When will you sell your alts?

[Lanatsa]

How would a person determine a strong potential altcoin that won't disappoint the investors on the long run who wish for their kids to benefit from the coin? Depending on altcoins that will stay on for years is risky, due to the vulnerability of the market and some that pose the chances of rugpull. Hence, before choosing to do a thing like this grab the coins that has retained a long time in the market. E.g, Eth and Litecoin. Picking one of the coin that's still below the $1 rate isn't advisable, though it appears profitable, but with high risks.

It is very easy to determine especially when you are not sure of what will happen next in the market and there are some altcoin that can actually be selected to do very well but when they are not careful selected then there will be issue because if you want to go for an 100 x then you will have a problem with the management and selection of coin no matter how bad those altcoin are they are still not that bad because there are people that invest in altcoin and they are making good profits.

This as to do with everyone's seriousness and how determined we are to make profit we be the hudge of that because many of us lack understanding of how to make use of the market we think it's always bitcoin but altcoin have there own investors and there are people that invest in bitcoin and the same time also invest in altcoin and it does not change anything, we know altcoin have risk but there are altcoins that also have a high chance of given a better profit even than bitcoin because the quantity acquired is going to be better than when you want to invest in bitcoin because of funds.

Okay lets talk about on the current condition in the market now on which everything is dumping specially that Bitcoin is making up some -5% drop for this day but pretty sure that there are tons who do freak out specially that it will really be dragging out the whole market down too. If we do tend to look out whether with those top ranking alts or with those low ranking too on which there's really that significant correction that we are really that experiencing as of this moment. If you are not a long term holder then you had just that missed out on securing your profits since the market had corrected, but somehow if you do look up these dumps then there are the sweetest time on accumulating more or making up some DCA method on which this do really works anytime but of course it will be that basing up into the coins/tokens that you are investing into.

When you do sell your alts? On the time that you are already in greens and able to hit up that desired profit then its always been advisable that you should really be taking up profits on which at least if the price do make out some correction or reversal then at least you had been able to make a good call with your position. The main hindrance on why people do keep on hesitating on doing such action because they do wanted more to wait up and sell out into those peak prices on which we know that this is something that cant be predicted on which this is something that you must consider everytime or on the moment that you are on such situation.

That is why I pile huge columns of buy and sell offers all the way up and down.

However far up it goes it means buying from more and more of my higher and higher sell offers, then when it dips if I have been noticing the rise and respond to it by using the proceeds to build my column of buy offers upward following the rise I will be buying back more and more of what I just sold, cheaper and cheaper and cheaper.

Then if I have noticed the dip and followed it downward using the proceeds of the buy offers that just got sold to it doesn't need to climb far before it again starts having to chew through my sell offers in order to rise.

Thus both ups and downs are profitable in terms of the pair involved.

If both sides of the pair go down relative to something else, such as fiat, that just means it is not a good time to use either of my pair to buy fiat with until fiat dips back down relative to one or both of my trading-pair.

The buy-side of my trading-pair is usually bitcoin or HZ or Stellar Lumens.

When it is bitcoin then I particularly don't have to care what fiat is doing since bitcoin is always good to have and long term will almost certainly eventually rise faster than fiat.

It would be interesting to hear everyone's strategies for capitalizing on the peak of this bull run over the next 3-6 months.

What kind of returns would satisfy you?

Personally, I’d be thrilled with a 5-10x overall gain, though I do have a few altcoins I’m planning to hold longer, aiming for the possibility of a 30x or even more.

For altcoins I prefer holding for a few years, and selling after gaining profits before the start of a new bear season and repeat the process again because most altcoins I invest in are actually Altcoin that doesn’t have value and hope they grow during bull market.

It is not impossible to determine altcoin with great potentials to grow in future but it takes a lot of research and effort especially because there are a whole lot of them in the market so if you are not being careful you will end up investing in the wrong coin. You need to do a thorough analysis and research on any coin before investing in it, there are also a lot of scam coins which can not be differentiated by easily looking at them that’s why you need to be very careful with alltcoins.

I wouldn’t advise people to hold altcoins that are have not proven to be worthy and capable of retaining their value after going through the bear market for a very long time because they might lose all their gains and even capital as well.

Bull season of BTC goes to the alt season, and usually from here, it goes into the meme season.
Then it all begins anew.

You've done well for yourself but let's be clear, if you are sticking to those you've initially bought that are earning the decent multiples for you, then it's good, but if it is another new investor who is just trying to make money from the market and still expecting as high as x3 or x5 in this short time remaining, then that is not going to happen. We have too many altcoins not to make such view feasible.

Thanks. I generally believe that most altcoins are a hit or miss. I've had most of those for quite a while, some are over one year old and acquired through Binance's launchpool, thus, I haven't actually spent any money on them. From what I've encountered, sometimes it's way more likely to achieve major returns when a coin is during prelaunch or when it's relatively new. For instance, I bought a few dollars worth of PEPE just for fun, for the sake of buying. I don't support the coin but it seems that these meme coins are massively driven by hype. I spent $5 at most, and they're worth approximately $40 now. Imagine what would happen if I had spent a major amount of money.

well, under normal circumstances, I will also sell some percentage of my altcoin assets when the price increases several times, even when the price has increased 2x, I will sell some of my altcoins, and maybe buy other potential altcoins. However, in a pinch, I might sell my assets even at a loss. However, most of me hold popular altcoins like ethereum and BNB, and sell them when I feel it is profitable enough

I believe Alts have the potential of doing multiple x's this period, especially after Trump is being sworn in as the President of the United States of America, remember that he has included lots of crypto enthusiasts in his cabinet. So expect some pumps in few weeks time and don't forget to take profit when you see them.

During a bull run, I aim for a 5-10x overall gain and take profits along the way. I still hold a few altcoins for a shot at 30x, but I try not to get too greedy. The key is sticking to the plan and not letting hype take over though market seems too extended.

[kentrolla]

Patience is the key for achieving muti fold profits here and I have learnt it through my experience that never sell altcoins for loss unless you bought them at their peak. I usually wait for the bullrun or the period where it's value crosses more than 2x and sells it right when it starts to drop post rally.

The only regret I have right now is the investment I have made in Cardano 3 years ago and still couldn't achieve breakeven.

Sometime back I was also using this strategy and I never spend my own money for having these altcoins even though I have good profit from few ones as well, but now things are taking good changes, and we are having no opportunity like we have few years back even now system changes, and we have few airdrops and free coins which are spreader by developers through different launchpads.

I have Shib and PEPE as well which were worth to keep because recent rally give good amount to me for keeping them on few different wallets but with this last point I am not agreed because while peoples understand about these meme coins they never spend huge amount for having them specially while they are not sure about their future but we still have few stories about them social media which is giving encouragement to newbies for spending in them.

[digidojo]

Been buying altcoins for a few years now and for me to feel like it’s been worth it I want a 10x minimum when I sell next year.

My main 2 altcoins are currently XRP & Hbar and I am almost up 5x on both and holding until I get 10x minimum which I know I will get next year, just not sure when.

Thanks for the info.

We still have to wait for Eth to pump and Btc to start consolidating. I'm planning on selling mid March/April maybe even May.

Patience is key when investing but that is not always true in the altcoin market as investing in altcoins is very risky. Investing in altcoins is more like gambling, not like when we invest in bitcoin. Many altcoins tend to not grow, stagnate after a period of development or worse, disappear or collapse at any time. Therefore, when investing in altcoins, we need to constantly update the situation, and cutting losses is necessary if we feel the investment is no longer reliable before it is too late.

Patience would be more appropriate and correct if we invest in bitcoin but with altcoins, use it flexibly because many altcoins are not worth our trust and faith in the long run.

[Segmadis]

I don't think I will ever sell all of them.
Last year I was testing a new strategy which for few positions worked great.
1. I buy some coins just to be able to track the price better.
2. if the price of any of these coins drop to at least 50% I buy more so I cut the loses
3. if and when any coin gain at least 400% (like SUPER) I sell and I am left with the exact same value that I have invested in this coin so far.
4. The rest of the money that I made are left alone till I find another coin to invest.

Unfortunately this requires a lot of patience, but it is very good when one coin gains 400% and you sell

I don't have any altcoin in my possession rather than bitcoin and I wouldn't expect much from bitcoin provided it creates new ATH of the year, after which I don't mind selling to secure profits and wait for the next bull run to refill my bags again while we sail on the blood bath. Altcoin is actually cool to hold but sometimes they puts one into high blood pressure because you never can predicts how they are being manipulated in the market, coin like Ethereum, BNB, SOL, XRP, DOT and few others that are found trust worthy.

Well it’s never a good idea to sell your entire stack but there are times when taking profit is essential. Altcoins still seem to follow the standard four year Bitcoin cycles which most of us are familiar with. Obviously the answer to your question is to sell when you are in profit. To maximise your profits though you should sell some in halving year and one year post halving, specifically the year post halving so that’s next year.

Interesting strategy! I’m also waiting on some price movements from altcoins I got a few years ago through bounties. Hopefully, they follow the cycle you mentioned. My target is around the presale price or the token’s ATH — or at least close to it. I’ll take partial profits and then go into wait-and-see mode.

I’m really counting on this bull run since I’ve been holding those altcoins for quite a while now.

If the coins or tokens are as crappy as seems to be implied, even or maybe especially if they are so crappy as to be widely regarded as "dead", depending on how many of them you have, and maybe almost more-so what percent of its total ever minted or maybe ever to be minted you have, revival might possibly be feasible; even despite huge "bags" of ancient coins sitting in gosh knows how many people's ancient data-archives the Galactic Milieu is still chugging along despite some number of its coins having been widely regarded as "dead" from time to time sometimes for a long time at a stretch...

Im not so sure if just selling altcoins a year after Bitcoin's halving is really the best plan.  Taking profits at the right time matters, yeah, but the market is more complicated than just Bitcoin's four-year "schedule" and  the whole altcoins follow Bitcoins cycle thing might be true in a basic sense, but theres a lot more going on under the surface.  Like way more factors impacting prices left and right.  So while the halving timeline gives a good high-level view, actually nailing the perfect time to sell involves getting into the weeds a bit more.  Maybe rigidly sticking to the sell after a year idea leaves gains on the table.  But hey, at the end of the day, do what works for you.  The altcoins markets can be tricky to figure out.

[Wakate]

Are you sure? Things are changing, altcoin season may never come again with the way things are unfolding. Let's enjoy it the way things are now.

Alt season is still on the way, this is January, between the period and February Alts won't make any significant growth, but I'm guessing from March and April the pumps will start on Alts. 

Everyone is still going to see some good movement in the market especially concerning altcoins. I am very convinced that by the time the price of Bitcoin starts the bull continuation, it is going to influence the price of many altcoins projects to continue with the bull. Every holders need to be patient at this time because the price of Bitcoin is still ranging and we could see some multiple read candles before the continuation. Anyone that is not holding a strong altcoins would be disappointed in this bull run because they will be waiting while other strong altcoins are creating new highs. We need to go get good altcoins now and swap those ones that are not responding well or have the tendency to create new highs

My main strat is to Focus on projects with strong fundamentals and avoid coins driven only by hype. Plan my exit strategy, and consider setting stop-losses to protect gains. After making a profit, I can reinvest in safer options like Bitcoin, Ethereum, or stablecoins to preserve value while waiting for new opportunities. I believe no one can perfectly time the market, so it’s better to lock in profits than risk losing them.

A good setup technique if we want to apply it. Of course, the selection is not arbitrary. Currently, BTC has not shown any signs of a strong increase and is still in a position to hold its support. Of course, this condition sometimes makes us happy and annoyed if we hold it and the most noticeable is those who hold altcoins if the closing is weak, it is not impossible that the price will quickly break down.
