Analysis

Michaël van de Poppe says altcoins are finally breaking out after years of pain and will climb much higher before giving back most gains as they always do. He shifted from holding the portfolio to trading it, covering why holding suits Bitcoin, gold and stocks but not altcoins, why traders must read BTC pairs rather than USD charts as $NEAR ran from $1.20 to $5+ and $ARB gained ~300% yet BTC pairs signal rotation timing, and why risk stays lowest at the bottom when sentiment feels worst. He builds cash into the run, scales out while momentum holds, rotates narratives early and prepares to rotate into long-term assets if Bitcoin pushes toward $98K.
