November 25th 2024. Much of the information in this article came from a transcript of a training video, I am getting ready to share could be worth thousands, for some people tens of thousands plus for others. If you know me, and my personal crypto investment philosophies, you will see my influence and concepts throughout this article/transcript.
THIS IS A PREDICTABLE PATTERN that has been part of every crypto bull run.
You can still get in and take advantage of this pattern during this bull market if you choose, but this is a reminder to myself and other readers of cmgcrypto.com to be prepared and waiting for this pattern shortly after new bull runs start.
Traffic on this website has increased 400% over the past 30 days, the Coinbase app is one of the most downloaded apps in the App Store, Robin Hood seems to be adding new cryptos daily and friends and family are calling me to ask about specific cryptos, so I would say RETAIL or bandwagon Traders are back in market. As most of you know, I believe in “Self-Education” the main reason I started this website was to keep perinate systems, concepts, ideas, and notes for myself during my major 1 year, 3 hours a day, personal crypto education period. I still spend an abnormal amount of time reading and following specific niches in the crypto space, but I know many of our readers don’t.
They come here looking for different perspectives than the talking heads, most who seem to be saying the same thing. (Which is a good sign by the way). Anyway, today while at my acupuncture appointment, I was listening to this video from Virtual Bacon, and I knew I had to get the transcript on this site for my benefit, and the people that follow CMGcrypto.com.
Pay close attention, this is a PATTERN that you need to understand and profit from, now and in the future, if you are going to invest in the crypto market.
We are experiencing a major shift in the market especially from last week because retail investors are fully back and you don’t have to take my word for it just look at for example the top coin rankings by performance over the past 7 days you will see popular coins from the last bull market like, XRP, Cardano, Stellar, Polka Dot, Tesos, Sandbox DeCentraland and many other blue chip, Legacy coins.
The coins that popped a lot in the 2021 cycle but are not popular on crypto Twitter. These are the strongest performers over the past two weeks. In the meantime the crypto Natives and the crypto gamblers on Twitter are still fighting in the trenches and trading meme coins on Solana. No matter how much hype they attempt to generate, they can’t even get their coins above 20 million in market cap without giving up and dumping.
Daily, new coins are being born from zero to go to 10 to 20 million again it’s really PVP in the meme coin trenches now. I think we are just about to have a major wave of liquidity coming into the mainstream coins from real world everyday investors who have not checked in on their crypto portfolio for 3 years.
So in this article I want to cover exactly how to identify these coins with the 7 criteria I am looking for and I’ll also give you my top picks taking into account these 7 criteria. I will share with you the ones that I see have the strongest potential to continue to run in this bull run.
There is a big split of participants in the market right now, as more retail investors are entering daily. When you are on browsing crypto Twitter the big buzz is all about meme coins. People are saying “oh like everyone that’s coming into crypto today is going in through the pump fun website and they are trading memes and that is all that is happening. NOT TRUE!
But when you take a closer look at what has happened over the last 7 days, you realize that is not true. OG alt coins, those investors are famaliar with due to the last bull cycel are starting to pop! THIS IS A PREDICTABLE PATTERN that will always occur during the start of a bull run after Bitcoin reaches all time highs.
Just hear me out. When you look at some of the most popular memes for example this a one that I’m in right now I’ve tweeted about it before like Flower AI this is a very Advanced AI agent that trades in the trenches & tracks wallets. It tracks Solana wallets then it makes a trade using AI agent data. Tracking who tweets about it, streams about it, you know and then tries to create its own dashboard so it’s a successful dow. It it does all of this but it’s only at 20 million market cap. How can this be true? Why is it not huge?
In the meantime what’s actually popular? Well you have Stellar Lumens one of the most mid curve coins that has a huge Legacy. This coin is from 2014 but this week it has had crazy growth. Over the past two weeks when you look at look at its market cap since November 6th until today November 24th the past 18 days this coin has seen1 billion doar of market cap inflow! This is a real circulating market cap. This is not new tokens being unlocked from FDY this is real buying pressure coming into this coin.
Stellar Lumens is one of my largest holdings, but you have never seen me write about it on this site. I bought a big bag way back in Decemeber of 2021, when a friend of mine recommended it to me. Mario D’Martino, some of you may know him as “The Bitcoin Cheff”
I can tell you right now, you ask 100 people on Crypto Twitter 99 of them have never owned Stellar (XLM) and they’re not going to, they are more interested in Dog with Hat or some other meme that has absolutely zero use case.
So who is buying XLM and other OG alt coins? You should also ask yourself, why is there 10 billion of liquidity injection into Stellar Lumens and you can see the same across many of these top performers in the the last 7day even in the 30-day time period.
None of the gamblers on Crypto Twitter are buying XLM or Teos/ Nobody on Crypto Twitter is buying Sandbox. Maybe some Chainlink or Dot but do you get what I’m saying here?
So this is the big split in the market. You have billions and billions of real retail coming in with their liquidity into these mainstream coins but they’re not buying the memes ! Real investors are selling the majority their memes becasue they are starting to see this PREDICTABLE PATTERN starting to happen.
That’s why I wanted to get this information out to you right away for you, I see the top down pattern happening now, the liquidity is rotating. You have Bitcoin dominating the large cap crypto space, but in the mid cap to small cap space, people are really not in the trenches, trading, YET!
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU UNDERSTAND that as of today, November 25th 2024, it’s not the NEW retail audience that are buying these OG Alt Coins.
So let me just share with you the criteria that I think is very important. I have nine criteria listed here and I will walk you through them. I think these are the main things you want to look out when it comes to implementing this OG Pattern.
This process is simple, as it relates to crypto investing, which most retail investors feel is complex. An absolue newbie can follow this system.
When my retail friends and family reached out to me, I wanted a somewhat safe system to share with them. They are never going to buy meme coins on Solana, it is too technical for them.
So here are the criteria that I see.
#1 It’s got to be in the top 100 coins
This is not because you know of some bias. People start from the top. People don’t care about market cap they don’t even know that the coins are ranked by market cap. Most people will never invest in coins in the $200 range.
#2 The coin has got to be one of the narratives that are already popular from last bull cycle.
So layer one’s block chains for sure. AI for sure and gaming for sure these three have all popped before. Now gaming you have to extend that to Metaverse some people got in through Decentraland with gaming narrative others got in through like Sandbox through the Metaverse.
#3 It’s got to be trading on some of the retail apps We’re not talking about Kucoin or even like Buybit It’s got to be Coinbase and much better if it’s on Robin Hood or PayPal VMO. What’s the downside here is that PayPal VMO cash app they don’t trade many altcoins. Cash app only has Bitcoin and VMO and PayPal only has Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash, & Ethereum Classic. You don’t have much choices there so that’s why I think Robin Hood is actually a very good distinction here.
Robin Hood gives us a good list so that’s why I have a list of Robin hook coins

#4 You’ve got to prioritize the coins with a LOW UNIT BIAS
What I mean by that is you compare a coin on the top list if you see a coin that’s a $40 Multiverse X versus or XRP at $1.50 versus a coin that is 4 cents, the retail audience they always prefer the coins with a low unit price, This pchycological reality is very important this is just a matter of Low Unit Bias. This misunderstanding is going to continue thoughout our lifetime.
Ask your parents or anybody that has not gotten into crypto before you share Ethereum at $3,000, verses SHIBA INU at less than a penny, they’re going to prefer SHIB because they don’t understand what market cap is. Very simply now you don’t have to go super extreme and expect the coin to be 1/10th of a cent. I think any coin that’s in the 10 cents to 50 cents range is all fair game.
With this predictable pattern, alt coin play, I don’t want to buy coins in that are hundreds of dollars unless they are absolutely really good.
Advanced investors that have been in crypto for a while, this doesn’t matter but for retail it really is a big difference
#5 You must focus on coins that have a large potential gain to their PREVIOUS ALL-TIME HIGHS
What I mean by that is you look at the chart for example on algorand this popped a lot already like you go on your coinbase your coin stats. As experienced investors we know to look at the log chart and say okay this is already popped quite a bit. Many retail apps don’t have this feature so what ends up happening is you just see the kind of the current price since 2022 has been compressed into a flat line like here and then all they see is oh wow this is so cheap compared to it’s previous price.
So people look at Algorand, maybe they invested in it during the previous bull run and think it is .27 cents right now, the last cyle it hit $2.82, that is a 10X return on what I buy now, if it hits its previous all time high in this bull cycle.
People are starting to understand that Bitcoin is going to 100K . They know there’s kind of a crypto wave going on, what they saw happen four years ago it’s probably going to happen again so that’s why you want to prioritize coins that are very far away from their previous all-time high.
The past two years of Bear Market looks like a flat line and you don’t have to open up each of these charts to see that. There is a tool called live coin watch which is able to tell you the percentage difference between current price to previous all-time high and gives you a short list which I’ll share with you guys in a bit.
#6 The more centralized exchange listings for the coin the better for retail investors.
The retail audience dose not trade on decentralized exchanges especially not on unisoft so we don’t want to buy any coins that are only on decentralized exchanges or heavy defi coins. Solana coins maybe are okay uh but that’s still like a little bit down the line from retail buyers, so no Dex coins only centralized exchange coins and the larger centralized exchange listings the better. When in doubt buy on Coinbase !
#7 You want Coins that appeal to an english speaking audience
There is no question that more people outside the USA are involved in crypto than outside, But American invest (gamble) in crypto during a bull market more than other coutries. The last cycle was driven by English-speaking audiences so you want to prioritize coins that have a kind of Silicon Valley sounding name. Common English words so when people read that word they have an understanding what that word is. They have a sense of like okay this word represents a certain type of Technology whether that’s gaming or a blockchain, Finance, AI, Decentralized Computing, something that’s easy to understand just from the ticker alone
is a good sign.
#8 You want to prioritize the the coins that were popular that popped really big in the 2021 Bear Cycle This means a lot of people would have gotten into these coins late in 2021 but they still have tham in the back of their mind. so when I ask people to think back three four years ago when we had kind of the Thanksgiving Dinners in 2020 and 2021 what kind of coins were my parents, old high school friends and people I go to church with asking me about.
Obviously there was Doge, Shibu Inu which were the only two meme coins back then. Those are the only two memes back then but they also asked about Cardano, XRP, Stellar Lumens, Polka Dot, Polygon. It wasn’t really Solana or Algoran for example & Chain Link popped uring the last major bull run. These coins went up a lot and people will remember these coins names and they open up their coinbase app for the first time over the past three years and they type in the few names that they remember, maybe Sandbox or Avalanche if they got in a bit later around the Metaverse hype.
So you want to focus on the coins that made the major name for themselves in the 2021 bull market this usually corresponds to them having a high previous all-time high because that means they made a big splash and a lot of people heard the name.
#9 Because the market cap shot up a lot and then lastly if you can, you want to prioritize the coins that are similar to the first mover narratives.
Coins like XRP which is for for banking for cross banking payments for large financial institutions. Coins like Cardano an alternative layer one similar to the Ethereum killer people are still going to go back to that and then you have SUI this time around which is hypers scalable it’s like a Solana competitor so when you prioritize this list.
It should be immediately obvious but these four types of comparisons will give you some of the coins that have staying power in this cycle. So this is the last criteria that I have on this list so with these nine criteria you focus on them I think you can have a really good time in this ealy alt coin retail pattern.
Now look at factors we didn’t consider here which is how High the market cap is or tokenomics or fundamentals because really that doesn’t matter for a retail audience. When I have a relative asking me about specific cryptocurrencies, they’re never going to ask me what do you think about the tokenomics of cardano? or what do you think about the full valuation of Solana or what which blockchain do you think is faster they’re never going to ask that so you don’t want to think about that too much.
There will be a time for that but right now during this PREDICTABLE PATTERN ALT COIN CYCLE, it is not the time to consider this. So with that being said, let’s go into the actual list keeping these nine criteria in the back of our minds.
Here is how I’m tackling this so, the first starting point we want to narrow down some of the coins so right away you have the top 100. So the tool I’m going to use is live coin watch so live coin watch it’s not the best portfolio tracker or anything but the main thing that it really excels in is this layout format.
The basis of The Live Coin Watch is like a lighter version of Coin Gecko or Coin Market .Cap but it really lets you customize what you want to see in the columns so you track Alltime Highs,the percentage gain to previous alltime high so how many X’s of return could you see if the coin goes back to previous alltime High. You can track the coins 7day and 30-day price change and the charts and how many exchanges have the coin listed so these are very similar to the criteria we have listed earlier in the article. For this, I took out market cap cuz honestly I don’t even want to consider that. Once I have the criteria set up, I just go down the list of the top 120 to 150 coins. When you look at the top 100 coins they will not be so consistent so I went a little bit over top 100 then what I did is I used this favorite format so this tool here lets take the little heart and then you can put them into a basically in a temporary watch list for your favorite coins that you want to compare.
So I listed them out and filtered by my favorite so I’m not going to show you the full list. There were a lot of coins on my initial list. I ended up with a list of about 50 solid coins to apply the PREDICTABLE ALT COIN PATTERN. In order to narrow this down I went to the top and worked our pay down through various setcors. I am just looking for 10 solid targets Implement this short term Alt Coin Pattern.
I think 10 coins is all need need spanning across the 3 major sectors of crypto, Layer One Blockchains, AI and Gaming. So a really good starting point is the current coins that are offered on Robin Hood because remember the uh PayPal VMO cash app they don’t offer enough. They only offer the main ones Coinbase offers everything.
So I only want to Target coins on Coinbase while coinus has a few hundred coins you can’t buy all of them that that’s why Robin Hood is a very good target because Robin Hood specifically targets the US audience english speaking and mainstream investors. This is what Robin Hood does best and they have right now 41 coins you can check out the list above.
So the first sector is layone one blockchains.
I did not include XRP on this list of 10 because XRP is on my original base list of 30 coins. I originally got into XRP at 52 cents, and my target price is 6X in the $3.00 range. The previous all time high was back in Jan of 2018, it was $3.84.
Many XRP holders are projecting XRP to run to the $10.00 range in the bull cycle, and the long term upside potential of XRP based upon their use case is unlimitted. When people ask me about XRP, tell them buy XRP if you want, it will continue to pump in this bull cycle.
Solana is not on this list, because it is on my base list of 30 cryptocurrencies and one of my top long-term holds.
Here are my Top Coins for the 10 Coins I am buying today to implement the PREDICTIBLE PATTERN ALT COIN STRATEGY.
For AI (Artificial Intelligence)
Render (ERC-20)
Akash Neteork (AKT)
For GAMING
Immutable (IMX)
Decentaland (MANA)
Sandbox (SAND)
Avalanche (AVAX)
Gala V1 (GALA)
For Layer 1 /2 Blockchains
Algorand (ALGO)
SUI (SUI)
INTERNET COMPUTER (ICP)
My goal with this portfollio is simple, DOUBLE MY MONEY by the first quarter of 2025 and be out of this PREDICTABLE PATTERN ALT COIN PLAY. Keep in mind, my projected target price is NOT for the entire bull cycle. My goal is that the coin will hit the TARGET PRICE below by the end of the first quarter of 2025.
