According to @ReetikaTrades, the current run has challenged several popular crypto trading heuristics including altseason rotation, the ETH catch-up trade, Sell in May, Uptober, bullish Q4 and Q1 seasonality, alts outperforming during BTC consolidation, and ATH breakout buying being the easiest trade (source: @ReetikaTrades on X, Nov 17, 2025). The author adds that the remaining key narrative to be tested is the 4-year cycle (source: @ReetikaTrades on X, Nov 17, 2025). For traders, this flags reduced reliability of these seasonality and narrative-driven setups in BTC, ETH, and altcoins during the current cycle (source: @ReetikaTrades on X, Nov 17, 2025).

According to Crypto Rover, traders are advised to consider selling altcoins in May, aligning with the traditional market strategy of 'Sell in May and Go Away'. This strategy suggests potential seasonal market downturns, historically affecting altcoin performance. Traders should evaluate their portfolios accordingly, considering past data trends and market conditions. [Source: Crypto Rover, Twitter]
