Michael Van De Poppe Says Bitcoin, Ethereum And Altcoins Close To The Point Where Investors Can 'Buy The Dip'

Michael Van De Poppe Says Bitcoin, Ethereum And Altcoins Close To The Point Where Investors Can 'Buy The Dip'
Cryptocurrency enthusiasts are closely watching as both Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) and Ethereum(CRYPTO: ETH) near critical buying levels, according to renowned analyst Michael van de Poppe.
What Happened: Van de Poppe has identified that Bitcoin and Ethereum are approaching levels where purchasing on dips could prove beneficial.

Van de Poppe stressed the significance of “dip buying” for Bitcoin, which is currently trading at $89,250. He pointed out that Bitcoin is nearing its first major point of interest for traders.
 
"Dip buying, that's what we want with Bitcoin. Getting close to the first point of interest, and, in the meantime, ETH is getting close towards an optimal entry as well."
"The general plan for the upcoming period is to buy the dip."
 
The analyst also highlighted opportunities in other altcoins, advising traders to watch for entry points in these digital assets in the coming weeks.

Van de Poppe’s strategy for the near future involves buying dips, with altcoins expected to see significant breakouts.
He recommended maximizing potential gains by purchasing altcoins during 20-50% dips, allowing traders to capitalize on anticipated market movements in the cryptocurrency sector.

Why It Matters: The cryptocurrency market has been experiencing fluctuations, with recent events adding complexity to the trading landscape. Earlier this week, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s remarks dampened hopes for rate cuts, causing Bitcoin to dip below $88,000 after initially surpassing $91,000. Ethereum also saw a decline, dropping from $3,240 to $3,040.
Despite these setbacks, optimism remains. On November 15, Ark Invest's Cathie Woodprojected Bitcoin’s price could reach up to $1.5 million by 2030, citing regulatory relief and growing institutional interest.
Additionally, Arthur Hayes suggested that policies under President-elect Donald Trump might weaken the dollar, boosting Bitcoin’s value.
 
1. With ETFs - Exchange Traded Funds - one will be playing with SPECULATIVE stocks akin to a pyramid game as such funds are backed by NOTHING. One pays REAL dollars for a mere token. If it rises good for you. If it drops in value, you end up with a mere token that none wants & cant even eat it.

Thus gamble with only what one can afford to lose, & NOT on hard earned life savings, or child's education funds, or even that long needed funds to see the World on vacations.


2. Bitcoin is a speculative fund. It now costs est $91,000/per coin. Most of the so called 'experts' that claim such coins will continue to rise are NOT BASED on facts, but only ASSUMPTIONS, such as a new US President soon into power that supports ETFs, so called 'entry points', etc, etc. Most of them by the way are AFFILIATED with Bitcoin's fate, as thus do have personal interest that it rises, winging & faking it along the way so that the naive will part with their savings.


3. At least they did admit that Institutional interest in ETFs are on the rise, but which ETF? Once institutional interests are on the rise, then this speculative game is NO longer in the hands of the common man, as they will have the financial power to move the markets up or down at will, as ETFs are backed by nothing.


4. Of interest will be the latest ETF - Dodgecoin. It costs only a mere SGD$0.49 per coin.

Should I be in charge of a Sovereign Wealth Fund - such are institutional funds - I would dump $300 Billion into this ETF, as it is low cost & speculation is high on who supports Dodgecoin.

Should I place $300Billion in a bank, it would take a year to earn that mere avg 4% on interest A YEAR.

Should I place it in Dodgecoin, that billion$ would certainly MOVE the market up, & speculative fools rush in, which an est $1 Trillion is traded DAILY on FOREX alone, thus when they move in, Dodgecoin will rise, & within days, it will certainly earn MORE than the mere 4% by banks that take a year to see such interest earnings.

Buy low, sell high, then buy low again, & sell high, etc.. this game can continue forever with my $300Billion.

HOWEVER, do not take my word for it. I am only an insignificant nobody. I presumed that I am alone with $300 billion to play this market, but there ARE OTHER SWF that would have BIGGER funds to play this game.

As mentioned - ETF is backed by nothing. It is a game that only institutional funds can play. Thus, only gamble with what one can afford to lose.

What is the Gravestone Doji?
What This Means for the Market
Altcoins Are Coming
Crypto Payroll Is Changing
Wrapping it Up
As we dive deeper into the cryptocurrency realm, patterns like the Gravestone Doji start popping up, hinting at potential shifts in the market's dynamics. The appearance of this pattern could signal that Bitcoin's dominance, which has ruled the roost for a while, is at a crossroads. Buyers did their part to drive prices up, but the inability to hold those gains raises significant questions. Let's break down what this could mean for BTC dominance and, ultimately, for altcoins.

What is the Gravestone Doji?​

A Gravestone Doji forms when the open and close prices are nearly identical at the low of the session, topped off with a long upper shadow. This indicates that buyers made a move but couldn't keep the momentum going. It’s a sign of indecision, and in the context of Bitcoin, it suggests that its stronghold in the market might be weakening.

Historically speaking, this pattern isn’t a foolproof indicator. Research suggests it has been about 57% reliable in predicting subsequent upward movements. So, it cannot be used alone. It’s best to pair it with other indicators like RSI or MACD to minimize false signals.

What This Means for the Market​

Right now, BTC dominance is dancing around indecision, as shown by the Gravestone Doji. This could mean that Bitcoin's stronghold is slowly slipping away, potentially allowing altcoins to gain ground. As Bitcoin bounces around, investors should keep an eye on key indicators like trading volumes and sentiment to gauge the broader market health.

A decline in Bitcoin's dominance often sees capital flowing into altcoins. This could create opportunities for those looking to diversify their holdings.

Altcoins Are Coming​

With the Gravestone Doji emerging on the BTC dominance chart, it’s clear that altcoins might be gearing up for their moment. If Bitcoin's dominance continues to drop, altcoins could take center stage. Investors should think about reallocating some resources into promising altcoins, especially those in DeFi or linked to cutting-edge technologies.

Tokens like Ethereum (ETH), Binance Coin (BNB), and others might benefit from a changing market sentiment. By diversifying, investors can position themselves for potential altcoin seasons, where price movements get wild.

Crypto Payroll Is Changing​

The rise of altcoins and stablecoins is also shaping how businesses handle payroll. As Bitcoin's dominance dims, companies are turning to stablecoins for their operations, ensuring they stay stable and compliant. We’ve seen this happen more in places like Singapore and Hong Kong with clearer regulations.

Using cryptocurrency payments in payroll is becoming more mainstream. Startups paying salaries in Bitcoin or stablecoins are gaining traction, reflecting a wider acceptance of digital currencies in daily transactions. This not only streamlines operations but also attracts talent that values innovative payment methods.

Wrapping it Up​

To sum it all up, the Gravestone Doji pattern is a crucial indicator for understanding potential shifts in Bitcoin's dominance and the broader crypto market. While it doesn’t guarantee a market crash, it does suggest that Bitcoin's grip is weakening, paving the way for altcoins. Investors should stay on their toes and adjust their strategies to seize emerging opportunities.

As the crypto world evolves, being aware of market indicators and adapting will be key. By diversifying into altcoins, investors can navigate the complexities and position themselves for future growth.

India to cut long-term bond issuance as demand from insurers wanes​

The move may spur a rally in longer-tenor bonds, following calls from market participants for the government to reduce issuance of these securities​


bonds


The administration retained the bond-sale target at 6.77 trillion rupees ($76.3 billion) for the second half of the fiscal year ending March 2026, the government said in a statement after market hours on Friday.
 

The truth behind the 12-14% returns in bonds​

While high-yield Indian corporate bonds offering 12-14% returns are tempting in a low-interest environment, they often mask significant credit risk. Investors are cautioned that the high returns reflect a higher likelihood of default or downgrade, citing historical crises like IL&FS and DHFL, making safer AAA-rated options a more prudent long-term choice.​

The allure of high returns has always been a major draw for investors, especially in an environment where interest rates seem stagnant. Recently, there’s been a significant buzz in India’s fixed-income market with bonds offering returns as high as 12-14%. It’s hard to ignore the appeal of such attractive yields, particularly when many of these instruments are seen as low-risk.

The temptation is understandable – why settle for a 6-7% return on a government bond when you could pocket 14%? But what’s the real story behind these high yields? Are these high yields really as safe as they seem, or are investors inadvertently overlooking underlying risks that could materialize with serious consequences?

Over the past few years, corporate bond issuances in India have been on the rise. We have seen the issuance peaking in 2023 with an 89% YoY increase to ₹17,378 billion. The jump was likely driven by a combination of factors, including rising interest rates and an improving economic climate post Covid-19.

The first half of CY 2025 so far too saw an impressive 48% YoY growth in corporate debt issuances. Companies, especially in sectors like real estate, infrastructure, and non-banking financial companies (NBFCs), have increasingly turned to the bond market to raise funds.

The allure of the 12-14% promise

In the face of low interest rates post rate cuts in 2025 on safer options like bank fixed deposits, these higher-yielding corporate bonds are tempting for investors looking for a higher return. However, many of these high-yield bonds are not as safe as they might appear.

The danger of default (credit risk)

A closer look for FY 24 issuances reveals that nearly 65% are AAA rated (highest credit rating), and nearly 11% are below BBB.

Bonds rated lower than BBB fall into the category of non-investment-grade or “junk” bonds. While these ratings don’t mean immediate default, they do indicate a higher risk of credit issues. A company rated AA is still considered “investment-grade,” but it’s a far cry from the safety of AAA rated bonds, which are generally considered as sound standard for creditworthiness. So, the logic here is simple – The lower the rating, the higher the likelihood that the issuer could face financial troubles. And these troubles can take many forms, from poor cash flow to unforeseen economic conditions or even regulatory changes.
