Altcoins are clearly relying to bitcoin so it can have value. Traders won't see it worth if it's not paired with btc and that is what makes them all weak unlike Ethereum that can still manage to go up or not crash even btc is dumping hard.
Coming from where things are heading, its still bitcoin is the basis of most alts to gain its value, when btc falls then alts are also doing the same, but like what you have said it is different from ETH as we can see that this project still progressing even bitcoin is showing bearish, personally I'm positive that most of those quality alts will aimed to gain the same support that btc and ETH already gain inside crypto market.

Altcoins are clearly relying to bitcoin so it can have value. Traders won't see it worth if it's not paired with btc and that is what makes them all weak unlike Ethereum that can still manage to go up or not crash even btc is dumping hard.
Bitcoin only affect the price of altcoins because all altcoins connected to bitcoin in all exchanger and all altcoins are easily converted to bitcoins so if bitcoin price goes down altcoins down also and if bitcoin price up altcoin price also up.
I think yes bitcoin realy affect most of all altcoins because bitcoins is the center of trading in short he is the middle man and to exchange your coins or tokens to other altcoins or in fiat money you need to exchange you coins or tokens to bitcoins first before you can convert to other currency so the price of bitcoin realy affecting altcoins price too.
from your opinion I can conclude when bitcoin prices stabilize and rise slowly alt coin prices go up, we see from the market capitalization for example IOTA in March last or when the crash hit the marketcap only 2.7 B $ now already reach 5.1B $ it shows at least he has gone up almost 50%, but did not rule out what you say is true, this any market can happen unexpectedly.
Bitcoin has a tremendous impact on the Altcoin price movement. That's because bitcoin has such a huge force that when the Bitcoin price moves then the entire price of altcoin is also certain to change. This is commonplace because Bitcoin is the first and most widely used digital currency today.
BTC affects many other altcoins. BTC girls almost decided to increase the reduction of other altcoin in the market. As BTC prices increase, other altcoins increase and vice versa
Bitcoin is leader and have high influence in the market and it effect the altcoins when price fluctuate. Altcoin still struggling and didn't make strong platform to survive alone.It is possible to but will take time may be later or soon.
When Bitcoin's price falls, the newbies are losing faith against altcoin and are starting to sell it. For that when the Bitcoin's price decrease, altcoin's price begin fall with it.
yup, everything is in correlation with btc and it goes something like this: when btc drops...everything drops, when btc goes on a bull run...everything drops. When btc stabilizes..that's when alts go absolutely berserk.
I noticed that most times when btc is rallying almost all of the altcoins dip. and when there is a crash in btc all altcoins suffer as well. my interpretation is that for the first alts can't sustain the price against the $ if btc is high. and for the second, everyone is panic selling btc.

Bitcoin is the father if crypto currencies so people mainly focus on bitcoins so I think that bitcoins suffers a drop or dump its opens an opportunity to buy bitcoins in cheap prices so most of the people cash out their alt coins therefore alt coins suffers a drop.And also that for Bitcoin a fork is coming so people are trying to invest in bitcoins as much as they can so cashing alts coins might be an good option but maybe risky too.Also that alts coins has suffered a lot this year,I think mainly because of China banning ICOs which had a great impact for all.

Bitcoin has big effect on cryptocurrency market because when people look at the price the first glance is on the bitcoin price and then others. The reason is bitcoin is the leading crypto and mostly people have invested in it. Those who have less capital for investment buy other coins than bitcoin because of the low price and the growth is also slow.
It's kind of like when America has a recession the rest of the world suffers due to their global economic impact. Bitcoin is the same in that a drop in value has a knock on effect that can be felt everywhere else. Bitcoin needs to remain healthy, or altcoins need to get out of bitcoins influence to reduce this effect.
In the real world usd is the main currency that other currencies get campare with it and in cryptoworld bitcoin is the main currency that other coins get campare with it , So when the main currency goes down others would follow , why ?Because bitcoin is the strongest and has the biggest market cap , May be in future market cap of bitcoin changes but for now it is what it is!
for just what may ever happen in bitcoin it is reflect for in all altcoin that think to be under in bitcoin cause bitcoin is the coin for all the coins in this currency so we may actually see it as for what may bitcoin to be altcoin should be affect in it that this is recently happen.

Of course, the price of BTC affects the price of altcoins. When prices start falling due to negative news, investors sell their assets in the cryptocurrency. This provokes an even greater fall and some people panic.
I think btc does not have much effect on atlcoin. When btc decreases there are some altcoins that actually increase. Indeed bitcoin is the first coin, but I do not think bitcoin is a benchmark for other altcoins. They are affected by demand and supply on each coin

Before, just a couple of years ago, Bitcoin did not have such a great effect on the altcoins. Now we see the picture like this one: BTC is growing, and the alts are gaining. It is falling and the other coins do the same.

and when bitcoin is falling, this is happening too with altcoin. and today, with bitcoin price is in under $9000, many altcoins have dropped too and the altcoin is trying to survive in this situations because they see that bitcoin reach the bottom again. but once bitcoin increase back, the altcoin will getting an increase too. the big effect from bitcoin to altcoin is in the price for each altcoin but some of the altcoins don't get this effect and still trying to break the highest price like we see in the market.
