We have broken 8k and the next stop seems to be 10k. This would mean a 25% increase in the price. If Alts follow the pattern from before (Bitcoin Gold and Segwit 2x forks) we can expect a drop of 30-40% in the Alts. I will probably sell my Alts and wait for the coming drop. Or does anyone think that Alts will rise along with Bitcoin? What are your plans for the Alts in the coming week/month?
If it follows the usual pattern alts will climb along side bitcoin. Although whenever some people make some money they will try to flip it so we will be in a red zone. When btc is healthy , alts are as well as everyone is trying to find the next big thing and earn enormous amounts. But don't forget that bitcoin is the big gigant out there and mostly because of this some alts have value as people tend to believe that this is the thing. So my expectations is that they should be healthy - but anyway this all depends on what kind of altcoin are you hodling. In case of lets say xmr,dash, eth or some other "recognisable" crypto I myself wouldn't sell them.
Point is that higher risk comes if you hold alts but thats why it can be more profitable at end. Since btc needs to be like 16k in value to be able to double its price where as some altcoin that is like 0.10 can easily be 0.20 or even more tommorow and also backwards.
