Funny you asked that question. Why look elsewhere when every coin out there is doing the tango with bitcoin? Once bitcoin falls, everything else falls in the cryptoworld too.
Yes, and seems all cryptos are connected. You've notice that in trading all altcoins are peg in bitcoin so yeah, when one falls possible same with most of the alts. There is a time that bitcoin and ethereum are inversely proportional to each other when Bitcoin goes down, eth goes up but that is not always the case.
