POPCAT Shows How Smart Money Buys in Bull Markets
According to analyst Altcoin Sherpa, traders waiting for textbook 50% retracements in strong bull markets may be missing the boat.
Instead, the smarter move might be to watch for consolidations after shallow pullbacks—a strategy that’s playing out perfectly with meme-coin darling POPCAT.
The 25% Rule in Bull Markets
In trending markets, price rarely gives deep corrections. “You’ll want to find these consolidations where price moves down 25% or whatever from the highs and chills,” Sherpa explains. These zones, marked in green on the chart, represent ideal accumulation ranges before the next leg up.
The POPCAT chart shows three such zones:
- Each consolidation occurs after a strong upward move.
- Price dips ~20–25% from local highs, then ranges.
- The breakout follows shortly after, validating the zone as a high-probability entry area.
This pattern suggests that buying the base after a minor cool-down—not waiting for a full crash—is the more effective play in vertical markets.
POPCAT’s Momentum Still Intact
As of the latest update, POPCAT is trading above $0.60 after another breakout from a fresh consolidation zone around $0.50. With volume rising and momentum strong, the pattern continues to favor the bulls.
The move further reinforces the idea that momentum buyers, not patient bottom-feeders, are winning in this cycle.
Conclusion: Adapt or Miss Out
Altcoin Sherpa’s takeaway is simple: in powerful bull runs, waiting for the perfect 50% pullback might leave you sidelined. Instead, look for these mid-cycle cooldowns and consolidations—like those seen in POPCAT—and consider them the new dip.
