The recent crypto market downturn has wiped out significant value from altcoins, leading to deeply negative sentiment and extreme volatility. However, traders urge patience, believing this could be a prime accumulation phase before the next major rally.

The recent downturn in the cryptocurrency market has seen altcoins lose a substantial amount of value, leading to extremely negative sentiment and deep volatility in the market. However, some traders are advising patience, as they believe that this could be a prime accumulation phase before the next major rally.

In another post, crypto analyst Miles Deutscher pointed out that altcoin open interest (excluding BTC and ETH) has dropped 50% from December highs but still remains above pre-election levels. He warned that another 50% decline could take OI back to September lows, suggesting more leverage may need to be flushed before a sustained rally.
In another X post, he describes the classic cycle psychology of altcoins. Anger is transitioning into Depression, where low interest, dull price action, and apathy dominate. This phase slowly grinds out weak hands through boredom rather than panic.
Historically, this has been the best accumulation period, as the biggest gains come when everyone else has checked out.
