I mean we normally end up with some sort of bitcoin run then some sort of altcoin run at seemingly random periods. People might be expecting the 4 year continuation pattern of bitcoin to keep going and, if this happens, altcoins should see major growth around q3 next year (Oct-Dec). There could be mini rallies half way through next year too imo. Somewhere around March but it might depend on how the economy is doing between now and then...
We can't really predict about the altcoins' movement. But normally, the top alts follow the market trend of btc. But only those that are already established in the market. Now, if we are talking about specific alts, it is better to follow their respective developments. Because their actual developments and progress will have significant impact on their market value. If traders will not see movement from the team, then I don't think they will be interested to trade with that coin, unless, it has specific use case for them like using for transfer purposes because of very minimal fee for transaction.
