As shown in the comparison below, it's worth paying attention to the accelerated bloodshed in the altcoin market at the moment that has reached 86% this year so far. Compared to the 82% correction in the altcoin market that lasted for 9 months in 2014, the charts suggest the altcoin market could now be oversold as Bitcoin corrects further.

There are numerous arguments to suggest the Bitcoin and Altcoin corrections will sink the cryptocurrency market further, due to Bitcoin's low dominance in 2018 as well as the overvalued ICO and altcoin maket, as opposed to BTC's near monopoly in 2014.

This is a legitimate argument for why altcoins will continue correcting aggressively, as Bitcoin continues a correction towards $4 to complete an 80% reduction in value (currently this is at 70%). This would be similar to the correction of 2014, in order for the Crypto Market to lose over 80% of it's 2018 value (currently the market has lost 78%)

It's however worth noting the oversold Altcoin market began a strong recovery on August 19th 2014 after 9 months of correction, whereas Bitcoin and therefore the overall Crypto Market took until January 2015, totaling 14 months, an additional 5 months.

The altcoin market notably followed with a 68% correction from the 2014 highs until May 2015, while Bitcoin traded predominantly sideaways, gaining more dominance. However, the altcoin bears notably failed to make a lower low that year.

As relevantly, the altcoin market started it's 4 month bull-run initially gaining over 250% from August 19th 2014 to December 23rd 2014, while the pack leader fell another 30% from $475 to $334 before finding support at $200 in January 2015 to complete it's 80% correction.

Analysis of past years will help to understand the system of cryptocurrency. But now everything is too unpredictable and I think that at the present time there would be no point to dig into this. Now everything is completely different from before

If this history is repeated, then we will be able to read the situation so that we are able to overcome difficulties. For this, we can learn and continue to get better with good opportunities, of course.

Obviously if this happens again then it will be a miracle the market is very down these days. Yes I now realised how to overcome in tough situation like this. We need to invest and hodl for a good return.

I do not think that the graphs of the past years will really help us to understand the current situation and give any explanation. Most likely everything will happen again unexpectedly because now the market is in such an incomprehensible and unexpected limbo

Yes, they do because there are too many altcoins born in this period so it's time to cleanse altcoins to find out some good altcoins .
There will be many altcoins dead but some altcoins will go up into the sky . The problem is that we must choose the right altcoins to get the big profits.

If cycle repeats itself then we must better get ready for something good in the next coming months! I also hope the crypto charts does the same as the stock market charts!

All are ready to upcoming hype but we should not predict when it will going to moon. So crypto is never compare to stock market because stock investment is totally differ from crypto investment. All the peoples are expecting a good profit in short term so they are all buying more cryptocurrency. But reality market is continuously bleeding so we just accept the current situation then only going to moon and stock market is never equal to crypto market.

I think altcoin with good potential will reach their ATH again but very briefly and then that’s when you should decide to sell new coins will atleast go x10. But will drop very quickly in the next bullrun and then only a handful of coins will dominate the market

Its just a cycle what we see every 4 year. You guys better get used to it.

Well, it is still hard to tell yet if history will repeat itself again, but as it is; I would not be surprised to see it do so actually.

For what it is worth, I believe that we might see the same thing over again considering how the market have been so far, and the extent to which bitcoin and the altcoins have gone. Truth be told, we can see some strong divergence for the altcoins by the way and if given the perfect condition, we may start seeing some good growth pretty soon.

I think the prices will increase significantly. but this will not be of course what everyone expects. this increase should happen at a time when no one is waiting. I feel that prices are close to the bottom

This ETF decision is going to play a factor before it's all said and done. This decision may pave the way for market direction for the next 6 months. The manipulators will swing it which ever way makes them the most cash and destroys the majority of us small guys. Dicey times. If you don't know what to do buy quality and hold for the reversal.

From all of that we can conclude there won't be new bull run until next btc halving, and maybe even 1 year after that. If we hit one more cycle like that alts are going to follow.

Firstly there are really no altcoins in 2014 if you compare that year to 2018

the crash of altcoins could be higher than one in 2014 because they have been in bigger bubble while they most worth nothing.

I agree with you that a more drastic decline means a more violent rebound. Just yesterday, Ripple seems to have proved this. I believe the market will soon reverse, but I think the Bitcoin ETF will be rejected if it is rejected. May cause another drop.

apart from the obvious fact that you can never use the past history of the market to predict the future of it, specially in a manipulated altcoin market, we also have another problem here that shouldn't be forgotten and that is the fact that the size of the dump does not indicate the end of it. for example price of an altcoin may drop 90% but it still continues to go lower to 91%, 92%... even 99% drop.

what points to the end of the dump are two things. first is when the whales run out of coins to dump, bag holders have no more coins to panic sell, and the bigger indication is when prices stay at the bottom while whales accumulate.
the second is when prices are simply realistic! for example a shitcoin that is worth $1000+ obviously has an unrealistic price and needs to lose it and come down to $50 before it can go on.

Lol I don't think you can talk about 4 years cycles when it comes to altcoins, it is too immature of a market to have established cycles at the moment. Cycles on the Bitcoin market are more relevant.

I have always wondered why people tend to quote OPs at times, when they are indeed replying to the posts anyway and they could have replied without that. Nevertheless, that is by the way!

In a market, I have always observed that you cannot always use the past to judge what would happen in the future and for that reason, how a market would be is determined by the current factors and even if it turns out to be the same, I would only classify it as a coincidence and nothing more and i totally agree with you that the altcoin market is too premature to have a cycle.

True story. Bitcoin hasn't even established a distinguished cycle yet, there has been one 18 month bear market, apart from the current bear market, nothing else has significantly has happened. FYI market "cycles" are based on patterns, patterns are based on predictable outcomes, such as things repeating 3 times or more. Twice is a coincidence, three is a pattern.
Altcoin cycles will only exist once BTC dominance finds some balance, probably somewhere between 30-80% looking at support and resistance levels.

Right now there are more altcoins in the market than there was in 2014. So it will be obvious to see that the altcoins are taking the harder blow than the BTC in the market.

Agreed, but I wouldn't get bogged down in quantity of altcoins, the only relevance is the market cap or dominance of these altcoins, whether there are 100, 1,000 or 1,000,000.
For example BTC dominance was at a monopolizing 96% at the bubble top of 2013, then during the bear market dropped to 94% followed by 92% and continued to decline from there.
It's recent peak in 2017 was at 67% (after dropping below 40%), and this month has re-reached 58% after falling to an all-time low of 32% in Janaury. Long-term dominance is still falling, until there is evidence to prove otherwise, this BTC gain in dominance is nothing more than a dead cat bounce after falling from above 90% at the start of 2017. Bear market or not.
If history repeats itself, then the dominance won't be able to climb above it's December 2017 high, in the same way in 2013 the dominance didn't reach new highs during the bear market either, because the overvalued altcoin market had already become oversold. Hence the reversal was a little earlier than BTC that needed more time to consolidate.
If you're not seeing some peer-to-peer currencies outperforming BTC since August then check them out; XMR, NANO and most recently XRP.
I've been waiting a long time for a consensus on altcoin bearish sentiment, this is a key indicator for me personally.
(Observe the masses and do the opposite)
