Why This Bull Cycle Will Be Different I've said it before and I'll say it again. This bull cycle is going to be unlike any we've seen before! Each category or coin will experience its own unique rally and even though there will certainly be a crypto rally, its momentum will be lower. Here’s how past cycles compare:
- 2017-2018 Bull Run: Average coins saw 200x to 1000x gains, even established ones like XRP, XLM, $ETH and $LTC . - 2021 Bull Run: The average coin delivered a more modest return of 10x to 20x despite unprecedented quantitative easing. - 2024-2025 Bull Run: I predict average coins will achieve just 3x to 5x gains.
Why Gains Will Be Smaller This Time 1. Increased Number of Coins: The market has expanded from 1,500 altcoins in 2018 to 10,500 today, negatively diluting growth potential. 2. Macroeconomic Pressures: The Federal Reserve is going to maintain high interest rates and is unlikely to pursue monetary expansion in 2025. A potential recession and stagflation risk adds further uncertainty as well. 3. Market Dynamics Have Shifted: Price movements are driven more by liquidations rather than organic growth.
Expectations for This Bull Cycle Most coins have already achieved 1.5x to 2x gains from their bottoms. I foresee the following: - 3x potential from current values for most coins as we enter the new year. - A long liquidation phase, a mini rally and then a shift to a bear market. Note: Rare exceptions like Phala coin may still achieve 5x gains once in a while, but they’re hard to identify and whales/exchanges can limit their growth if you invest too much to obscure coins.
What You Should Do 1. Take Profits Gradually: Sell incrementally and avoid keeping your principal in coins that have made 2x to 3x gains. 2. Avoid Risky Moves: Don’t invest money you can’t afford to lose or borrow funds for crypto. Gambling might yield a win once, but it eventually leads to losses. 3. Stay Cautious with Overhyped Coins: Avoid coins that have already surged, they might crash. 4. Don’t rely on crypto influencers but only you!
Apart from fan tokens only one Binance token did not have its futures trading launched and it is none other than $TKO , which $BNB Binance acquired in 2022 from Indonesia!
$AAVE short squeeze has been going on, be careful guys. Just like $MKR had pumped from 500$ to 4000$ in about 9 months (without solid reason) and then crashed back to 1000$, Aave has started a strong upside momentum from 50$ to where it is now. However it will not last forever and it will probably share the same destiny as Maker. Remember, crypto is all about short and long liquidations, rather than the strength of projects. That is why it is always smarter and safer to invest in coins that have not risen like $CAKE or Tko.
Good investment, the next tokens to be listed on futures trading will be Tko and other Binance fan tokens, so be prepared!
TKO 20U
--
Buy 5000 more $TKO , the brave ones will be fed to death, the timid ones will starve to death, please witness my sudden wealth next year #Tokocrpto $WRX $TKO
After the correction of $BTC and $ETH , $LDO will be one of the first ones to pump IMO, since Grayscale just expanded its portfolio with trusts for Lido DAO...
All Alpaca, $BSW and $SANTOS coins from BSC ecosystem have been listed on Binance Futures providing them to make 2.5x-3x returns. And guess what is the next one to be listed? It is no one but $TKO !
In the US Staking approval for $ETH ETFs is on the agenda. In this case, $RPL , which Coinbase has strategically invested in, may be the number one candidate. This expectation may be the reason for this unexpected pump...
Previously, $ETH would rise and then the alts would accompany it, now market makers and exchanges who see that investors are holding large amounts of Eth and Eth-based coins (i.e., Defi, layer 2, staking) are trying not to increase Ethereum contrary to expectations.
Just as the 2021 bull run was a unique event for that time in that we had experienced two consecutive bull runs, the interesting thing about this bull run will probably be that Ethereum and eth-based coins would not increase at the beginning.
But when the increase occurs, I expect a very sharp rise from $ETH like $BTC 's 3x increase!..
After $SANTOS fan token was listed on the futures market and made a sudden 2.5x pump, it is now time for $TKO , $ALPINE , Lazio and Porto. Tko is not a fan token but it is the primary investment of Binance from Indonesia and could be the next BNB. So set your sell orders ready for a sudden futures listing...
This bull run is different! Each category is experiencing a bull run in turn. Memecoins (doge, shib, pepe, floki etc.) and Layer 1 coins (hbar, algo, xrp, xlm, ada, xvg, xtz etc.) have risen significantly. Now it's time for other categories: BSC Coins (bnb, cake, $TKO etc.), Ethereum/Layer 2s/Defi coins ($ETH , ethfi, lido, arb, op, uni etc.), RWA category (poly, mkr, icp, avax etc.), AI category (fet, grt, nmr, rlc etc.), Fan Tokens ($CHZ , santos, alpine, psg etc.) and other categories...
As someone who always wants people to make a profit and never shills coins, I have 3 important tips that I also emphasized before:
1. I don't recommend selling the coins you hold at a loss just because they haven't risen, it's probably not time yet. 2. At the same time, I recommend you to make a basket so that you don't stay out of the rise and ruin your psychology. remember, if your psychology is disturbed, you can get carried away by fomo and buy from the top. At the same time, making a basket will also be beneficial in terms of transferring your profit to categories that have not yet risen and increasing your overall profit. 3. And most importantly, know how to exit in a bull run on time! No coin will increase continuously and most will be wiped out! Be aware that there is an economic crisis waiting for the world.
After $SANTOS Fan token's futures listing, many folks are expecting other Binance fan tokens like $ALPINE and Lazio to follow this trend but I expect $TKO to be the new futures listed coin. That is why allocate some of your money to Tko. The price is deliberately being suppressed right now, so patience is key.
The problem with $TKO is that there are lots of HODLERS of it expecting it to be the next $BNB from Indonesia. And unfortunately in crypto they don't distribute money that easily. That is why it is always a great idea to make a basket of your investments. So that if price of Tko gets stuck for a long time, you make money from elsewhere and put your profit into Tko.
As I mentioned in my previous post, we are experiencing an "unsynchronized bull run", the aim is to make investors sell the coins they bought in a hurry because they think they will never increase and to buy coins that have already peaked. First Btc and memecoins rose, now layer1s such as XRP and XLM are rising. In the next stage, evaluate the categories that have not yet risen yet: $ETH and eth-based coins ($LDO , $ETHFI , Uni, Eigen etc.), BNB-based coins (Tko, Cake, Xvs etc.), file storage coins (Storj, Filecoin etc.), fan tokens (Santos, Alpine, Lazio, Porto, PSG etc), AI coins (Fet, Rlc, Grt etc), RWA coins (Polyx, Hbar etc) etc. We do not know in what order these will rise, but I recommend you to make a basket. and as you make profit, at least transfer your profit money to the categories that have not risen. There are many problems waiting for the world: a possible ww3, recession risk, economic and social consequences of global warming, increasing china-us competition, taiwan problem etc. At the same time, the number of coins have also increased compared to previous two cycles. Therefore, do not wait for the big profits of the past and at least set aside your principal having made a profit after a run of 2x or 3x.
This bull run seems to be a little different than the previous ones. First, $BTC will explode, small investors who see that their own altcoins are not increasing will sell at a loss, longs will close and shorts will open; after that, altcoins will go. As I said before, I do not expect 30x or 50x runs in this bull run in general. If you see a figure between 5x and 10x, I would say be happy with it. Because as the number of coins increases, the rate of coins exploding decreases. There will also be coins that increase by 50x, but these are like looking for a needle in a haystack. Coins that do not have investors and are of no use will increase the most.
Coins like Stellar and $XRP which made 500x in 2017, made a profit between 10x and 20x in 2021. Now this rate will decrease even more... On the other hand, altcoins will definitely join the bull run, otherwise small investors will rush into precious metals and this will mean the dollar losing value and inflation increasing. Also, if only Btc rises up, interest in exchanges like Binance and Coinbase will decrease, so exchanges would definitely not like this scenario to happen.
Let me add that this bull run may not happen simultaneously. Coins like Sol and Doge may have experienced the majority of their bull runs early on. After small investors sell their coins at a loss and join these already hyped coins, it may be the turn of $ETH staking coins and Defi, then it will come to layer 1s, then it will come to BNB Chain and fan tokens (the order is not important here, you got the idea).
Edit: I did not expect this post to be my most upvoted one. Thanks for the interest! And as I always say avoid margin and invest in spot trading only!
$BTC $ETH $ETHFI I know you all are feeling down, friends, but what you do is simple; Staying away from leverage and putting your spot purchases into a cold wallet.
They manipulated the market well before Ethereum EFTs were launched, and more than $1 billion was liquidated within three days. It is not a coincidence that they serve Mt Gox Btc redistribution and Germany's Btc sales news at these times.
I think 100x is not a very realistic target in the 2025 bull run due to the number of altcoins that have increased several times compared to the previous bull run, the known war environment and the inflation that has not been fully restrained. My target will be gradual sales starting from 5x. Then, if the market goes down again, I will start buying gradually. I think we have now evolved into a buy-sell market.
Remember, if there is fear in the market, buy "incremental" goods, and if there is greed, sell "incremental" goods.
Before the Ethereum ETF is approved, they are trying to liquidate the last longs and scare the spotters into selling. Its TVL value is over $6 billion and its market cap is $300 million. I think the next bull will do well. However, make your purchases and sales gradually...
All balances in crypto are changing and the cards are being redistributed, so to speak. Normally, I would have expected Chz to rise to at least 20 cents before the European Cup started, but when there were many spotters and long sellers, they preferred to press down. On the other hand, $CRV , which was said to be sinking, gained 50 percent in value in 2 days.
Still, I am hopeful about Chz and fan tokens in the medium term. I don't think it is important that Chz's supply is unlimited, many coins have and will remove the max supply anyway (like Zil, Iota, Cfx etc.). Even more interestingly, even the max supply of $BNB is no longer visible on the CoinMarketCap site, which also belongs to Binance. Long story short, every coin and token will increase when the time comes.
I always say BASKET BASKET BASKET! Don't just buy Fan tokens. Due to the Ethereum ETF hype, also buy ethereum based tokens (like Ldo, Ethfi, Uni); Buy $TKO , the token of the stock exchange that Binance bought in Indonesia, and hold it until it hits the bull's eye. If you do these, even if one part of the basket does not increase, your psychology will not be upset when the other part increases and you will not get caught up in FOMO and buy from the top.
Just as what I said about $LINK before it went up, I expect an increase of 30 to 40 percent in the mid term from $HBAR as well. It has been consolidating for some time. If you own ledger withdraw it to your cold wallet after configuring with Hashpack.
With that being said I do not expect it to reach 2-3 dollars in the next bull run, simply because of the vast amount of coins being created daily. So increases would be modest and even if it breaks its ATH, it would be huge surprise for me if it breaks the 1 USD level. That is why I am going to start to gradually take profits starting at 0.45 USD all the way up to 0.9 USD.
Since investors have started to sell at a loss, it means that the exit is near. This is the bad side of investing in a single coin; when the price is suppressed, people's psychology deteriorates and sales occur at a loss; And if you enter into a coin that has peaked with what you sold, it means you are screwed.
Place your gradual sell orders below $3 and save your money.
Footnote: You can invest some of your money in #TKO token, which belongs to Indonesia-based Tokocrypto, which is owned by Binance. It will have a good rally in the next bull run, but buy gradually without waiting for it to reach the ATH level, because frankly I do not expect 100xs like before.
