Top Crypto Trader Rotates Profits Into New Altcoins After 100% Rally

Michaël van de Poppe, a well-followed crypto analyst and trader, revealed he recently took profits on PEAQ after a strong rally, reallocating part of his position into other altcoins to maximize compounding gains.

Just a few weeks ago, Van de Poppe shifted $4,500 from smaller altcoins, including Optimism (OP), Wormhole (W), and Rocket Pool (REZ), into PEAQ at around $0.06 per token. That move quickly paid off as PEAQ surged to $0.126, more than doubling his initial allocation.

Instead of holding through potential short-term pullbacks, he decided to take partial profits. Roughly $2,500 worth of PEAQ was sold, and the funds were rotated into $1,500 of W at $0.0908 and $1,000 of REZ at $0.1192.

Why Rotate?

Van de Poppe explained that active portfolio management is about compounding results rather than chasing tops. By moving into assets that have not yet made major moves, he reduces downside exposure and positions for fresh upside.
“If PEAQ consolidates while W or REZ double, the rotation yields an extra $2,500 that can later be cycled back into PEAQ,” he noted.

Active Management Over Passive Holding

This strategy has helped him rebuild his broader altcoin portfolio to $65,000, despite starting from $110,000 and weathering a bear market. His target is to push the portfolio back toward $275,000 as markets recover.

He acknowledged the risks of missing further gains in PEAQ but emphasized that “compounding returns outweigh trying to time the absolute peak.”

Technical Outlook

PEAQ’s chart shows it is extended in the short term, trading well above key moving averages. Van de Poppe expects consolidation before another leg higher, reinforcing his decision to partially rotate capital.

By October, he believes the active rotation approach could significantly boost performance if other altcoins catch up. The key, he stressed, is maintaining flexibility and avoiding stagnation in assets that have already rallied.
