The much-anticipated 2021 "Copycat Season" did not arrive as expected.

Here, I’ll explain why and offer some tips for optimizing your copycat strategy.

First, let’s define “copycat season”.

Definition: When alts outperform $BTC and the overall value surges.

This was a boom period for the copycat market, fueled by the frenzy of the market.

Think of it as a rising tide that lifts all boats.

That’s what a strong copycat season does — it boosts nearly every industry.

But the approval of this Bitcoin ETF has changed the landscape of the altcoin market.

Before the advent of ETFs, investors primarily purchased Bitcoin through Tier 1 centralized exchanges (T1-CEXs).

This is good for copycats because it promotes a trickle-down effect of liquidity.

Investors can easily switch from Bitcoin to investing in altcoins.

This time, however, the situation for investors is different.

Those who buy Bitcoin through an ETF face a more complicated path to enter the altcoin market.

Is there still a copycat season this round?

Are many people regretting not investing in Bitcoin, Ethereum, or even Sol?

They believe that the current bull market is only for Bitcoin, and the performance of altcoins is terrible, so they have lost confidence in this bull market in altcoins.

And I can tell you clearly that the copycat season will definitely be here.

This bull market trend is different from the past, as truly valuable applications in the blockchain industry begin to be implemented one after another.

Traditional professional financial institutions are involved. Will these professional institutions and excellent investors think the same way as retail investors? Obviously not.

A professional background check team, an excellent technical team, a professional risk control system, and their own mature trading decisions will not allow them to have more opportunistic operations like retail investors.

The consequence of this will make valuable investment targets more obvious, which means the strong will become stronger and the weak will become weaker.

If we understand it from this point of view, then our previous inherent thinking or what the old investors thought was that as long as the bull market in the cryptocurrency circle comes, we will make money by buying anything with our eyes closed.

The facts have come to this day. Will it be fruitful to just hold on to the currency? If you hold on to the currency that has no value, it is unknown whether you can make money in the end. It is also unknown whether you can get your money back.

Once you reach this stage, what will you do? Have you thought of a corresponding strategy now?

If not, then why do we think that the bull market is coming and everyone can make a lot of money, and others deserve to lose money?

Trading in the cryptocurrency world is like marching to war. If you are not sure of winning, then it is wise not to participate in the war. At least you will not suffer any losses.

Is it worth buying at the bottom now?

The market has been adjusting since March 14, almost six months ago. The volatility during this period is not unfamiliar, but there is a key point that you cannot ignore:

The market tends to fall in September every year, but often rises in October!

So, while September's dip may seem discouraging, it could also be your perfect time to buy.

In fact, the altcoin can no longer fall: It is very obvious that the decline of Bitcoin in the past two days has not effectively led to panic selling of altcoins, so as long as Bitcoin has a big positive line in the future, the market and confidence of altcoins will return.

Pessimists will say that the market will fall further in September, but optimists believe that this is the time when you can enter the market at a low price and prepare for the upcoming rise!

You have to know that with limited funds, how to choose the target and manage the position is directly related to your profit and loss ratio. This is the key.

Remember, accurate selection and strategic management are the secrets to success!

With the interest rate cut in September and the arrival of Q4, I think we don’t have many opportunities left to buy at the bottom, so we should cherish it.
