You are one of those that are expecting pump in the market and for that reason you have no long term perspective but rather waiting for a pump in the market, hope you know the risks that comes along with that since you can lose everything you Make from the so called pump.
Whatever money get injected into the altcoins market is aimed at something so whales are not stupid to throw money into the market, one need to be smart enough to know the right one to hold.
In general, you want to say "wen altseason", right?
For now, don't expect anything from altcoins, first see how Bitcoin (BTC) price is performing, it's now down below $110K & because of that, all altcoins are also experiencing price drop. Crypto market is currently in fear, you can see the index. Furthermore, potential for winter is strong. If you're unsure about the crypto market, it's best to prepare & hold stablecoins first to purchase or accumulate at the best price.
Nobody knows.
The only implication that we have in this rally is that money coming from institutional and they're only buying ETF, so there's no rotation to altcoin when BTC price already pumped high.
It was pretty different to back then, I personally isn't really hopeful that altcoin will happen in large scale but limited to only the one that can be accessed by institutional investor such as ETH.
After all, ETH also have ETF.
November/December.
Bitcoin has just gone below $104k so may take a while to recover back to new highs past $125k.
It is only when Bitcoin sees a new high that we can start thinking about money then going into altcoins.
Till then all we can do is wait, but there is still plenty of time left of 2025 , only takes a few weeks for things to turn bullish again and November is usually a very good month.
No one can tell, it seems that many investors are staying away from the altcoin market, or it could be that they are in already and so it's very hard to see when is the next round of investors pouring their money in the altcoin market because they are very skeptics about it.
Just like the recent liquidations we have, and then Bitcoin even though has also dip in the last 7 days, still has a big hold on the market. And that is one reasons though that the altcoin market this bull run season is not as big as the previous one.
I must tell you about the truth that if more money already injected to the alts. However, the impact is so small caused by too many alts in the market. So the money is getting divided even more, and created less impact. That's the reason you seems not face a pump recently. Limited amounts of demand can't afford the unlimited tokens that being released everyday.
I.e a few years ago, we have 100m injected to the 100 - 1000 alts, but these days 100m being injected to the 10k or even 100k tokens.
I don't think we can realistically continue to be thinking of fiat when we use the word money.
It might be better to use the word debt, so we don't even momentarily forget that money is debt and that debtors do not always honour their debts.
The word money tends to fool people, especially when used to designate something that constantly loses value, even more so when that something is used as the "unit of account" in which everything else is displayed.
I find it very awkward that sites such as CoinMarketCap seem never truly to change their unit of account while pretending to, so that when you ask them to display using some other unit you can detect from their failure to correct the ups and downs that they are not really changing their unit of account, they are just at the last moment changing the unit in which to display the same ups and downs that resulted from some other unit being used.
I saw this years ago when trying to have them show me the value of everything else in bitcoin rather than in fiat.
Their displays of everything that had gone down in bitcoin but up in fiat continued to claim those things had gone up, which, in bitcoin, they had not. They lied, in other words.
Today I am doubting it is bitcoin at all really that is pulling or pushing crypto down, I am suspecting that it is fiat's continued designed-in deliberate forever-crash that is pulling all of crypto, even bitcoin, down...
Notice that both pax gold and tether gold appear "up"; are they gold-pegged coins perchance?
Thus even admitting some hype on gold likely to be more "stable" than fiat?

If you don't mind, do you hold or plan to buy many altcoins at this time? Which altcoins do you intend to hold or buy? Can I know?
Are these coins you want to buy or hold among the top-listed altcoins?
Because if even the top-listed altcoins are already considered high-risk due to their volatility, then the altcoins not in the top market listing of the cryptocurrency
industry we are in are surely much riskier. It's difficult to just wait for an altcoin to pump if it doesn't really have any future potential.
To be fair high rank ones are looking quite delicious right now. I think it will do fine and we will not face much. It will definitely be something that will take time and not be that crazy, so we should probably consider it a possibility. If we are careful then we are going to end up with much better approach.
If we can agree on this, and just hold those top rank ones, they are at the bottom I believe so the only direction they will go is up. This is true for very top ones though, like I would say maybe true for five or six coins, rest are still scary to me. In top 10, take out bitcoin because it is not alt (but do invest into bitcoin if you can) then stablecoins and doge and xrp, and rest are quite good.
It did happened and now it has slashed so much money in the market. We don't know from when it shall inject money again in the altcoins. Maybe it's flowing now into gold because it's the one that's reaching new ATH but when it's done, who knows if they're going to reinvest it back to crypto and in different altcoins. It's also said that the Trump family has made a billion dollars from these dips. So, you can think of it that a lot of money went to them as well: Trump Family Has Made Over $1 Billion On Crypto Bet: Eric Trump
Maybe when people starts seeing advantages in altcoins. There are good altcoins so I don't like it when you generalize it like all of them are the same. The price of Bitcoin has reduced and you don't have to over think because it will have an opposite case for all altcoins except when you pardon some that has stubborn investors and they don't want to remove their money or make the price to dip.
Altcoins will be pumped at the right time and I guess you are holding altcoins that is why you want to know our opinions whether to sell or hold.
I can feel the exhaustive patience of the op who may have siphoned all his savings into one of the altcoins that have dumped after a hyping rise that may have attracted him to buy.
He now in loss on holding the coins for long waiting on altcoins pump that is not forthcoming and to top it all off the recent dump in the crypto market may have buried his hope that he could not hold back but send out the question which no body has an answer to.
Don't get your hopes up. If you look at the altcoin index and the crypto market's volatility, most investors are currently investing in BTC through ETFs, and even ETH, too. Liquidity isn't as strong as it was in previous cycles. So, I suggest you stop over-expecting; let's just be realistic based on the available data.
Actually this question have been in the minds of many altcoin hodlers because they also want to have a taste of altcoins bull since, before the current halving.
Well to answer this question, I don't think it is anytime soon because bitcoin has performed tremendously well that institutions who are the major investors have not turned their back on btc, rather they have been investing heavily in bitcoin and government approving btc as reserve makes this desire, wish and question an herculean one to come to pass.
The approval of btc etf makes even btc trading more popular around the world and those who could have pulled their money out to crash btc and move the altcoins market are not pulling out.
So before money will move to altcoins, I believe btc will crash for investors to run to altcoins but I don't think that is happening anytime soon.
It might never happen, I hope you are prepared for that outcome? I read somewhere that the altcoin rotation always begin a month after Bitcoin have topped, do you believe that bitcoin have already reached it's top for this cycle? We really can't say, and this is why it is better to always prepare for two possible outcomes.
There already is a lot of accumulation of altcoins in the current bearish trend. The people who are holding the coins for long term has not sold any and are DCAing their holdings. The current sharp fall is due to the bullish leverage traders who got liquidated, this do effect the mindset of traders and might take longer for the market to recover but this is also the best time to buy and hold. There are also good potential for short term gain in altcoins.
Nobody can tell because most investors have come to realize that altcoins are not worth injecting funds into because they depreciate overtime and has no real value. This makes it difficult to predict because bitcoin is still dominating the market. It's better that you forget about whatever hope you have in altcoins and invest only in bitcoin for future sake.
Bitcoin for long term yes but we are now coming into the best months for altcoins.
Bitcoin has dominated altcoins for all of 2025 but that will change and when it does you dont want to be mainly in Bitcoin.
Bitcoin might see $150k+ by end of year, but Altcoins could see 10x return so I wouldnt be ignoring them right now.
Who are you expecting to inject money? And will the person be injecting money in all altcoins? I dont know maybe you referring to bull run. If you talking about bull run, then I will say nobody knows when altcoin bull run is going to start, and we dont even know if we going to be seeing that happen soon. Altcoins are just unpredictable, you can just wake up, and you going to see some of them start pumping, but we should know altcoins are so risky, so if you are putting your money in altcoins, then you should expect anything to happen.
