Which Altcoin You would choose to hold in bear market?

[Bobcrypto]

At the moment, the answer to that question is NOTHING. When the market is getting down, we should have sold everything and join the retreat movement. This is one of the many things I have with cryptocurrency market...while we are rejoicing when its volatility is positively hitting the chart we feel disillusioned when the other side of the coin is the one reigning in. I feel like trapped as I failed to make my move when Bitcoin was almost at the $100K zone...now it is dancing in the vicinity of $80K which proved the prophecy of CZ in an X post correct...alas I did not listen to him and the many red signs.

I don't think the answer should be nothing, rather the answer should be "Hold', In economic perspective, when the market is going down the solutions is not to sell, but to Hold on to your position untill a rebound or recovery is archived.

Now, if everybody decides to sell his coin/tokens, be it altcoins because the market is going down, wouldn't it crash the entire market, even Bitcoin to the zero price level? Consider the investors that has been holdings altcoins since 2018, if they all had sold their tokens simplely because the market is going down, then by this time, all altcoins should have gone to tin air.
As a matter of facts, the best answer, in my opinion as an Economicst is hold, hold until full market recovery. Panic selling, sentiments, emotions shouldn't be a threat to a good investors, but patience and to sustain the market prices, investors should be able to HOLD their positions.

Yes, each ronag must have their own considerations for their decisions in the crypto bearish era later, whether to hold, sell cut loss, or others. But what is certain is that it should be based on the strategy and also the risk management of each.

And in this case, I personally will continue to hold the coins if indeed the coins still have a chance to survive. And then, if there is money, it would be better to buy more Bitcoin, doing DCA is one of the good strategies during the bearish era, although not with a large amount, but at least it can free up some of the nominal that we do indeed agree to lose.

Well if we look back to Janu or December everyone was too excited and hoping that market would pump even more, but one thing I have learned that when most of the community members of crypto are expecting the market to pump in the upcoming quarter, it just don't pump like many were hoping that in the first quarter it will pump, which it did as BTC set new ATH but alt-season delayed.

Now I think in the quarter that was predicted down be downtrending, will now be acting as up trend (maybe). ADA is a very good project in compared to AVAX, although I have investedin AVAX instead of ADA big mistake but in future I am seeing ADA's ETF getting approved.

Well, mate, you have missed some parts of my post reply; maybe you have forgotten to add them in the reply. Yes, obviously, market condition was way too good as compared to the condition of the market today. But as of now, the market condition is frustrating. Although, i also have learned  something in this bull cycle, its my first bull run experience, and i used to hear from some fellow after BTC there will be great volume in altcoins, but what happened was the totally opposite.

As I don't know the long back history behavior of bull season, maybe it always acts like this before getting into the full potential. I mean, the market value starts to decrease just before altcoin season; is it like that? Or is this the first time market behavior is different?

I do think that it will be always better to put your money on BTC, rather than on smaller alts, although, of course, there is always a possibility to win big and get a great profit in the end, but that's a very small chance indeed.

Yes, managing changes in the market is never a comfortable situation especially if they occur in a way and at a pace, which does not quite fit one’s strategic direction and plans. This strengthens the belief of having numerous new lessons from the experience of this cycle which is different from the previous patterns of formation of bull or bear runs. Sometimes the market will act rather unpredictably, and this makes us more cautious to steps we want to take. It might be best in this as a phase where additional information must still be acquired regarding managing expectations and risks. These insights assist in helping us understand the future steps when there are changes made in the market environment.

Just with the current information you have for now. If you can decide which altcoin to hold base on the current information you know that by means of comparing altcoins you can decide which to heavily send to your private wallet.

The factors I consider and whether I will be profitable holding them even in the bear market. Somehow the POS tokens but then I'm also fighting myself whether to just hold USDT.

For some, holding USDT is what they do when the market is down. But for others, they are looking for altcoins that have the potential to increase in a faster time and with good growth.

I think we all have different thoughts on this, and for me personally I am analyzing several altcoins, one of which is Sol, I think it is quite promising.

I've noticed market trends don't always do what I expect, altcoins especially seem to lag after bitcoin hits a high. From what I've seen in past cycles, alt season often kicks in after a dip but every market feels a bit different. This drop might just be a breather before altcoins take off or maybe things are shiftuing in a new way. Honestly, I can't predict it perfectly, so I'm just staying patient, keeping my risks in check and watching the big signals.

[Faisal2202]

For now I do not invest in ADA and AVAX, but these two coins are quite potential.
In the current downtrend I prefer to increase ethereum, BNB, Solanan and XRP.
because they are more potential and top altcoins. maybe I will buy cardano ADA and Avax if I have free funds.

haha so you have free funds (I get what you mean) but I think there is no such thing like free funds and when we give our money titles like that, then we surely lose them, although ADA is the best choice out there in compared to AVAx because its ecosystem is facing real problems like the biggest is, advertisement. they are not getting big projects therefore, overall TVL is reducing.

But for SOl, XRP, ETH, BNB and ADA they are the best out there and yeah if we have some money we can make real profit out of all these and can earn more once the alt season starts. They are not going to just fade away.

It is natural for there to be different thoughts when everything is currently in the red. As you said, maybe some are switching to USDT, but not a few have the thought of looking for potential altcoins that can rise quickly at any time.
I am sure all the thoughts that are made are because of the experience that has been had so far and everything is equally good. Just adjust the situation to the circumstances at that time.

The market situation is constantly changing. That is why investors have to think deeply about investing. If someone invests in a bearish season, their thinking will not be the same as the person who invests in a bullish period. But those who have a good idea about the market and invest especially with a long-term plan will be protected from big losses. At this point, I think it is quite appropriate to invest in Ether and XRP as a long-term investment in altcoins.

You are right things are actually shifting in a new way as the market has changed fully, in previous cycles there were no ETFs, there were no USA president promoting BTC, the adoption rate was very low in compared to now, even at high price, BTC was in the top 5 world assets list by market cap. The point is, things are way better and streamlined now.

Therefore the trends and history has to be changed and the big thing, in previous cycles BTC made ATH after the halving but this time it made before the halving. We are going to face new things and maybe, maybe we see supercycle if things get even better then they are now.

[Brijesh]

No, this is very bad decision to hold alts in bear market, every one told me that 2025 is bull season but now bulls only  active in btc,  alts almost near bottom when btc hit 16k in bear season so why we hold our alts..holdings btc is safe assets in bull market,  alts only for bull market and for trading not for holdings..

What you said is true, market conditions are always changing and we have to adjust to market conditions when they are down or up.
I also agree with ethereum and XRP which are quite potential for long-term holding besides bitcoin as a priority coin, this is also a pretty good way to make a profit.

We can't avoid the fluctuation of the crypto market anyway, because that's the risk, whether it becomes an advantage or vice versa, becomes a risk in investing or trading crypto. But it cannot be separated from the high volatility of crypto prices.

And indeed, in fact, there are many people who are affected by all changes in market prices at all times, some are easily panicked and affected to the point of cutting their assets. There are also those who are patient and just leave their assets in their wallets. and there are also those who actually optimize the chances of price fluctuations to make a profit. so it comes back to how we can manage and optimize market conditions that are always like this.
