Strong support for the Bitcoin price is at $42000, if the Bitcoin price is below $42000,
it's possible that we have entered the bear phase, from 2020 to 2021 the Bitcoin price is bullish, and indeed it may be bearish time,
but if the Bitcoin price can stay at $42000 and experienced a bounce, then the bulls will continue and the altcoins will party again
Afaik, when Bitcoin moves, altcoins moves too but I was surprised though when after all the pumps in the past few months Bitcoin price still hodls and stay at $40k+ even though we are nearly moving to the bear market. I guess this is how people do their jobs when they knew how the market works after what it has done to them in the last Bitcoin bull run on 2017.
People keep expecting something from the altcoins even though most of it are not worthy but there are few among them that are worthy to be or invest in. Perhaps it's the time to accumulate instead of keep waiting when is the next pump.
