Most currencies are following a converging triangle; pay attention to whether the breakout of the triangle has volume. If it holds on the retracement, then go in with spot trading. Trump's addition of the New Year isn't a big issue. I can't say whether the big market of altcoins will come again, but liquidity has already been activated, and their volatility has occurred.
I am relatively optimistic about SOL; personal decisions are advised.
Earlier it was mentioned that now only spot trading is done, as contracts can be easily exploited; with significant divergence, there are many spikes, making it unsuitable for contracts. Contracts are only suitable for operation when ETH is on a one-sided rally.
