When fear grips the market, it's your cue to get greedy.

Altcoins are plunging just like in mid-2021.

This might be your golden opportunity to buy the dip ahead of the final Alt-season.

Here are the top projects on my radar.

Firstly, let's zoom out for a second.

BTC is only 11% below ATHs
BTC Dominance continues to trend up
ETH/BTC is still trending down
Alts are getting rekt

I think we are still in the first phase of a structural bull market.

Don't panic, the fun isn't over.

Every crypto bull market has seen a 30%+ correction in BTC dominance, signaling a proper "Alt-season."

This hasn't happened yet in this cycle. BTC.D has been rising since 2022 and hasn't broken down. When it does, this is when the real party starts.

Some argue that there won't be another altseason due to the explosion of new coins, aka "altcoin dispersion."

I believe it will still occur but in a more subdued form, as liquidity is now spread across many more coins. This means we need to be much more selective with our bags.

Perhaps we were also just ahead of schedule. Historically, BTC breaks its ATHs after the halving, not before, like in March '24.

So, what does this mean for altcoins? Is this just a routine correction? Let’s dive into the $OTHERS chart (marketcap of all tokens outside the top 10).

Let's examine the 2021 bull market, which experienced a similar summer correction:

70% correction from May to July 2021
280% increase from July to November 2021

Those who stayed patient and added to their positions saw excellent gains.

Fast forward to 2024.

We are in a very similar summer lull.

Currently, we are down 40% from the highs of March 2024. If the pattern from 2021 repeats, there could be more downside ahead.

However, a 280% surge, similar to the second half of 2021, could push the market cap of $OTHERS to $1 trillion+.
