What Is Going On With Altcoins? Correction Is ‘Understandable But Healthy,’ Says Trader
By Benzinga
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 (CRYPTO: NOT) has increased 67% from its entry point. The others in the list included Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) (entry at $2,890), Sei (CRYPTO: SEI) (entry at $0.28) and Toncoin (CRYPTO: TON) (entry at $5.5).
