The NEW Crypto Market Cycle

The crypto market is evolving, and understanding its new money flow cycles is crucial for maximizing profits in 2025.

The Old Model

For years, the crypto market followed a predictable pattern: Bitcoin > Ethereum > Altcoins > Microcaps > Reset. But as the market matures, this straightforward cycle is no longer reliable. Instead, money flow has become more nuanced, influenced by new technologies, narratives, and market dynamics.

In this week’s video, I break down the new phases of the cryptocurrency bull market, how money moves, and what it means for traders and investors looking to stay ahead.

What Is Crypto: Positions and Trades

Matt's Magic Touch: Another big week for the WIC community!

Matt from What is Crypto delivered again this week with several well-timed calls.

Let’s take a look at this week’s trades:

🚨Buy Alerts

  • $DXY - CTO project with fantastic narrative. Looks primed to break out & ceiling is crazy high. I think this has the potential to go to tens of millions.

  • Kekistan - Mid to long term along as FBB4 is in.

  • MYRIA - Looks primed to break out & gaming rotation seems to be a logical next step after AI - gaming has lagged and I think it catches a bid soon.

⚠️Sell Alerts

  • $HASHAI Sold 10% here - made a 400% gain on this 🔥🔥🔥 🔥 

    Don't sell your whole HASHAI Bag here and if your position isn't huge likely don't sell any. I think this is going to a minimum 5x from here and likely 10-20x (this could be a 50-100x for the discord if you got your entries right). AI is almost as good a narrative as memes however there are a lot less coins so the money is more concentrated = Great Pumpamentals 🚀 

  • $ALU Sold 25% of my bag - Up 200% 🔥🔥

    Still holding 75% of my ALU bag I am now risk-free as I am in profit even if it goes to zero. Still bullish on ALU but it’s irresponsible not to TP after a 750% move in a couple of weeks 🚀

  • $COSMO. It could still do well but I think there’s better risk-reward in the market!

👀Watchlist

  • $NYAN

  • The original Nyan Cat 🐈 - The world’s largest cat meme - MCAP 1.6mil - This coin has been around for multiple years.

  • Previously exited as the team left, but they are back and making content, which means a great entry with lots of potential upside.

TradingWright: Positions and Trades

TradingWright: Positioned for Success

TradingWright is showing why sharp market insight and stellar risk management are a winning combo. With a strong position poised for gains in the next move—and safeguards in place against downside risks—he’s proving the power of smart, balanced trading.

Let’s take a look at this week’s trades:

🚨Buy Alerts

  • $SOL

    Reason: Coming into major S/R; daily, weekly & monthly. Good to have some L1 exposure, especially SOL which has been leading for almost 2 years straight now.

    Entry: Adding between $230 - $200 range. Aim for $210-$215 avg entry.

    Slight daily market structure break, and a H4 clear market structure break so allow some time here for consolidation before continuation higher. The aim is to get an entry as low as possible here. Be patient 🙏

  • $LTC

    LTC is trending beautifully, holding strong all the way up to the weekly on the Ichimoku—a powerful trend indicator when momentum is in play. This is one of the best setups I've come across.

⚠️Sell Alerts

  • LTC / USD: Took profits after a solid 30% gain 🔥 

👀Watchlist

Expectations for Crypto Markets (Big Picture Stuff)

2025 is shaping up to be another explosive year for crypto, comparable to 2021 and 2017. If macroeconomic conditions align as expected, we could see significant growth, particularly for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and other altcoins, pushing toward a $10 trillion market cap.

However, near-term macro data looks uncertain. We’ve just had a 10-20% correction which was a fantastic buying opportunity. Another pullback seems likely before clarity returns. Based on global liquidity trends, which lead Bitcoin by 12 weeks, a pullback could occur after a strong December, potentially in January. Keep your eyes peeled! 👀

Key insights:

  1. Bitcoin might hit $110k-$120k before a correction.

  2. Market confidence will require more positive macro signals to continue growing. If this doesn’t happen it will create short-term fear.

  3. Even without a negative macro outlook, a 20%+ correction is plausible after Bitcoin’s 100% rally over two months. This is normal.

FAQ

  • Should I sell now and buy back later?
    No—timing the market is risky and often leads to mistakes. It’s early in the bull run and there’s plenty of room to grow.

  • Should I wait for the pullback to buy?
    There's no crystal ball. Focus most of your capital on the long-term potential rather than short-term fluctuations.

Whether Bitcoin dips to $80k, $100k, or runs to $250k, the bigger picture remains: crypto is on track for tremendous growth.

Stay focused, stop overthinking, and enjoy the ride to $10 trillion. 📈
