As the year draws to a close, following crypto traders with the right knowledge and expertise could be one of the best strategies for maximizing gains in the year ahead. While many claim to be “top analysts,” not all have earned the distinction of being top traders.

In this article, BeInCrypto highlights five of the best crypto traders to follow in December 2024. These individuals have been chosen for specific reasons, which you will discover as you read on.

DonAlt

DonAlt, a pseudonymous handle on X (formerly Twitter), is one of the top crypto traders to follow in December 2024. As the name sounds, the trader, who has 618,500 followers on X, mainly analyzes altcoins.

But in addition to X, the analyst also has a YouTube channel called “TechnicalRoundup” with over 63,000 subscribers. Recently, DonAlt shared on X that he expects the price of Ethereum (ETH) to climb.  

The analyst, however, noted that this would only happen as long as Vitalik Buterin and the Ethereum Foundation stop dumping the cryptocurrency.

“Bought some ETH on this retrace. Probably early, and I could see this take forever or even break down in typical ETH fashion but gonna give it one last shot. May Vitalik stop dumping on us,” DonAlt wrote.

CryptoCred

CryptoCred, with about 664,000 followers, is another top crypto trader to follow in December 2024. The good thing about following Cred is that he goes beyond posting his thesis. Instead, the analyst consistently releases educational content for both newbies and experienced traders. 

Interestingly, the analyst operates the same YouTube channel as DonAlt. Instead of focusing on altcoins, Cred mostly shares his thesis on Bitcoin (BTC). Therefore, if your focus is on knowing how BTC can perform, then CryptoCred could be one of the best to follow.

EmperorBTC

Like CryptoCred, EmperorBTC is an analyst who shares educational content and mainly focuses on BTC. With expertise in technical analysis, the trader has 408,000 followers on X, suggesting that his insights have attracted many crypto enthusiasts.

A look at his X page shows that, on November 20, the trader noted that he expects BTC to trade higher. EmperorBTC, however, disclosed that the cryptocurrency might encounter one last decrease between $88,000 and $89,000 for that to happen.

RookieXBT

As a trader with 464,900 followers on X, RookieXBT has been sharing insights on several cryptocurrencies for some years. This has earned him a status as one of the best traders to follow in this highly volatile market. 

RookieXBTC focuses mainly on Bitcoin and Ethereum. However, the analyst also shares his opinion on other assets with his followers. On November 21, the traders posted a chart suggesting that BTC can trade at new highs.

Trader TheCryptoDog, who started mining Bitcoin in 2011, is also one of the top crypto traders to follow in December 2024. However, unlike CryptoCred, and a host of other trades, TheCryptoDog does not limit his analysis to Bitcoin and altcoins.

The trader also engages in trading meme coins and positioning for airdrops. Thus, if anyone is interested in getting insights on meme coins and altcoins, TheCryptoDog is one trader to follow.
