Bitcoin has plummeted by more than $11,000 from its recent FOMO-driven peak. Normally, the bearish momentum in the top cryptocurrency is enough to drag down the rest of the market, but select altcoins are holding up surprisingly well.

One altcoin expert who has traded his way through multiple bear and bull cycles, suggests watching for and buying any alts that are holding up especially well against BTC during the current drawdown. Here’s a closer look at a few cryptocurrencies that fit the bill.

Bitcoin Bleeds, But Buyers Focus on Accumulating Select Altcoins

Bitcoin and altcoins have an on-again, off-again relationship, which is no surprise for the two types of volatile digital assets.

Bitcoin typically must be bullish or consolidating for altcoins to perform well. When sentiment turns on the market leader, alts take a much worse beating.

This time around, certain alts are holding up against the market’s abuse more so than others, and one expert says that those are the crypto asset to buy for the biggest profits in the months ahead.

That expert is Nik Patel, author of An Altcoin Trader’s Handbook.

Why Investors Are Scooping Up Alts Over BTC Currently

Patel knows Bitcoin and altcoin cycles, and has made more than one fortune off of the repeating, cyclic patterns of cryptocurrencies. The author also in the past has explained alt season boom and bust cycles, where certain cryptocurrencies outperform BTC by a wide margin.

Altcoins like Ethereum, Chainlink, and Uniswap have been beating Bitcoin at its own game recently, and according to Patel, these might be coins worth paying closer attention to.

These alternative digital currencies showing strength when sentiment is turning on the leading cryptocurrency by market cap, says that buyers are buying the blood currently, but they are avoiding Bitcoin for now.

As to why altcoins could be holding up better than Bitcoin, it all comes down to unrealized profits. After the epic Bitcoin rally, investors have plenty of profit left to realize, before its too late. This results in the selloff becoming more severe.

The altcoins highlighted have all set a new all-time high, but still have much more to go before prices double like they have in Bitcoin. On the flip side, there are some alts out there that aren’t anywhere near in profit, and given the lack of interest still, likely won’t be in the near future.

I'm Tony Spilotro. Behind the pseudonym, I'm a digital media executive and global remote work leader with a decade of content experience and excellent. Here, I explore my newfound passions pertaining to privacy, finance, economics, politics, cryptography, property rights, and other libertarian-esque views. I am a Bitcoin evangelist, maximalist, and educator whenever I can be, helping to spread its message of freedom from government control, monetary policy mismanagement, and passing the buck - literally – to future generations. My journey from a curious retail crypto investor to a serious Bitcoin advocate, trader, and technical analyst is an unusual one, but life-changing nonetheless and has become less about money and more about a long-overdue revolution. While a firm believer in the laws governing math and science, I am profoundly fascinated by the impact of astrology and astronomy including moon and solar cycles and planetary alignment and their ability to influence and potentially predict markets. It hasn't yet clicked for me as to how to put anything to use, but I consider it my current rabbit hole I can't yet dig out of. My perspective of growing up alongside the internet, the dot com era, the Great Recession, and roots in video games collecting coins and rare items caused Bitcoin to immediately make sense to me. Through all of these lenses, I seek to produce content that is educational and entertaining, and I thank you sincerely for taking the time to read what I have to say. Please follow me on Twitter and feel free to drop me a line if you would like to work together.
