Is trading sideways to ETH/LTC a good hedge?

[Slowth]

Ive always thought of a portfolio of BTC and alts (small-Med cap) but i’m also seeing more volatility with more
Pumps and corrections than I’m used to before, and that doesn’t help my sleep cycles

Do you guys think sideways trades to ETH/LTC do help mitigate those big pumps and dramatic corrections? Not considering expanding to further alts even if they’re within the top 10 cos it’s too much.
