Ju admits that in recent months, the global crypto cycle has shifted rapidly, breaking the traditional market theories. He confesses that his theory is outdated, as he notes the shift in crypto whales’ behavior. The Bear and Bull Cycle Breaks in Crypto CryptoQuant’s Ju realizes that the four-year bull and bear cycles driven by whale (large crypto holders) accumulation and retail investor behavior are no longer applicable in the current crypto environment.

The post Altcoins To Buy Now During The Crypto Market Crash appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News The crypto market is currently going through a short-term correction, especially in the altcoin space. Analysts had already warned that a dip was likely, and now that it’s here, the focus shifts from “why” to “what’s next?” This correction isn’t a market crash. Instead, it’s more like a pause or a reset. Such pullbacks are normal in bull markets and often offer great entry points for investors.
