Understanding Micro Cycles
He started his analysis with a detailed look within the broader altcoin cycle, specific narratives drive smaller micro-cycles. He mentioned that some altcoins go parabolic first, while others follow later. This nuanced understanding allows investors to maximize profits by cycling gains from one altcoin into another. Lorenzo stresses that if you lack capital, focusing on these outlier opportunities can lead to large multiples, significantly boosting your returns.
Evidence from Past Cycles: 2017 and 2021
Lorenzo backs up his claims with historical data, showing the astronomical returns of various altcoins during the 2017 and 2021 cycles. For instance, in 2017, altcoins like Dash and XMR saw gains of up to 253,000% in just over 450 days. He illustrates similar patterns in 2021, with coins like HEX rising by 900,000%, turning $1,000 into $9 million. This evidence solidifies his belief that no other asset class can match crypto’s potential returns.
Bitcoin’s Role and Altcoin Peaks
He delves into the relationship between Bitcoin’s halving cycles and altcoin peaks, noting that altcoins often experience two peaks – one after Bitcoin’s first top and another following its second top. This phenomenon was evident in coins like Gala Games and Shiba Inu. However, some altcoins, like Dogecoin and Rune, performed better during Bitcoin’s first top. Lorenzo suggests that altcoin performance within these cycles is influenced by market narratives and social media hype.
Investors Don’t HODL?
Lorenzo cautions against the common practice of “hodling” (holding onto assets long-term), arguing that many investors lose money by not selling at the right time. He advises taking profits and investing them in real assets like real estate, rather than blindly holding onto cryptocurrencies. Lorenzo emphasizes the need for active trading and strategic selling to capitalize on the altcoin cycle’s explosive but short-lived gains.
Predictions for 2025: Mark Your Calendars
Based on his analysis, Lorenzo predicts that the next significant altcoin movement will likely occur around January 26, 2025, following Bitcoin’s April 2024 halving. He notes that while the 2021 cycle saw an average increase of 15,446%, the 2017 cycle was four times more lucrative, suggesting diminishing returns over time. Despite this, he believes the 2025 cycle will still offer substantial profit opportunities.
