Many people keep complaining that “this year’s bullrun doesn’t look like a bullrun at all.” That feeling is actually very accurate – because aside from a few top coins attracting capital inflows, most other altcoins are almost… completely ignored by the market.
Many coins are in a prolonged downtrend even during a bull cycle, not only failing to rise but even breaking new lows. So, a lot of people go through an entire cycle without making a single cent in profit.
If you look at the “old-timers” like XRP, ZEC, you’ll clearly see the issue. They pump with just one vertical green candle – just like a firework. If you want to get in, you can’t make it in time. After the pump, it dumps, and then just keeps dropping, never looking back. Previously, when ZEC hit around 760, I said it was getting risky, yet there were still people hoping it would soar to 1000. In this market, it’s obvious who wins and who loses.
What about DOGE? A “national” meme coin with a long history, yet this whole cycle it couldn’t even break its previous all-time high. So it’s clear: the problem isn’t with DOGE — it’s with overall market liquidity.
In 2021, money poured into crypto like a flood. Tens of millions, hundreds of millions of USD flowed everywhere, even junk coins were pumped. But this current bullrun is completely different — there’s not enough capital to sustain a broad altcoin rotation, so only a few strong sectors benefit, while the rest are left to quietly stagnate.
In other words:
➡️ This is a structurally driven bullrun, not a comprehensive one.
➡️ Capital selectively flows into only certain ecosystems and tokens.
➡️ Old coins with weak liquidity have almost no chance of making strong moves.
DOGE might be out of the game this cycle.
But in the next cycle, there’s a high chance it will still break a new ATH – because DOGE always has a shakeout phase lasting years. And unlike most altcoins, DOGE is almost risk-free from being delisted or disappearing from the market.
So if you’re still holding DOGE:
✔ This isn’t a coin that will “disappear.”
✔ With enough patience, the next cycle is very likely to recover, maybe even bring profit.
✘ But the crucial condition: you have to hold until then.
The market changes, capital flows change — but DOGE is still there, it’s just not moving the way you want this cycle.
