Altcoin research framework
Research reduces ignorance; it does not eliminate risk. Altcoins can lose most of their value.
This framework is for learning — not buy recommendations.
Before you open a chart
Define why this alt belongs in your book: sector bet, asymmetric upside, ecosystem exposure, or short-term momentum. If the answer is "Twitter said so," stop.
The 6-point checklist
- Liquidity — USDT pair volume on Binance; wide spreads punish entries and exits.
- Tokenomics — Unlock schedule, inflation, treasury concentration (read docs, not hype).
- Sector context — Use Market Risk Radar to see if the sector is already crowded.
- Portfolio impact — Will this push any holding past ~25%? Concentration guide.
- Correlation — Alts often move with BTC; check dominance and your core weight.
- Exit plan — Write invalidation (thesis break) before you buy, not after a dump.
Using Smitvi after you allocate
Add the position, sync read-only keys, and watch health score + concentration alerts. Pair with whale flow context — large exchange deposits are data, not automatic sell signals.
When to pass
Low liquidity, unclear unlocks, or a portfolio already heavy in the same narrative. Passing is a valid outcome — most alts are not worth your time.
