What Is Going On With Altcoins? Correction Is 'Understandable But Healthy,' Says Trader

Zinger Key Points
  • Crypto trader Doctor Profit sees the current 35% altcoin correction as healthy and calls it a great buying opportunity.
  • His target is at $1 trillion for altcoins market capitalization by the end of 2024.

A prominent pseudonymous crypto trader predicts a strong rebound for altcoins following the recent retrace.

What Happened: Doctor Profit sees the recent 35% correction in the altcoin market following a 150% uptrend from $300 billion to $800 billion from October 2023 to March 2024 as healthy. He added that the current market situation presents a favorable buying opportunity.

The best-case scenario for the altcoin market is that it has already hit its bottom and will not test a second potential bottom. The worst-case scenario, according to the trader, is a further 10% drop, reaching a $500 billion market cap.

Why It Matters: Doctor Profit's previous month's forecast for altcoins predicted a retracement to his and turned out to be correct. He also mentioned the imminent launch of the Ethereum ETFs, which he believes will trigger a massive pump in altcoins and ETH.

Despite the current correction, the trader remains bullish on altcoins. He predicts that the altcoin market cap could exceed $1 trillion by the end of the year and continue to new targets until reaching price discovery.

Among his orders placed on some altcoins in mid-June at certain prices, Notcoin NOT/USD has increased 67% from its entry point. The others in the list included Ethereum ETH/USD (entry at $2,890), Sei SEI/USD (entry at $0.28) and Toncoin TON/USD (entry at $5.5).
