Today, let's talk about how to choose altcoins and when is the best time to buy them.
Currently, altcoins are showing a good performance, and the market is cooperating well. Altcoins have indeed started a small trend. Many people love trading altcoins because of the high volatility and excitement. Today, I will specifically clarify two questions: at what stage should you buy? What kind of altcoins should you buy?
First, what kind of altcoins are worth buying? I think they should meet the following conditions:
1️⃣ Highly synchronized with Bitcoin's trend, such as ETH, SOL, XRP—absolutely avoid those with independent price movements. Because you can roughly judge where the altcoin is in its trend by observing BTC's trend.
2️⃣ Have a large market cap, real-world application, and positive revenue. Projects like small tokens, earning thousands or hundreds of dollars on-chain daily, or even just tens of dollars, are essentially just living off continuous coin selling. Pumping the market has costs, but unlimited coin issuance at zero cost.
3️⃣ Have high trading volume. Some coins only have tens of thousands of dollars in daily trading volume, which is likely generated by bots. Such coins tend to spiral down to zero eventually.
4️⃣ Most importantly: avoid coins that are heavily promoted, aggressively marketed, or hyped by influencers.
Only coins that meet all four criteria above are worth your close attention.
When is the right time to buy?
To make it simple, let's use wave theory:
The first wave of Bitcoin's rise, called Wave A, is not the time to buy altcoins. You should wait until Bitcoin enters Wave B or a Wave 2 correction before considering entering the market. Most altcoins only start to trend after Bitcoin enters its main upward wave. Before that, they mostly drift slowly downward, which can be very frustrating.
