Maybe the market as a whole has problems right now, we should not look at every altcoin, eth or bitcoin's state on why their price is declining. Because in our country, also the Stock markets have gone bearish in these past few months so I think the world is having financial or economic problems that's so minor to be noticed, but nothing escapes the graphs no matter how minor it is.
The market as a whole is definitely in a downtrend with no exception and we all know very well that bitcoin is the main driving factor in this whole equation. The instability of bitcoin and in the verge of trying to find a direction, this keeps suppressing the value of the altcoins from rising.
I think it is obvious that the altcoins have been trying to gain some momentum with the hope of a favorable condition to rise, but certainly it is not happening because it is not palatable enough for the market to move without traders quickly selling off once the market starts taking a different shape.
