Altcoin cycles don’t announce themselves with fireworks.
They begin in silence — while most people are distracted.
Both 2017 and 2021 followed the same blueprint:
first comes boredom, then disbelief, and finally acceleration.
The market structure today is quietly forming that same foundation again.
Before 2026, these are high-conviction, cycle-level altcoins on my radar:
Infrastructure Plays with Long-Term Demand
LINK
12.75
+0.23%
→ $200 – $400
GRTUSDT
Perp
0.03834
+1.24%
→ $10 – $25
$ICP → $300 – $600
ZEN
8.038
+1.19%
→ $150 – $350
$IMX → $20 – $50
These aren’t momentum chasers or social-media trends.
They’re networks with real utility, active development, and growing institutional relevance.
History is clear:
wealth is accumulated during quiet phases — not during euphoria.
Position early.
Think long-term.
Let patience do the heavy lifting.
