After going all-in on altcoins three months ago, professional crypto trader Michaël van de Poppe has shaken up his altcoin portfolio, adding cryptocurrencies he considers will offer solid returns on investment (ROI) following the recent crash.
Indeed, van de Poppe explained that the correction, which affected different markets across the board, including crashing Bitcoin (BTC) by 30%, happened because of the Japanese Yen carry trade that caused the Nikkei to dip the most since Black Monday in 1987, as per his YouTube video on August 11.
Specifically, the expert explained that the crypto market crash in particular, not seen since FTX, happened “primarily due to the fact that [crypto trading firm] Jump Trading has been continuing its selling, Jump Trading has been doing the Japanese Yen carry trade by investing into crypto.”

#2 Aave (AAVE)
Next, according to the crypto analyst, is Aave (AAVE), “which is having a pretty standard and beautiful accumulation against Bitcoin, it’s making new highs against [Tether (USDT)], it’s just consolidating before a big breakout, and that is a great signal, and (…) has not been seeing a crash at all.”

For the time being, AAVE is trading at $96.65, which indicates a 2.91% growth in the last 24 hours, adding up to the increase of 19.80% across the previous seven days, as it reduces its monthly chart declines to a very minor 0.10%, the latest data suggests.

#3 Aevo (AEVO)
Finally, van de Poppe recommended investing in Aevo (AEVO), a decentralized exchange that is “fully diluted, and it’s very likely that from a technical perspective, it is making a bullish divergence, a falling wedge, and is likely to reverse from here,” as he stressed.

However, he is also a seasoned trader fully aware of all the risks associated with investing in crypto, so doing one’s own research alongside his recommendations is critical.
