I'm feeling pretty neutral but slightly hopeful about the crypto scene leading up to April 2026. With the recent pause in the Iran and US war, things are looking a bit brighter for crypto. Sure, there's some volatility, but with better macro conditions and increasing institutional investment, things seem more stable overall. In my opinion, the top cryptos to snag in April 2026 for both short-term and long-term gains are btc, eth, ada, sol, bnb, and xrp.
What about your game plan?

Let me use the BTC chart for the past month as an example
See where that read part is? That was the best time to buy. That was when the first news about the beginning of the war was aired and the markets tumbled. Usually you buy when the markets are red, not when they are green. In the short term, it is not a good idea, but if it's long term (3-4 years), then one can still buy right now.
Continual accumulation of BTC and some alts that I also like. This temporary ceasefire might continue into a long term peace and I hope that it results in that and in good faith of seeing this war ends. As the damage that it has done globally is so much, the recovery will take time. They need to realize that building takes time but destroying it in seconds of what they've worked on is such a waste of resources. Going back to the crypto market, hold the cryptos that you are comfortable holding with and not just because people recommended of having it.
As long as the war continues, the crypto market will continue to exhibit uncertainty, well, too much volatility. For me, there are no specific months that are good for buying, especially for altcoins. Altcoins are affected by various aspects, especially when the price of Bitcoin (BTC) falls, they will also fall. For the current conditions, I think it's only good to buy Bitcoin (BTC), there's no need to worry about anything because Bitcoin (BTC) is the main catalyst in the market.
The war will for sure come to an end someday, but that's not the finish line of all the war going on around the world, btc amongst all the assets mentioned by Op, stays as the only coin to be optimistic about it's growth on the long term. However, other altcoins like bnb or eth could bounce up alongside the growth of btc whenever it starts to run bullish, be it this month or the next coming ones, staying on check to purchase what's worth buying is better than holding coins that won't yield positive returns in the future.
When it comes to Bitcoin, every time is a good time to buy Bitcoin as long as you are going into a long-term investment. If you think there is a particular time you would want to buy Bitcoin and that you would want to wait for it, then it means you will definitely miss a lot of opportunities. Bitcoin is always valuable, no matter when it is bought; the most important thing is to have the patience to HODL, and with this, there is always a productive business in buying Bitcoin at all times.
What if the two-week peace deal didn't work out fine, and the war continued either way? Would you still make out this April to be the best time to buy the mentioned altcoins? Since you made it sound like the recent increase in Bitcoin price is caused by the ceasefire between the US and Iran. Don't forget that Bitcoin has been increasing and decreasing during the war of US-Israel, and Iran.
That being said, investors should invest because they feel the need to invest in Bitcoin plus other top coins, not because of the peace deal because the market can go sideways in April
are you trying to create a large cap altcoin index out of your portfolio or what's the bias behind holding these?
ADA particularly confused me. what's the bull case for it?
It's just a 2 weeks of ceasefire. Imo, the war is not over yet and it only takes one more war strike to sink the market back before 68k. The war is just one of the macroeconomic factors showing the growth of the crypto market. You also to also consider that there is no quantitative easing yet so there's only so much capital available to buy risk assets like Bitcoin. Maybe Bitcoin price will go up but not all the large cap to mid cap will grow alongside.
In my opinion, when Bitcoin was at $60k a few days ago, it was the best time to buy BTC. And if you are planning for the long term, you can buy at any time, but it is better to continue investing with DCA strategy than to wait for a specific time. Among the altcoins mentioned above, I planned to buy BNB. Personally, I will wait for a few more days to buy altcoins, but for me, I am willing to buy BTC at any time.
