Under the strength of Bitcoin, do altcoins really have no chance?

【Chain Wen】 Recently, there has been a very painful phenomenon: altcoins once rebounded due to the Bitcoin market cap share falling back, but the good times didn’t last long. As the entire crypto market’s total capitalization began to shrink, this rebound also came to an end.

Looking back over the past year or so, altcoins have indeed had a tough time. The entire market’s funds have been concentrated in Bitcoin, leaving altcoins largely neglected. Currently, although Bitcoin’s short-term momentum is also weakening, investors’ risk appetite has only been modestly restored, which means that the market for altcoins is likely to end in structural divergence—that is, a few leading coins will survive, while most mediocre tokens continue to lag behind.

The advice for traders is: don’t expect a turnaround, and avoid blindly chasing high prices. The current focus should be on those top assets with sufficient liquidity and trading depth, while strictly controlling risk and position sizes. This is not conservatism, but a response to market rhythm changes—the era of “long-term passive holding + dollar-cost averaging for easy gains” is over. Now, success depends on timing the entry and active trading skills. Choosing the right rhythm is the key to survival.
