Its because of the upcoming fork. Many people are exchanging their altcoins for Bitcoins because they want to receive free Bitcoin gold. Many people think that the same that happened with bitcoin cash could happen to bitcoin gold. If you have bought many altcoin then don't panic and don't sell now cause the alts will make huge recovery after the fork.

To the periodic drop in the rate of altcoyn it is necessary to get used to. Crypto currency is very volatile. This is one of its characteristics. However, after the fall of the course, its growth will definitely be, and in this it is necessary to find advantages, for example, for good trade.

Bitcoin Gold fork

Yup that's what happening. As usual people are afraid of loosing the free money and hence they are trying to buy as much bitcoins as they could into their wallets. This will increase chances of getting free equivalent bitcoin gold in the coming days after the hard fork. They will also don't want to loose the altcoins for the fork purpose and hence trying to secure the money with altcoin. That also explains why the prices of bitcoin are increasing right now.

Yes it could be because of the bitcoin fork, people want to get free coins so there could be a lot of trading from altcoins to bitcoin.

I don’t think there has been yet any information from exchanges because it is actually to early for it, also I’m pretty surprised that dumping alt coins and buying BTC for hard fork happened this early... we still got 16 days left...

This might continue even in the next coming days, its because of upcoming bitcoin fork, hopefully they will recover once this is all over, bitcoin might begin reaching new all time highs within the next few days.

This might be that a lot of investors are dumping their altcoin investments into bitcoin so that they will be able to claim more bitcoin gold, hopefully.

Most altcoins are down because a lot of people are selling their coins to buy more bitcoins and ethereums.
But most people is buying bitcoin because they want to have more before the fork.
And this is the main reason of why the price is going up so quickly, it made more than $400 today, (about 8% of increase in 24 hours)
so it is amazing, but it is going up so quickly, we need to see how the market goes tomorrow.

All money are flowing into Bitcoin to get free airdrop for the bitcoin gold, it will be interesting to see whether people will also hold for the 2X fork, if so then there will be more to fall for the altcoins. You just need to weigh up your estimation of the profit from bitcoin gold, is it going to be 10%, 20% or even more of bitcoin value, or will you gain more on altcoins.

Is there any reliable information if they gonna do the same with bitcoin gold as they did before?

look the BTC Dominance: 52.7% what's happening to the altcoins? is it because of the fork?

I am wondering how many sites/exchanges will support bitcoin gold. Till date not much information (in fact almost zero) about this can be found.
There is only a statement on freebitco.in (also about bitcoin segwit 2x) but for the rest ...
Didn't see the dump of altcoins coming so soon before the fork

Alt-coin will hit it big once they find their smaller targeted audience, spamming new alt-coins that have no real purpose won't bring anything good.

Well if that is the case .. which altcoin are you going to buy in this dip and why
