Altcoin Warning:
In my Sunday report a month ago, when the price was at $117,000, I decisively turned bearish. I explicitly warned that market makers would inflate altcoin prices in the days and weeks ahead, creating a perfect illusion for retail investors. That's exactly what we're seeing now: an artificial altcoin rally designed to lure in late buyers while the real money quietly exits. This is a time-worn tactic: a flashy pump to distract retail investors while the distribution phase at the top unfolds. Don't be fooled. This isn't "altcoin season." This is just a brief exit pump, nothing more. Retail investors will celebrate prematurely, only to realize too late that they're simply exiting liquidity from the highly leveraged altcoin market.
Right now, retail investors are blindly entering the altcoin market driven by fear of missing out (FOMO), ignoring the macro risks that lie ahead: PPI on Wednesday, CPI on Thursday, and the FOMC meeting in eight days. All it takes is a minor distraction to spark real action. If Bitcoin is about to embark on another rally, we'll see the usual deluge of panicked headlines and a campaign of fear and uncertainty (FUD). But this time, the scale won't be as large: never again! Instead, the distraction will be different: pure greed. Fear fuels the upward momentum. Greed sets the stage for a decline, and what better way to foster greed than with a periodic altcoin rally?
