[blozo]

Last altcoin bull markets were after a bitcoin pump indeed (May-June 2017, plus December-January). So yes we will probably need to wait that Bitcoin will recover properly with a new bull market (it can take hours, days or months, it is difficult to predict)

Actually price movement is unpredictable. Whether a coin decreases or increases for me is meaningless. I will take a direct decision to buy a coin and then I sell the coin when I get the profit margin from the buy and sell the coin. Yes I apply fast and short time, because I always think that when we wait too long then we do not necessarily get big profits. Better to get a little profit, but can be stable and instens continuous every time.

Make sure we have a strategy in choosing a coin and make sure we dare to take any decision at any time quickly and accurately.
Waiting is not a sure thing to make a profit !!

[Agathai]

Yes, I think, so that altcoin can overcome the dependence from bitcoin, need more time and really big and effective adjustment. I believe that Fud will not last until June. Be patient over the frozen market. After the ice melts, the market will be clean in great growth.

[tycsols]

I hope bitcoin bear will be over this month, if we close bitcoin around $10k this month we will have strong bullish monthly candles indicating big bull run for next few months, lets see, fingers crossed.

[ivrynx]

The barket will always be therr and you do not need to wait forthe bull run, as an investor you may want to broaden your investments, since there are a lot of coins out there, you need to do your research, there are coins that arr good for trading, judt like ADA before, since it became that volatile, you may also want to check out POS coins, since it will give you stakes, its like mining, but you are not mining at all, you can also try Master Nodes, a good example is Dash, just make sure that you know how to update and protect your system. Di no just rely on exchanges and news, also check out other ICOs or pre-ICOs, in which case, you can earn more..

no idea about bitcoin, but don't forget that in other years alts absolutely went insane while bitcoin sat there and did absolutely nothing.

at the same time many alts are still outrageously overvalued and have a long way to fall yet before we can be certain the hype is over. we're either taking a breather before possibly going up again or waiting for the real bear action.

I thought I had to wait till the bear market was over. But I started feeling really depressed. So I started margin trading.
If you are doing normal trading, you hope, expect and force the market to go up. But, in margin trading, it is not important.
You can make a profit if BTC is going up or down, you just have to identify the trend. To be honest, it is not easy but once you identify the trend, it is not important if it is uptrend or downtrend.

a very easy way to lose everything without trying very hard. be careful out there. you might end up being one of those people who writes a doomy thread and no one can understand how you lost so much with a quiet market.

[jinnyjinny]

sensitive issue. I don't see the reasons why market should grow in the near time, too too much uncertainty ariund,  so now i try to fix some positive trading positions in ETH and Bitcoin and hold them, as more liquid assets.

I don't recommend to open a short position in crypto. Remember, that 80% of the time market is growing, plus making short deal,  you can gain no more than 100%(if coin someday worth nothing), but in long trade a sky is not a limit.
As for alts, I expect, that will correlate less with BTC price

Bear market is quite usual for Q1 of every year, I think. Then towards summer it starts moving up, then towards end of the year explodes, then new cycle
