Cryptocurrency analyst Michaël van de Poppe assessed the current state of the altcoin market and predicted its future prospects amidst economic changes.
Critique of the Four-Year Cycle
Van de Poppe argues that the traditional four-year cycle approach is no longer valid. He stated, 'The markets are still bad, we are experiencing the longest bear market in altcoins.' He noted that his own altcoin portfolio has lost more than 50% of its value, but this could signal a turning point for the market.
Investment Strategy
The analyst insists that an investment strategy should be based on price and risk management, not time. He warned, 'Time-based strategies will lead to major mistakes. Instead, a strategy based on price, indicators, and risk is needed.'
Altcoin Prospects
Van de Poppe pointed out that interest rate cuts and monetary expansion following economic weakness will lead to significant liquidity influx into the crypto market. He believes that the current cycle may be the last easy period for investors, but emphasized the need for patience. 'The next Bitcoin peak will be the peak of everything, and then the greatest economic depression in history will begin,' he added. Nevertheless, he remains optimistic about altcoins, pointing to recent signals of potential growth.
Michaël van de Poppe emphasizes that the altcoin market may be starting a new cycle despite current bearish sentiments. Investors should focus on risk management and acknowledge that traditional time cycles are no longer effective.
