Just wanted to point this out for anyone who did not know or have trouble remembering.
Monitor your favorite coins and follow the trends. Your charts should look similar and consist of the cup and handle formation before looking for your entry.
Don't always just jump in after a pump already started. You need to be able to catch the move first and DCA into them.
An important thing to keep an eye out for is the Volume rising above their 10 day average and the indicator widget flashing a Strong Buy signal.
Those are just a few things to monitor when looking for your next altcoin.
If you have never experienced a parabolic Altcoin run up. the best advice I can give you is to just let it run. If the coin is actually a decent project, it will continue to retest ATH and push past it creating and even larger cup and handle pattern for a new ATH price target.
I would not recommend shorting for extended periods of time. Pumps can go way higher and way faster than you can expect.
Regardless, most alts you buy now while they are down will eventually pump a modest 50-150%, and more commonly will retest their All Time High.
