The typical characteristic of altcoin行情 is that kind of continuous rise that makes people both excited and scared.

For example. Suppose you buy a certain altcoin at the bottom price of 0.2, then over the next month it might climb to 1, and another month to 2. The whole process seems uneventful, with daily gains of just ten or twenty points, occasionally accompanied by a few dips that scare you into cold sweats. But when you look at the weekly chart, it's all consecutive large bullish candles lined up, which is a typical altcoin seasonal rhythm.

For short-sellers, they've actually experienced the opposite version long ago. From December last year to April this year, it was a period of making money by shorting with eyes closed—every day was a decline, with no resistance at all, as if the bears were the absolute rulers of the market. The行情 rotates in cycles like this; the狂欢 of the bulls is the nightmare of the bears, and vice versa. The key is whether you can catch the rhythm and choose the right direction at the right time.
