This cycle might be different for altcoins. Ethereum is poised to significantly outperform Bitcoin in the coming bull run, and historically, when ETH rallies, altcoins follow suit. The data suggests that alternative tokens typically need just 1 to 2 months to completely reverse years of downtrend pressure. That's the compressed timeline of crypto markets—what takes traditional assets years to recover, alts can accomplish in weeks. The key here: buying during periods of fear and panic has consistently rewarded patient accumulation. If you're sitting on the sidelines, spot accumulation at current levels offers asymmetric risk-reward. Most don't have the conviction to hold through volatility, but that's precisely where opportunities hide. Position yourself accordingly and let time do the work.
