Shared in our VIP telegram channel regarding the current crypto market volatility.

Hey guys, it’s Richard Fetyko, CEO of altFINS. Here are my thoughts on the recent volatility.

Crypto market has ignored many positives recently, like:

1) friendly SEC dropping lawsuits,

2) crypto exchanges (Coinbase) and brokers (Robinhood, eToro) listing more altcoins

3) strategic crypto reserve (US, Australia, US states),

4) more ETF filings (XRP, SOL, LTC, HBAR, MOVE, etc.).

I’m sure I missed others.

Yet, we find ourselves in a Bear market where most alts are well below their highs in Dec 2024 (70% lower or worse) and most alts are even below the levels prior to US elections (Nov 6th) and many are lower than Nov 2022 after FTX blow up!!

Crazy. WHY?

Cause of macro-economics.

First it was inflation creeping back up, which forced the FED central bank to pause interest rate cuts.

Then it was Trump’s tarrifs that have created uncertainty because they could further ignite inflation and slow global economy. There are probably also other factors aside from tarrifs.

Also, MEME mania sucked out liquidity from real projects and destroyed capital and retail traders.

SO WHAT COULD HELP?

Ironically, if the US economy really slows down and unemployment rises (also due to DOGE cutting gov jobs), the FED will need to start cutting interest rates to stimulate the economy.

This still needs time to play out and the markets may dip / crash more when signs of recession become obvious.

Then it’ll be the start of a new huge bull market.

Protect your capital to be in a position to capitalize on that major bull run in 2H – 2025!

Until then, we’ll need to thread carefully with surgical, short-term swing trades in either direction.

Here are some strategies on altFINS to profit from the current market regime:

Use this market scan to find assets are are VERY oversold, regardless of the prevailing trend.

3. Wait for reversal pattern breakouts. Many assets are trading in a Falling Wedge or Channel Down pattern. These typically results in a bullish breakout, which are followed by at least temporary trend reversals.

Find such trade setups in our AI Chart Patterns and Technical Analysis sections, and create alerts for such breakouts.
