Is it bad for altcoin that BTC is dropping

[MidnightWolf]

Something in the last time I very much start to doubt that the prices for the whole cryptocurrency are tied to the price of Bitcoin.  Even altcoin today does not significantly change in price, Despite the fact that since the beginning of 2019, Bitcoin has increased almost 5 times in price, and all cryptocurrencies have remained at their level.

Agree, once the price of Bitcoin is increasing almost all altcoins prices will start decreasing because the value of altcoin price should match with the Bitcoin, we are seeing this whenever the price of Bitcoin increasing or decreasing. So there are chances to increase the price of altcoin only when the price of Bitcoin going down again.

when bitcoin falls, it seems like a lot of people will switch to trading on altcoins, so this should be a positive thing for the development of Altcoin.
but in the end everything returns to market reality,

when bitcoin falls then the altcoin can also be very bad. trading will decline, many who choose to save their assets on stable coins switch to altcoin it will be worse. except for altcoins that have their own pumps.

Of course if bitcoin goes down, there will be little effect on the altcoin even though it depends on demand in the crypto market, because seeing bitcoins go down so some people holding altcoins will save their coins because market conditions are faltering and investors will soon buy bitcoin so money on the market crypto rotates in bitcoin.

I think it's very good when the bitcoin price falls, most likely when btc falls the altcoin price will rise which I often see in the crypto market.

Though btc is little on down trend but not much rise happening in the altcoins and just unsure which ways altcoins are going to go as in past one month they were on the falling trend itself and many have lost huge amount due to altcoins fall in price.

When Bitcoin is falling, altcoins are falling also, and if you invested in tokens a lot, there is a great probability that your alts will go down. It happens all the time - suppose, this time, the fall will not last for more than several days.

It is generally the opposite if you are to buy alts with btc for example buying ETH/BTC pair

But if you were looking at Alts/Fiat, it might be different case here
BTC is paired to fiat, so generally Alts is also equal to BTC equal to fiat

However, for people who wanted to have more in terms of portfolio than fiat, holding alts could be good as you can hedge on the btc pricing when it drop

[HitTheLow]

Bitcoin price is constantly dropping for the last several days. What effects are putting it on Altcoins ? Is it bad or good ?

It is bad not just for altcoin but for the whole market as well,bitcoin is the sign of the status of his crypto market so whatever th trend of bitcoin defies the status of the investments

But bother no more because today bitcoin is uptrend meaning we’re on the top of the journey and our investments are on the good track now just like what we had once in 2017

Altcoin price pin to Btc price, so if BTC is falling it could affect other crypto prices. 

Yeah right,nice word for the topic lol

expect altcoins be more volatile than bitcoin and bitcoin price related

[sammy21]

With bitcoin quick rise investors are being moved to sell out their alts and hold bitcoin, emotional traders always play that way and it's had to predict how alts will move along, if you are into this phase you can scalp and do things according to your favor, so both ways rise or fall as long as you can take the opportunities to catch up with gaining decent, it will be depend on how traders interpret the market and how they will find ways to still in the positive sides.

In a market situation like this I think it would be reasonable if investors sell altcoin for bitcoin because now the growth and market movements are dominated by bitcoin. altcoin will lag if market conditions like this run and last long. altcoin must think of ways to walk together with bitcoin.

All coins are affected when BTC Is dropping in market because as far as I know this is the one they bases for in terms of increasing price.In this several days it was nothing to say but just waiting for the comeback.

I agree with you. Basically most times when investors sell off bitcoins, it's not necessarily to cashout to fiat but largely to invest in altcoins with good potential and this activity is what moons the altcoins. This is just the basic economic cycle of cryptocurrency

At some point yes, some altcoins depends on bitcoin price while others do not rely on what price bitcoin is heading to.  Example is bnb , bitcoin drops ,bnb goes up.

That's because the BNB has a good moment even though bitcoin down they can still make all investors buy it. the moment the IEO event also helped the BNB to be strong even though bitcoin dropped. if altcoin wants to grow it looks like they have to see how BNB make their own pumps.

I will say the cryptocurrency is always different from each and every currency if Bitcoin was dropping or increasing then it will not definitely effect to the other cryptocurrency that's why it all about people how they are supporting the each and every currency will decide how it is going on.

I don't think it's a problem if you put it on an altcoin but choose a potential altcoin. maybe like ethereum and BNB. although actually choosing bitcoin remains one of the best and potential coins

yes, absolutely right
sometimes a solid altcoins project with strong team and huge community such as BNB will growing even if the price of bitcoin falling

[Duzter]

Right now the market of altcoins fell low when there is growth with the bitcoin value. Now as the price has fallen, the altcoins have fallen further, but the dominance level of bitcoin and altcoins were almost the same without much difference over the price variation and marketcap that contribute to the dominance and the price.

If bitcoin drops its value, then the alts would definitely follow, this is the game of crypto and alts, because all those alts is paired with btc, and so, when the bitcoin drops, alts will also drops, its not a bad thing, but we have to learn to adapt the right method to earn money.

Unfortunately, altcoin react to a fall in Btc. They also fall in price. And moreover, on its growth, they do not react so effectively with growth. They are more sensitive to his fall.

this might be because when bitcoin falls a lot of people save their money on stable assets. it will be better, isn't it? not on altcoin assets. that makes the adoption of the altcoin trade also has no effect even though bitcoin is down.
I can only hope that at the next pump altcoin will get a moment to participate in the pump.

What we have seen so far, has the same pattern as happened two years ago. Most altcoins don't react positively to what happens with bitcoin. Investors are still waiting for the right moment to "enter" the market as further investment

is it like that? isn't the market two years ago moving in balance. the growth of bitcoin and altcoin happens together. This market event seems to be different from the market conditions that have already occurred. this is a new trend.
