Analyst Forecasts Altcoin Carnage Ahead But Some Will Survive Crypto Winter

  • Analyst Benjamin Cowen predicts many altcoins will not survive the crypto bear market and 2022-2024 will be difficult for them.

  • Cowen believes some altcoins will reveal true value while others will disappear before the next bull market.

  • He argues altcoins tend to follow this trend of depression then resurgence in past market cycles.

  • Cowen says the Fed's monetary policy greatly influences the cyclic behavior of altcoins.

  • Any Fed pivot to less hawkish policy would likely coincide with a recession, which is bearish for crypto.
