I think there is hope for other altcoins if precious assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum enter an uptrend. For example, $1000 became the bottom price for Ethereum. It's now up to around $1700. So, we may be in a good period for altcoins. For this reason, I think it might be good to buy altcoins gradually.
The bottom price was around 900. it seems like crypto is in a good track right now. I was seeing some people were also accumulating more and more tokens this time. This can be a signal if there will be a huge pump that may occur very soon. I hope that we will see the recovery phase as soon as possible caused by it has been long time since the last bullish trend in the crypto market. People are accumulating now. Altcoin market is in the right direction to recover from its bottom.
Unlike to you, maybe he doesn't track the price at all times but anyway I think his guess was still close to it. It's only a hundred dollars away from the real altcoins. Price of btc have improved by 3k so that might be the reason on why other cryptos such as eth have also recovered by some percent but better if we won't get too much excited as this could be another trap again like everyone else is saying.
Let's be calm for a while and see if btc really can cross to over 25k and above as that is the true sign that the altcoin market is going to improve. I am not surprised of those who buys a lot lately, thinking it's now the last minute. There are really people like that who feel safer or confident if they invest during a recovery.
