Crypto 'Greed Almost At All-Time High, But Prices Are Not' Warns Trader: 'This Cycle Is Kinda Cooked'

Twitter personality WazzCrypto recently shared his apprehensions about the current state of the cryptocurrency market, suggesting that the conditions are not as favorable as they were in 2021.

What Happened: WazzCrypto took to his X account to highlight the prevalence of overvaluation in the market, with many new projects launching with valuations exceeding $10 billion. He also pointed out instances of venture capital scams emerging after the last market crash.

Additionally, WazzCrypto discussed the impact of memes on market sentiment and the influx of new money into the cryptocurrency space. He noted that while institutional involvement in Bitcoin BTC/USD has increased, resulting in reduced volatility, this trend may not necessarily benefit all alternative cryptocurrencies.

He indicates that while some will experience "great outperformance" others could struggle due to oversaturation and a lack of funding, leading to a competitive and fragmented market.

He suggested that this could result in extended periods of sideways movement, with potential profit opportunities in yield farming.

Why It Matters: While WazzCrypto remains fully invested in the market, he hinted at the possibility of adopting more aggressive profit-taking measures in the future, depending on market conditions. He cautions that while his market estimate could be right unless "something structural about the market changes until the end of the year."

While he calls Bitcoin the "saving grace" and the trend upward to reduce volatility, he also sees the effect trickling down to the altcoins. However, he says, "I think the rising tide will only lift some boats, not all."

Notably, Dogecoin DOGE/USD and Shiba Inu SHIB/USD remain prominent players in the meme coin space, but newer meme coins have also entered the market with significant gains, reshaping the landscape of meme coin investments. The top 10 meme coins board has also witnessed a major shake-up in the past one year.
