I made a mistake in my Altcoin portfolio this week.
This week we've clearly seen that there's just no conviction in the altcoin markets.
They run up alongside Bitcoin, but the moment Bitcoin calms down, you'll start to see that there's a lot of downwards momentum in those altcoins.
If Bitcoin corrects by 3-4%, altcoins come back down by 15-25% or even more.
Earlier in the week, I've decided to sell a portion of my positions to be swapping those.
I've rotated $1,000 from Renzo into Wormhole and I've added another $1,000 from the cash position into Wormhole at $0.0160.
The good part of this is that I defined clearly where to be taking chips of the table. That was a good decision.
However, rotating into another asset wasn't the right strategy.
Rather:
- The correlation is substantially high between assets. I could have added into $HYPE in order to lower my correlation of my portfolio.
- If the correlations are this high + #Bitcoin has seen a strong run = more conservative approach on entries = longer in cash until 4H/1D provide a clear overstretched sigma variation in favor of buying the dip (including a low RSI level).
In that scenario, before I made the decision to be selling $1,000 in REZ, this asset has already ran upwards by 150%+ from the lows.
The total position size at this point: $6,400.
In hindsight, I'd rather be looking at the following strategy after a multi-week upwards run on the markets:
- Closing between 20-40% of the Renzo position.
- Closing between 10-25% of the Optimism position after the recent run.
That would have increased my cash position from $4,000 to $8,000-10,000.
If I'd remain patient on the entry points, I'd be using $1,000-3,000 in the past 48 hours during those dips and improved the entire positioning of my altcoin entries.
Ultimately, you might be down a lot on your portfolio, that doesn't mean that you can't trade it back towards profits through compounding the returns.
For instance, improving your entry positions on $3,000 in cash, generating an additional 30-40% return on that improves the entire portfolio by 2-3% in a few weeks.
At this point, given the recent correction and the CME gap, I don't think we'll see much more downwards momentum, and I'd rather conclude that we're more likely at the end of its correction (or perhaps a red Monday to start with before we go back up), so I'm not willing to sell at this point.
As stated earlier, I'm sharing everything that I do on my portfolio and I'm happy to do that.
I do believe that these few years are the final years where you can achieve a great return on a portfolio through trading #Altcoins, so I'd like to take that opportunity with both of my hands.
What trades did you make during the week?

@Navysteve3 @yarvin_stoltz Das ist die Sicht eines naiven Endnutzers.

Links Dotcom-Blase
Rechts aktueller Bullenmarkt
🚨 Der Nasdaq ist seit dem Tief der Finanzkrise um über +2.700% gestiegen.
Fast exakt dieselbe Größenordnung wie während der Dotcom-Blase vor dem Crash 2000. 👀
Damals glaubte man:
➡️ Das Internet verändert alles.
Heute heißt es:
➡️ AI verändert alles.
Und ehrlich?
Beides stimmt wahrscheinlich sogar.
Der Unterschied ist nur:
1999 bestanden viele Tech-Unternehmen aus Fantasie, PowerPoint-Präsentationen und Verlusten.
Heute drucken die Big-Tech-Konzerne reale Milliarden:
🇺🇸 Nvidia
🇺🇸 Microsoft
🇺🇸 Meta
🇺🇸 Amazon
Das macht die aktuelle Situation gleichzeitig stabiler…
…aber auch gefährlicher.
Denn wenn ALLE wissen, dass AI die Zukunft ist, steckt diese Erwartung irgendwann komplett im Preis. 📈
Was mir Sorgen macht:
extreme Konzentration auf wenige Mega-Caps
massive ETF-Zuflüsse
Retail-FOMO
Call-Option-Manie
„diesmal ist alles anders“-Narrative
Die Chartstruktur wirkt erschreckend ähnlich zur Dotcom-Phase:
📉 parabolische Bewegungen
📉 exponentielle Beschleunigung
📉 Euphorie am Höhepunkt
Heißt das automatisch ein 80%-Crash wie 2000?
Nein.
Aber:
Eine harte Nasdaq-Korrektur von 20–40% wäre historisch absolut nichts Außergewöhnliches.
Vor allem nicht nach einem der brutalsten Bullenmärkte aller Zeiten.
Der größte Unterschied zu damals:
💵 Zentralbank-Liquidität
💵 passive ETFs
💵 gigantische institutionelle Kapitalströme
Das kann Überbewertungen deutlich länger tragen als viele denken.
Was meint ihr?

@PeterLBrandt @jalanfoster Looking at a altcoin to usd Chart is dumb, that kind of stuff doesn’t matter. Look instead sui/btc

@jalanfoster Are you as big of a fool as you appear to be

If this pattern deviates as well, it wouldn’t just break a 7/7 reversal pattern, it would also invalidate a 12/12 inverse movement pattern that’s held consistently for over a year.
I understand that no pattern lasts forever, and eventually they all break. But after gaining 150K followers in just 3 months, it’s hard not to feel somewhat targeted when the exact pivots I’ve used for may months are suddenly breaking down.
It does seem like the algorithm is being adjusted, more abruptly than I expected. Still, just because patterns begin to fail doesn’t mean they were never valid.
Right now, this looks like clear manipulation/ expansion phase to me. I still view this as a bear market rally, and that perspective won’t change unless we see a historical deviation significant enough to justify it.
If my swing short gets stopped out, I’m not chasing anything, I’ll step back and wait until August to accumulate $BTC spot instead.
Not much you can do. It is what it is.

$BTC Its the 5th of May soon. 12/12 times we have seen a inverse narrative movement around the 5th of each month. This time around, we are seeing a strong bullish narrative. Will we see the same pattern unfold based on the past year of data?

@Davincij15 All of the influencers are on the same page…and keep in mind, most of the time they are wrong

In the 2017-18 cycle, #Bitcoin had 9 red monthly candles before the bottom.
In the 2021-22 cycle, BTC had 9 red monthly candles before the bottom.
This time, BTC only had 5 red monthly candles, which means the bottom might not be in yet.

@FilipsMoneyX Weil man sich die meisten kein äquivalentes Haus für 3000 Euro kalt mieten können und kein Bock haben in eine kleine Wohnung umzuziehen wenn der Markt schlecht läuft…einzig richtige Antwort ist „why not both“, Eigentum und investieren
Deutsch

Das Haus auf Pump in der Pampa kaufen macht überhaupt keinen Sinn!
Das Haus in der Pampa mieten + sein Geld anderweitig investieren macht aber durchaus Sinn
Nehmen wir an eine junge Familie schafft es 200.000€ anzusparen. Nun hat sie zwei Optionen:
1) Eigenkapital für ein Haus auf Pump in der Pampa (was für die meisten ein finanzieller Armageddon ist)
2) Haus mieten + Geld anders anlegen
Das gleiche Lebensgefühl. Im ersten Szenario hat man aber wohl in 30 Jahren ein wertloses Haus
Im zweiten Szenario hat die Familie mehrere Millionen € Vermögen
Wieso nehmen trotzdem so viele Familien Option 1?

@TonySeverinoCMT @cryptosmallie @chrono_chartist Actually Rick is right, Ben called lengthening cycle back in 2021 which was wrong, missed ATH run in 2024 before halving, called ETH over 5k, etc. Just a few examples, and in bull markets everyone is a genius

@cryptosmallie @chrono_chartist Prickus got his last trade call right so his recency bias makes him a god among mere mortals

@FilipsMoneyX Genau der ist einer der Gründe warum Wien sich so entwickelt hat 😅

The mistake I see far too often is people trying to capture every minor move. In doing so, they usually miss the one move that actually matters.
The obsession with catching everything is often what causes them to catch nothing of significance.
Then comes the second error… getting stopped out once and immediately reversing bias. One adverse week of price action is not enough to invalidate a HTF thesis.
Sometimes the best opportunities require multiple entries. Sometimes you must absorb one or two failed attempts in order to position for the larger asymmetrical move.
That is the cost of participating in meaningful opportunity.
What traps most people is not being early, it is lacking conviction and discipline to remain aligned with a sound plan when short-term price deviates from expectation. They confuse noise for information, and volatility for invalidation.
The lesson is simple: being early is rarely fatal. What destroys most is abandoning their bias over short term volatility.
Unless your thesis has been structurally invalidated, temporary movement is just noise, not a reason to reverse course.

@sparbuchfeinde Grundsätzlich absolut richtig was du sagst, ist eine Lifestyle Entscheidung, haben ebenfalls 2024/25 Haus gebaut. Wichtig ist halt immer der richtige Vergleich: Niemand würde wohl ein Haus mit 150m2 mieten. Es ist auch eine Risiko Minimierung , am besten Aktienmarkt und Eigentum
