At first, we might see Bitcoin ($BTC) leading the charge, while smaller investors, frustrated with flat-lining altcoins, may start selling at a loss, closing long positions, and shifting to shorts. Eventually, though, altcoins are likely to join the rally. But unlike past cycles, where massive 30x or 50x returns were common, this time around, gains in the range of 5x to 10x should be considered a success. With more tokens flooding the market, it’s harder for any one coin to soar. A few might still achieve astronomical 50x returns, but those will be rare gems in a vast field. Ironically, the biggest gains could come from coins with low hype or minimal utility.
For perspective, coins like Stellar and $XRP saw explosive 500x growth in 2017, but only reached 10x to 20x in 2021—a trend that might continue to cool. However, altcoins are still likely to rally this cycle. If not, small investors might pivot to assets like precious metals, which could impact the dollar and add inflationary pressure. Broad-based rallies also benefit platforms like Binance, which profit from market diversity rather than a one-sided rise.
This bull run might unfold in waves, with some coins—like Solana (SOL) and Dogecoin (DOGE)—having already hit their peak moves. Once smaller investors rotate out of their current positions, we may see renewed interest in staking coins like $ETH, DeFi tokens, layer-1 blockchains, BNB Chain, and fan tokens. The specific sequence may vary, but this rotation could ignite momentum across different sectors, powering a diverse rally.
Hold on and stay focused—this bull run could surprise us in ways we’ve never seen before!
