Altcoin season is not here yet.

[Yudhisthir]

Altcoin is just a vague category. The market has changed a lot and we can't just divide it into altcoin and bitcoin as their price movement are getting independent of each other. There always will be a trend but altcoin price are rising and falling depending on what they do and how they perform. So, its better to choose the right coin for you be it bitcoin or any.

Most of us hoping that altcoin will have its good season to start are those who bought last year or the previous years, we now are holding a non worthy coins so we are hoping that season will arrive so we have a chance to see it rise and sell if the timing is good.

I think for now people are investing heaving in bitcoin since it's the most profitable coin so far, of course except BNB who really made a decent increase this year and have its ATH, the rest of the coins are just not doing great so far.

According to several people included the CZ himself (Binance CEO) stated that we might not have an alt season this time

Well, i won't really say that we won't have an ALt season. But not an "ALL alt season"
What's the differences here? During the "ALL ALT Season", basically almost 90% of the alts go up in price. Scam, copy pasted project, unrealistic project and etc
Everything pumped

But this time, guess people will be more smarter and more careful on their investment choices.
Not saying that fake project won't pump, but less. More genuine project will definitely appreciate in price if they developed something well

So far, from the very beginning of 2019, I see improvements only with respect to Bitcoin.  Aetherium slightly improved its position, but friends of altcoin did not surprise me with their prices.  But I coins did not even budge.  I do not even know what can be assumed until the end of this year.

we are in a different year, where trade and investment may be centered and bigger on bitcoin. we cannot overcome this dominance that makes altcoin difficult to grow. if this continues, maybe altcoin this year should try to create their own pump. otherwise they will not move.

I'm waiting as well and im not that stupid to fall for FOMO because bitcoin keeps surging in value ,I believe that altcoins moment will come if not sooner then later

[Chika08]

For altcoins to start surging in price bitcoin is always the one to take the lead first ,altcoin season is not here yet so let's stop complaining ,wait patiently for altcoin season to return if not then don't bother investing in altcoins and go for bitcoin full time

well yes, you could be right.  But the friction from the market and investors are getting extremely high and everyone is already losing patience. So how would you think that we address that?

Altcoin seems to be slower than Bitcoin, because more capital flows into the market to buy bitcoin. Of course the capitalization that accumulates in trade gives a big advantage.
But the price will definitely rise because of the shining bitcoin prices in the crypto market, this will last until the end of the year according to my predictions.

Investors now prefer to invest in bitcoin because the potential for rising on bitcoin price. I agree that in the end altcoin price will rise again after the strengthening of the bitcoin price eases and altcoin holders should patiently wait for this to happen

Investors now prefer to invest in bitcoin because the potential for rising on bitcoin price.

For now, but in the long run, it could change, as the market changes, their decision also changes as they are playing on the market movement.
The trend now is bitcoin having some significant rises, and they sure prioritize bitcoin over altcoins. 

I agree that in the end altcoin price will rise again after the strengthening of the bitcoin price eases and altcoin holders should patiently wait for this to happen

This remains to be seen but we can wait and continue to believe as this market is not only for bitcoin alone.

When can we confirm the season of altcoin if we can not recognize it as altcoins show gradual rise in price of late? Even if it is not the season of altcoin, it is a major opportunity to buy more at cheap price because there bull run for altcoins will definitely come since there is no single permanent condition or trend in crypto. Buy the lows now, sell at the peaks and make profit.

Gradual rise in price against USD maybe, but have you been checking out the price of alts in satoshi? I always use Dogecoin as the easiest clue,,, because ETH and LTC or any other altcoin is hard to remember.

Altcoin season, Doge = 100++ satoshi
No altcoin season like now, Doge = 20-40 satoshi.

Yes, let the market run as it is and maybe this is the season for bitcoin because investors want to get big profits so the increase in bitcoin is very significant and its popularity makes investors choose it.
I am sure that there will be a season for Altcoin which will eventually adjust the price of bitcoin and just wait for time and be patient to wait for the Altcoin season.

[Kimonoe]

now we see a different market. usually when bitcoin rises, the altcoin will follow it. but we don't see that at this time. precisely what happens is that altcoins tend to be silent. and when bitcoin goes down, altcoin follows it. indeed be patient and don't panic must be in our minds

[PedroCrypto]

Yes always, people sold out alts and buy bitcoin, and crush happens. Now it is better, Bitcoin is stable at a high price. Alts start growing.

I am focusing now on(which I always hold)

BTC (Yes Still)
ETH
LTC

While investing some resource on alt projects that I strongly believe to be strong players in their own field later in the future

Monero
Zcash

Altcoins may not have it own season this year different from bitcoin. We have seeing some of them falling when bitcoin is growing and falling when bitcoin is falling too. It is a thing of concern and I have a coin that was doing very early last year but currently it has lose over 89% of it value to bitcoin.

[zzortyx]

The growth of altcoins is now due to the growth of bitcoin. Altcoins significantly increased in $ equivalent, but in relation to bitcoin growth is very weak or not at all. I think that most altcoins will follow the trend this year but will not give much growth.

[royalfestus]

It calls for concern but it is still early when bitcoin is rovering around the same price range for over a week. After a month we could start a more serious discussion if things didn't change

Yes, do not be easy to panic and stay patient. The time for Altcoins is not yet fully existed. But with a very high increase in Bitcoin prices. Of course, it will give hope to the Altcoin back pumping. It's just that we have to be patient and to now better trade by buying coins at a low price.

Altcoin price rose against US dollar due to the strengthening of the bitcoin so it has not been said to be an altseason. Altseason will happen if altcoin price strengthens against bitcoin and reducing bitcoin dominance on the market.

[miklesm]

It is hard to say when altcoin season will do start. Previously, altcoins were growing during Bitcoin correction, today altcoins are not growing as much as BTC, but they are still falling with it.

If people who like to invest in altcoins are good for them. Bitcoin always leads, but I don't know what you mean. If indeed this is not the season of the altcoin, when will the altcoin season come?
