Ansem: Strong altcoins will continue to emerge during the bull market, and investors should consistently seek alpha.

On October 4 that crypto trader Ansem stated that frequently monitoring the market and assessing price trends based on 15-minute candlestick charts can easily lead to overtrading. Investors should manage their spot, perpetual contract, and on-chain high-risk trading accounts separately, rather than attempting to capture every local top and bottom, which could undermine long-term investment returns. Instead of frequent trading, it is advisable to study historical bull markets and observe how long upward trends typically persist.

Ansem noted that altcoin bull runs are generally faster, often outperforming the broader market for 4 to 6 months before new market leaders emerge, particularly after seeing more than 10x growth in market cap. Nevertheless, this cycle may present a few exceptions, as the revenues of certain altcoins could grow significantly alongside price appreciation, with their fundamentals improving in tandem.

He pointed out that in past cycles, altcoins primarily topped out due to shifting market attention and fading bullish momentum. However, if fundamentals such as project revenues undergo material shifts in this cycle, institutional capital may continue to buy aggressively, necessitating that investors promptly revise their prior assessments based on new developments.

Ansem stated that during the previous cycle, Bitcoin bottomed in January 2023 and peaked in October 2025, with the uptrend lasting roughly 33 months. If this cycle has already bottomed in July, we are currently only in the fourth month.

Ansem believes that within longer-term bull markets, multiple "mini-bulls" led by specific altcoins will also emerge. Investors should identify these periodically dominant assets and continuously compound profits into high-performing targets, gradually transforming short-term winners into long-term investments.
