3 Altcoins I'm Buying Now Before It's Too Late!

Ben Simpson (Collective Shift) reviews the ongoing crypto bull market, arguing we are ~60–70% through the cycle and that Bitcoin dominance remains strong even as meme coins and next-gen Layer-1s rally. He names three altcoins he recently bought (Solana, Sui, Maple) and a bonus meme coin (Pepe), gives price targets and profit-taking levels (Solana target ~$600; Bitcoin potential peak projections ~$140–160k with earlier profit-taking around $110–130k), and outlines portfolio allocation advice (keep significant BTC, allocate to next-gen L1s and some meme coins, and plan exit/sell strategies).

$90,000 bitcoin. The market is pumping, the altcoins are still lagging, but meme coins are absolutely flying. So today I want to share with you the three altcoins that I'm looking at that I've just bought in the last week or so that I still think are great buyers right now, plus one bonus meme coin I'm going to give you at the end to help you dominate this crypto bull market. What a time it is to be. I feel as I've been waiting for this time for eight years. I don't know about you, but my sleep is all at the wazoo. Waking up at 3am checking the prices, it's not healthy. But this is what we're here for. This is what crypto is all about. This is where the money is going to be made of these next three, six, nine months time. So in this video I want to share with you where I think we're at in the market. Do I think we're topping? Do I think we're going to see a pullback? When is the right time to invest? Plus I'm going to give you these three old coins plus a bonus meme coin to help you really build your portfolio and try and make as much money as you can this cycle. Because there's so much noise going on, you know, all you, you, your friends are coming back, you know, your buddies are messaging you, there's all these influences are coming back, talking about crypto. Coinbase is now ranked number one in finance on the App Store and it's starting to rank nearly the highest in the top, I think top five or ten in the, in the normal App Store as well. I'm going to give you the beans, the download, the actual research behind where I think we're at as an independent player in this space. I run Australia's leading crypto research company, Collective Shift. We work with all the major brands. We have over a thousand clients we work with that pays for our research and our insights. So I'm going to share with you some of those insights today to help you do dominate this next little bit. Because there's so much happening and there's so much going on. I really want to help you in this bull market. So let's jump in. We're going to jump over to.
Gonna jump over to the bitcoin price. So we have blown through $90,000. We've had a little bit of a correction. But you know what I was saying to our platinum members, I think yesterday that, you know, the Real strength of a bull market is, is noticed and known by the, the corrections and the pullbacks and how quickly they get bought up. And man, these pullbacks have just been so quickly. Well, that's a one minute chart. They're being brought back so quickly. There's really not that much opportunity for anyone to really get too much of an opportunity to buy back in. And we can see here, you know, the last like couple of days we've had a couple of corrections but ultimately they've been bought up pretty quick, you know, 92 down to 88. And the biggest thing as well, like some people are thinking that, you know, it feels like a bigger correction because the numbers are larger, but essentially 90,000 down to like 81,000 is like 10% move, right? Like that's only 10% move. In bull markets we're used to 10, 20, 30% corrections. I think there's going to be a lot more to come. Now, bitcoin is still dominating in terms of the old coins. If we look at the bitcoin ETH chart here, the bitcoin, the eth BTC chart has just been in a downwards trend for a little while now. Since nearly going on about three years, we've essentially been in a downtrend. This is essentially showing us the performance of Ethereum against btc. BTC continues to kill Ethereum. I do think we're going to start to see a breakout here over the next probably three to six months. We had a breakout the other day. This is when bitcoin went bananas and eth went from about 2400 over to 3100. We did have a bit of a breakout but we've essentially given that all back. So once it starts to break out, I do think the old coins are starting to really rally. We're starting to see some pop off but really all the money has been made in the meme coins, which I'll talk about in a second. Now, where are we in the cycle? Is this now a good time to buy in? I know there's a lot of people flying back with money that they want to put in. I firmly believe we still have at least three, six months to go in this bull market, potentially nine, depending on how quickly things run up. If we look at the. So this is a research. That piece that one of our analysts, Checkmate, our on channel analyst, did it for our members recently. We can still see here. The bitcoin searches are not quite where we were back in the peak of 2021. In fact, we're only about halfway. And if we look on chain, the MV RV ratio is a great indication to see where the peaks have been in previous cycles. So this orange line here, the MV RV ratio is the, is a ratio that basically gives us indication of, you know, how people that own bitcoin, how much profit they're in versus those that, that haven't and you can basically buy on the spot market. So basically where we are at the moment, if you see here, we're better at that sort of two ratio about halfway between four where previously the highs have been. And essentially this is once we get over the ratio of four, it's essentially showing us that bitcoin holders are in a lot of profit and they start to sell down and then the RV ratio has been, you know, actually quite, quite accurate in giving us a pretty good top signal. You can see here as well, if you look above this is basically the bitcoin price and the green lines. You can see when the MVRV ratio sort of hits these peaks and we start to sell off, kind of does a double, a double top. And that's essentially usually between the middle of the, the all time highs. Now the all time highs. This screenshot I think was maybe a week or so old. We're probably in about, in my prediction, 60, 65, 70% of the way through the bull market. If we are in contrast to previous cycles and how long the all time high lasts for, why the MV ratio is above that. The other thing we can look at here is the short term holders. And you can see here, we usually run, had this first rally, big correction and a major blow off top. The major blow off top is where significant waves of those longer term holders start to sell. And that's really once, you know, the euphoria of the market goes absolutely nuts and everything starts to sell off. That first rally is really after months of consolidation which we've had with. We've had months and months of consolidation through this period here. We're getting that first rally. I do think things are going to go towards maybe 100,000 US maybe then we start to see a big sell off and then we have that major blow off above that. But essentially where we think things are going is somewhere between that sort of $110, $130,000 mark. I think that's where I'm going to start to take some profits. We did a research piece recently, like how high do we think the majors could go if we look at bitcoin specifically? Like we look at, you know, four different, just basic projection Types, whether it be market cap dominance, market cap growth, from cycle to cycle, previous all time high to all time high, or just average what most people predict, it's somewhere around that 140 to 150, $160,000 mark. I'm going to be taking profits before then on my Bitcoin. As we know Bitcoin, once people start to take profits, it usually rotates down into altcoins. That's when I'll start to take some money on altcoins. But for the time being, I think we have a long way to go. Overnight we saw Robinhood and Coinbase start to announced that they're going to launch their meme coins again. Now I think this is the biggest thing to do with the, the U.S. election with Donald Trump being elected. These major, you know, exchanges are starting to get a little bit more comfortable in adding more risk. Their, you know, their, their offerings where in the past have been, you know, concerned about securities and a range of different things. So we saw Robinhood list Pepe, we saw Coinbase list Whiff as well, just not that long ago. And Pepe pumped 50% overnight, right? 44, 45% overnight. This is a $9 billion asset, right. That is a huge increase just from a launch on.
Coinbase. Right? Absolutely nuts. And then we've also got, as I said with launch on Coinbase as well. Now I believe Meme coins are one of the best areas to get a lot of growth in your portfolio over these next three to six months while the market is in a retail wave. I've been speaking about Meme Coins for a long time. In fact I actually share with our members, where was it November 7th, so about a week ago that I wish I was buying Pepe Dog with Hat and Pop. And all of these have gone up I think at least 100%, maybe more. Definitely. Pepe and with Popcat has had a really good run as well. Meme coins for me are something that is going to get a lot of exposure with retailing. You know, retail investors, they're not VC led, they're not utility, they're just essentially these, you know, community led, culture driven coins. And Pepe's been like the one, like it is the meme of the Internet. And you know, since launching on Coinbase, obviously 45, 50 growth is absolutely not so well done. For those that follow me there, I'll talk about memes and what, what ones. I think I'm going to be buying and continue buying, you know, in a second, but continues growth on the Bitcoin you know, inflows the ETF. BlackRock hit a record 5 billion overnight. Absolutely nuts. I think bitcoin is just a safe bet.
And really it's, it's down to like, you know, what is your conviction in the future of bitcoin and like, you know, what are you going to do with the, your profits and where you're going to put them? For me, bitcoin continues to be the asset that you want to stack. I think bitcoin's going in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. We saw Michael Saylor just buy another $2 billion at the, at the local top. He doesn't care. He knows where it's going. Like stacking bitcoin is the strategy. Like for me, if I can have, you know, a few million dollars in bitcoin and that's compounding on average over the last 10 years, 45% KGAR, like that's every year. Obviously it's not going to stay at 45% every year, but, you know, if I'm getting 25, 30% KGAR on a couple of million dollars of bitcoin, like, you're set, right? So I think that the ultimate goal for a lot of you this cycle is just to stack as much bitcoin as you can get out of your old coins at the peak, use all coins as obviously, you know, load up and, and drive your growth high of your portfolio. But to stick majority of that into bitcoin is really where I think you're going to get a lot of, you know, a lot of certainty, a lot of financial sort of wealth over the future. Now, where are we in terms of my portfolio? So I've got 12 investments in my portfolio. Three I'm going to share today, plus I'm going to give you a bonus one. But I just want to share with you. There's been so many great investments. We've been able to get over the membership platform. This is over at Collective Shift. Matt, our head analyst, got into Pendle. This is back in February 20th. We're really at the bottom. This is done 3300%. Since investing into that altcoins again, you had to be very selective. There's 2.5 million coins, you know, in the market right now. Obviously 95% of them are crap, probably 99% of the crap. But the majority that, you know, we've been able to get into again, as long as you get in the right narratives and the right areas that retail investors are interested in, that's where you're going to get A lot of the growth now. Solana is my first pick. So I think you know, obviously an obvious one but Solana is actually one we posted back. Where were we? It was nearly what was about 20. Yeah. Matt, our head of head analyst posted this when we started to accumulate since $22. So Solana has been a big one for us. A huge winner for us. I think Solana is continue to do really well. My target for solana is about that 600 mark. I think I'm going to start to take profits around then. I think Those Next Gen Layer 1 coins again are going to be the most favorable. People have switched across from eth. People are sort of, you know, kicking ETH for not really performing Solana. All the. A lot of the meme meme coin activity is happening on on Solana and these guys keep going from strength to strength. Do I think it gets to a thousand dollars like some analysts think? I don't think so. That's a pretty crazy market cap to get to. But I do think it has at least a 2 or 3x to go from here. Another one the next year. Layer 1 Sui. Sue's been a big winner for us. I shared Sui. When did I share Sui? This was 15th of October. I added this about a month ago. This is about $2.10 20. We're currently $3 30. This has been a great winner for us. I think it's going to continue to do well. The next gen layer ones again it's sexy, it's a great narrative. It's got good fundamentals. The TV was growing. You can come over here if you remember. You can actually check out some of our analysis. But like essentially I think Sui is going to continue to dominate that sort of high performance layer one area where you know the, the usability is awesome. Like you can actually sign up with a wallet with your Google Google account or Facebook account. Like it's. It's pretty cool. So loving Suey. I think it's another one that I think you should look at to add to your portfolio. 3 Maple or now syrup that I've been pretty vocal on. It's currently going through a transition of the token at the moment. But you know, Maple I've been buying. I shared this. When did I share this? A year ago. This is where Maple was 5.50. Currently Maple is sitting at 25 hit 60 back in March. I think Maple is going to be the leader of the defi and the institutional play this cycle keeps going from strength to strength and I think Maple's gonna be an absolute winner. So they're the three major coins I think are going to be really good. The narratives again are going to be meme coins, D5 next gen layer ones. They're the big ones for me. The other one I just want to share with you, that I think is the meme coin of this cycle. And this is what I added to my portfolio and I mentioned the start is Pepe. Pepe up 62%. I mean, I shared this again a couple of weeks ago. But you know, Pepe is the main coin of this bull market and I think Pepe is going to continue to go from strength to strength. Yes, we're starting to see retail interest come in and we're starting to see, you know, things sort of popping and growing. But meme coins as I mentioned, are continuing to drive retail interest. And you know, this, they are volatile. And you know, I've got one client in our platinum membership who's got millions and millions and millions and millions of dollars of meme coins. And if you can stomach the volatility, these are great assets to sort of grow and you know, maintain a portfolio that, you know, is exposed to those retail narratives. The only downside is the selling the top becomes really hard. And I think that's one area that, you know, we, we did some research on recently around like what actually selling the top looks like. And it is difficult because they don't, these coins don't last the top for long. We actually looked at Dogecoin last cycle. I think Dogecoin was In the top 10% of its of its market for less than a day. And I think the top 15 or top 20% for less than two days. So when looking at the top, you've just really got to be aware that a lot of these coins don't last at the top for long. Like Solana was at the top for five, three days in the top 5% or you know, 10% for the top 10 days. So having a proper sell strategy is really important and knowing how to get out of these, these coins, especially the lower you go down the list. You know, I think bitcoin is one that I'm going to be, you know, maintaining at least 50% of my portfolio in, you know, starting to de risk is the market's going towards that sort of 120, 130,000 as the money rotates down. That's where I'm going to start to take, you know, profits in some of these meme, sorry, some of these old coins, some earlier than others, Depending on when you get in, depends what your goals are. But ultimately I'm going to be looking to try to stack as much USDT and stables as I can to reinvest in the next lows. Like thinking cycles ahead is a really good way to try and multiply your wealth because it's not just crypto going to die off this cycle. You know, it's going to continue to roll on. But you know, do I think bitcoin can continue grinding higher, like 100%. Like I think we could be, you know, into a hundred thousand, you know, before Christmas. I think it's a big psychological level. But if we break through there, I think this is going to be, you know, a really great day for all those holders. But the biggest thing for me is the ETH BTC chart. We're going to need to see this bottom before, you know, anyone gets too excited on, on Ethan, a lot of the old coins, like if we start to see the eth BTC chart bottom and money start to flow down, which I think will happen once people start taking profits on bitcoin, then these old coins are going to start to really rally. But if you're holding all those older coins as well, you know, from the, from the, from the last cycle, like these ones, you've got to be really careful of. It's as I say to our members, it's opportunity costs. You know, the biggest gains in the last 24 hours are not coins that have been around since 2017. You've got to move with the times, right Pepe, with some of these ones, Brett. You know, Sui, a lot of the ones we're invested in, these are not older chains. Yes, some of these older chains like Cardano are up. But again, if you look at like people carrying on that Cardano's up a lot this week. I think it's still down. What is it? It's still down 81%.
You know, so like, you know, people can spin a narrative out of anything but honestly, you know, you got to stick with these newer narratives. Good fundamental projects. Have a good chunk of bitcoin, have a good chunk of, you know, these next gen layer ones. Have some meme coins, don't go too crazy, but ensure you get out this time. We don't want you to round trip and have to wait another cycle before, you know, really making money. So look, it's exciting times. They're my three old coins. Hopefully, you know, you know, you're exposed or looking at exposing yourself to some of these projects, hopefully your portfolio is doing well. I still believe we have a few months left in this cycle. I think we're probably 60 to 70 of the way through. That's what my gut feel tells me. And based on the volumes and influx that we're seeing, investors, you know, there's all bullish signals, you know, with Trump just elected, elected he brought on Elon Musk to start up that new area of the government. The was the department of I can't remember what it's called now, but basically standard for government efficiency. Department of Government efficiency. Doge at standard for so absolutely crazy times. I think this is where we are in crypto in 2024. It's absolutely wild. I think next year is going to be epic. But again, stay logic. I see a lot of emotion, a lot of people getting euphoric and people getting very, very excited. Of course if you're, you know, you're buying things going up 50% of the day, it's going to be nuts. But, but there are going to be corrections and when those corrections come, don't panic. They're usually good buying opportunities. However, at the last correction, when things go absolutely nuts and absolutely parabolic, that is the last time that you're going to make a bunch of money because those on the way down after that parabolic rise is the, you know, inevitable one to two year bear market.
