$BTC $ETH
Oh dear, brothers, this market is really fierce now. Only a few coins can keep up with Bitcoin (BTC) hitting new all-time highs; you could probably count them on one hand, like SOL, TON, and such. The rest can't keep up. According to recent market data, BTC has surged above $80,000, while many altcoins are still lying low. The strategy of leveraging altcoins at least three times to chase Bitcoin is completely out of style now; it has turned into a game where winners feast and losers are left out in the cold.
Look at those old coins on CEXs; many are still lingering at historical lows, and even some mainstream coins are far from their previous highs, like XRP and ADA, which have had poor growth over the past six months.
This bull market is truly different. The old strategy of holding on and waiting for a rebound might not work anymore. Now, you need to keep a close eye on those leading coins, especially those with ETFs (like the heated discussions around BTC and ETH spot ETFs), those supported by crypto treasury (such as stablecoin ecosystems), and projects backed by significant resources from their teams. These are the ones that have explosive potential.
Think about it: if the coins in your hands haven't had any decent news or updates over the past six months in such a hot market, the team has probably already given up. Don’t hesitate; quickly liquidate and move your funds to more vibrant projects. According to data from across the network, many of these zombie projects have recently dissolved or disappeared quietly; keeping them will only drag you down.
In the world of altcoins, it’s still ETH that calls the shots. Although BTC and BNB have both broken historical highs, the altcoins that have truly surged are almost all ETH-based, like GTC, SKL, EIGEN, ARB, ZK, and others. The infrastructure, DeFi, and L2 sectors are indeed powerful, but compared to the main coin ETH, they still seem insignificant. Take ARB, for example; the current price is just over $1, still more than double away from the previous high of $2.30. I'm a bit worried about the future trajectory of these altcoins; this gap might be widened by ETH, especially since ETH has ETF and upgrade narratives backing it.
According to my strategy, I would only allocate one or two percent of my portfolio to try these types of altcoins. The bulk of my investment should focus on the leading coins to ensure stability, lower risk, and steady returns. The crypto market is deep; everyone should keep an eye on real-time data and make their own judgments. Enjoy the profits, and learn from the losses. How are your altcoins performing?
