If it does drop below 1000 and I'll be the first person to buy in lol
This is why altcoins decline more than BTC does when BTC declines.
Any altcoin that remained high would be sold to buy some cheap BTC. Since BTC can absorb more flows than altcoins can, the altcoins decline more on a percentage than Bitcoin. When BTC is rising, the inverse effect occurs.
So selling altcoins that had significant rises might be wise right about now while they are still near their peaks.
Comparing to the last Bit
FUnix heist crash which was a ~28% decline from Jan 5 to 7 and another ~11% decline from Jan 11 to 12 for a total decline of ~33%.
LTC/BTC had a 11% relative decline the day before on Jan 4 but it recovered and ended a 15% relative gain on Jan 9.
ETH/BTC had a 20% relative gain.
XMR/BTC had a 25% relative decline, but note XMR had been rising with BTC but lately XMR hasn't rise with BTC.
DASH/BTC had no leverage, so meaning it has same percentage moves as BTC.
I still don't get the point why altcoins should react bearish to BTC decline just now?
For the past months they were quite anti correlated to bitcoin.
And most people still see the undecided future of bitcoin scaling bullish for altcoins. So if Bitcoin price drops, they still go into altcoins.
For sure there will be and end at some point and maybe the end is near.
But there is still so much $ on the sidelines which wants to get into crypto and the market is tiny.
I doubt the whole crypto market will drop a lot in the coming weeks.
I rather think if Ethereum takes a big hit, the altcoin market turns bearish, which was the leader during the last bubbles.
But since Ethereum corrected already and might have found a new midterm bottom ( not sure yet of course, could even drop to 20$ again ).
I am still bullish on Litecoin, Ethereum and some smaller Cap coins.
Litecoin will get Segwit before Bitcoin, thats for sure.
