Experts Warn on Altcoins: Is Altseason a Mirage? Unraveling the Future of Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH)

  • Analysts are suggesting that altcoins present a ‘relatively large’ risk as the days of large returns may be behind us.
  • Markus Thielen, research head at 10xResearch, acknowledges there are “tactical opportunities” for altcoins but they may not yield the large gains seen in previous cycles.
  • Michael van de Poppe, a popular analyst, argues that a portfolio heavily weighted towards altcoins is a significant risk.

Experts warn of the potential risks associated with altcoins, suggesting that the days of large returns may be over. However, some still see tactical opportunities in the market.

Markus Thielen: Tactical Opportunities Exist, But…

According to analysts, large gains are now less likely due to weak narratives driving the crypto market. As a result, altcoins are leaning towards the high risk, high reward theory. Markus Thielen, research head at 10xResearch, says “Tactical opportunities exist. However, the era of 100x returns may be over”. Despite market predictions of a bull market for altcoins this year, Thielen warns of a few new projects attracting non-crypto native traders and individual participation remaining low.

Michael van de Poppe: A Portfolio Heavily Weighted in Altcoins is a Big Risk!

Earlier this week, Solana-based memecoin GameStop (GME) surged by 2,727% following a meme post from trader Keith Gill’s “Roaring Kitty” account. During this price increase, GameStop briefly rose by 2,727%. Michael van de Poppe, founder of MN trading consultancy and popular analyst, evaluated this situation. Poppe claimed that a portfolio heavily weighted towards altcoins poses a “relatively large” risk. Despite this risk, van de Poppe recently switched all his Bitcoin (BTC) to altcoins, claiming he could “lose 50-80%”.

Fabio Andreatta: Even the Existence of an Altseason is Doubtful!

However, crypto investor Fabio Andreatta is skeptical about even the existence of an “altseason”. In response to van de Poppe’s post, Andreatta said “All you’re doing is increasing your risk. Your chances of outperforming Bitcoin are very low. Most altcoins will never reach their ATHs again”. As per TradingView data, Bitcoin’s dominance has increased by 2.12% in the last 7 days, reaching 56.05%, indicating a shift of capital away from altcoins in the wider market.

Conclusion

While some analysts see tactical opportunities in altcoins, the consensus seems to be that they present a significant risk. With Bitcoin’s dominance on the rise, the days of large returns from altcoins may indeed be over. Investors are advised to proceed with caution.
