Is crypto about to have a corection?steemCreated with Sketch.

Just saw these headlines at coindesk:

Looks like crypto is on a rally across the board; I have a portfolio of (mostly) BTC (about 80%), ETH (about 15%) and XRP (about 5%); but I am wondering if it is time to cash in some of the gains I made and wait for prices to drop.

What do you think? Is crypto about to go through a correction we can take advantage off?

Hello & Cheers!! I'm a content detection and information bot. You are receiving this reply because a short link or links have been detected in your post/comment. The purpose of this message is to inform your readers and yourself about the use of and dangers of short links.

To the readers of the post: Short links are provided by url shortening services. The short links they provide can be useful in some cases. Generally their use is benign. But as with all useful tools there are dangers. Short links can be used to hide all sorts of things. Quite frequently they are used to hide referral links for instance. While not dangerous this can be deceptive. They can also be used to hide dangerous links such as links to phishing sites, sites loaded with malware, scam sites, etc. You should always be extremely cautious before clicking on one. If you don't know and trust the poster don't click. Even if you do you should still be cautious and wary of any site you are sent to. It's always better to visit the site directly and not through a short link.

To the author of the post: While short links may be useful on some sites they are not needed on steemit. You can use markdown to format your links such as this link to steemit. It's as simple as [steemit](https://steemit.com) Unlike short links this allows the reader to see where they are going by simply hovering over the link before they click on it.

While I am no expert, my opinion is that Ethereum and altcoins in general are going to have a great run through year’s end and the first quarter of 2018. Most coins are down sharply from all time highs this summer, and if bitcoin moves sideways or goes even slightly bearish for a while, a lot of money will flow into alts. It’s hard for me to predict how CME futures and Bitcoin Cash are going to affect BTC trends in the near future. XMR is being adopted more and more by dark web markets (Libertas deals only in XMR) which should increase demand. I can’t give you financial advice, but if I was you I’d HODL ETH and XMR for now, and consider diverting a small percentage of your BTC into something a little more exciting, like QSP (available in Binance) or into something safe like C20 (still in ICO, not on exchanges yet). If you haven’t heard of Quantstamp (QSP) or Crypto20 (C20) I highly recommend looking them up. Both great projects! Cheers!
