With markets turning defensive, analysts are sharing strategies for timing altcoin entries during November’s fear-driven pullback. From momentum setups to narrative plays, experts are cautioning against “knife catching” and urging patience until Bitcoin leads the next leg higher. Ways to Time Altcoin Entries Amid the Early November Bloodbath November began with a bloodbath, as the Bitcoin price dropped below the $100,000 psychological level. In the same tone, Ethereum turned negative for 2025, marking its steepest daily drop in months. Against the backdrop, the general sentiment among traders and investors is one of fear, uncertainty, and doubt. Amidst the chaos, however, some analysts see pockets of opportunity among select altcoins. Based on this, they share strategies that could turn fear into an opportunity for the steady hands. 1. Look for Strength, Not Support Breaks Trading analyst IncomeSharks advises investors to stay patient and avoid trying to catch falling knives. Instead, the focus should be on charts showing early bullish reversals or breaks of long-term downtrends. “Looking for a chart that has already started strength, broken a downtrend, or broken out of a year-long OBV trendline…makes more sense than trying to knife catch assets breaking support,” the trader said on X. In this regard, the analyst highlighted Internet Computer (ICP), noting that the altcoin has been surprisingly resilient. “It seems the worse the markets get, the better it does,” they remarked.

Follow the Hot Narratives — Privacy and ZK Coins in Focus Meanwhile, investor Lark Davis highlights that even when sentiment is bearish, there is always a specific sector rallying on its own. BeInCrypto reported that, over the past few weeks, the sector has been privacy coins and ZK (zero-knowledge) projects. “The privacy coins market cap is pushing $24 billion,” Davis said. Based on this, he highlighted Zcash (ZEC) and Dash (DASH). He also pointed to Litecoin (LTC) as a potential “catch-up trade” given its MimbleWimble privacy upgrade and active ETF listing. Backing this trend, CoinGecko data shows “Privacy” and “Zero Knowledge (ZK)” among the top six trending categories globally, alongside Layer-0, Governance, and Masternodes.

Wait for Bitcoin to Lead Market analyst Benjamin Cowen offered a more cautious outlook, warning that the altcoin-to-Bitcoin (ALT/BTC) pairs could fall another 30% before recovering. “There hasn’t been a great reason for holding altcoins. The only way ALTs rally against BTC is if BTC rallies to new highs first,” Cowen said. He added that holding Bitcoin may be the safer play for now, noting that if BTC rallies to all-time highs, you could then assess whether a rotation into alts could come after that. Experts agree that November’s market fear could set the stage for selective opportunities, but timing and trend confirmation are key. Investors may find better entries once Bitcoin stabilizes or retests new highs, potentially igniting the next altcoin rotation. Until then, patience, sector awareness, and disciplined chart watching remain the smart play for traders amid crypto’s late-year turbulence.

Franklin Templeton, Bitwise, and Canary Capital have all filed updated S-1 registration statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in recent days, intensifying the race to launch the first U.S. spot XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF). The filings, posted between October 31 and November 4, suggest issuers are eyeing mid-November for potential launches. Major Asset Managers Join the XRP ETF Push Earlier today, Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart revealed that Franklin Templeton had submitted an amended S-1 featuring shortened “8(a)” language, an important legal tweak that allows a registration to take effect automatically within 20 days, bypassing direct SEC sign-off. The prospectus, dated November 4, outlines that the Franklin XRP Trust will hold the token as its primary asset, tracking its price performance. Both Bitwise and Canary Capital made similar filings last week, removing the “delaying amendment” that normally lets the SEC control approval timing. According to journalist Eleanor Terrett, this move positions Canary’s ETF for a November 13 debut, assuming Nasdaq grants final clearance through its 8-A filing. This approach mirrors the strategy used by issuers of the Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC), and Hedera (HBAR) ETFs last month, which launched under the same automatic rule despite parts of the U.S. government being shut down. Those launches were successful, with Bitwise’s BSOL ETF even recording $56 million in first-day trading volume, the highest among over 850 ETFs launched this year. Broader Market Implications and Investor Outlook The expected XRP ETF wave comes at a time when over 150 crypto ETF filings are pending with the SEC, spanning 35 different digital assets. The Ripple token currently ranks third among all crypto ETF targets, with around 20 separate filings, trailing only Solana and Bitcoin. Industry watchers say these developments show a clear shift in regulatory tone, following the end of Ripple’s five-year legal dispute with the SEC in August 2025. Analysts such as Nate Geraci of NovaDius Wealth Management believe XRP ETFs could “launch within the next two weeks,” marking what he called a “major moment” for mainstream crypto investing.
