Recently, a frequent topic has been circulating—do altcoins still have a chance in spot trading? Instead of constantly watching the daily charts and flipping back and forth, it’s better to analyze the current market structure.

Let’s look at some market signals:

During the large-scale liquidation in mid-October, many contract investors were driven out, resulting in a noticeable reduction in selling pressure for altcoins. The main players’ cost to push prices up decreased, which is a typical sign before a market rally. Historically, before the altcoin seasons in 2021 and 2023, similar situations occurred—most retail investors were on the sidelines or even openly said the risks were too high to touch.

Now, consider the timing factor. Entering the fourth quarter, approaching the Christmas season, which is a traditional window for market rallies. Project teams need to boost their year-end financial reports and prepare for year-end funding. This seasonal demand recurs every year, similar to companies pushing for year-end performance. Last year, the market already showed signs of accumulating strength, and this year’s chances are not low.

Speaking of this, the crypto circle often sees opportunities from a contrarian perspective. When 90% of people are hesitant about altcoin spot trading, that’s precisely when “the panic of the majority creates a good entry point.” The more hesitant you are to enter, the greater the risk of missing out.

However, controlling the pace is especially crucial. Start with small positions to test the waters—never go all-in. Choose coins with real ecological support, and avoid air projects. When reaching key levels, take profits in batches. True gains come from securing profits, not just paper unrealized gains.
