I noticed an interesting pattern on the altcoin dominance chart — there are clearly two identical triangles, one from the previous cycle, and the second forming right now. This is quite indicative.
I remember last time, altcoins took a whole year to reach their peak. The growth cycle was from January 2021 to January 2022, and there was a serious correction in the summer (May-July). It seems history is repeating itself, but on a different level.
Regarding my strategy — I’m holding positions but being cautious. The plan is simple: hold until the beginning of May, then sell 70% of the portfolio and wait for August. Why August? Because summer in crypto is always tough. May-July is when altcoins usually dump, and corrections happen in waves. This has been proven multiple times in practice.
Bad news: the growth will take longer than many expect. Everyone wants a quick rise, but the altcoin dominance chart shows there’s no need to rush.
Good news — double. First: I see an 80% probability that the bottom is already behind us. From here, a smooth but confident rise should begin. Second: it gives us time. We have time to work, accumulate, buy more assets while prices are still low. This window won’t stay open forever, but it’s there.
