Each cycle is like that:
95% of altcoins only increase by about 10–50%. 5% of altcoins are rare gems that can bring 50x–100x.
👉 So how to filter out the strong coins and ignore the weak ones? Let's go into detail.
Not All Altcoins Increase or Decrease the Same Way
In all markets:
There are coins that demonstrate superior strength. There are coins that are sluggish and even lagging behind.
A common mistake is to only look at the USDT chart ( priced in USD ) without comparing it to BTC or other altcoins.
Classic Example: $ETH vs $SOL
To know which coin is stronger, don't analyze individually – compare directly.
Beginning of the bull cycle 2021–2022: SOLBTC: price is right at the macro support area (macro support ) ETHBTC: has risen, overvalued
📌 Result: SOL has surged strongly, while ETH is sluggish.
SOL: +3,857%ETH: +443%
If you only look at the USD chart, you will find it hard to see this difference.
$XRP – 7-Year Accumulation Lesson
Many people criticize XRP as "dead", but in reality, it is just in a huge accumulation phase.
When comparing:
XRPBTC & XRPETH → you will see the moment the price is about to explode.
📌 Lesson: coins that have been forgotten for a long time but still have strong fundamentals often bounce back fiercely.
$LINK – Notable High-cap Coin
LINK/BTC has been consolidating for a long time at the important HTF support zone.
The price even briefly pierced the support (fakeout) → then bounced back strongly. This is a classic setup for a big rally.
Objective: if BTC continues to accumulate, LINK can definitely move towards the $50+ zone.
The Golden Rule When Filtering Coins for Altseason
Before buying, always compare crosswise:
Any alt: compared to BTC & ETH Memecoin: compared to SOL ( because the Solana system is currently the center of memecoin )
👉 Buy at the HTF support area ( where major pump events originated ).
👉 Avoid buying when alt has increased too much compared to BTC/ETH.
Summary
Don't buy altcoins based on emotions. Always compare with BTC, ETH, or SOL to know if the coin is strong or weak. Look for coins that have accumulated for a long time in support zones – those are the potential candidates for x50–x100.
Soon, I will share a list of top altseason bets based on this method.
