Should I start buying alts now? Bitcoin seems like it stabilized but it can go up anytime to $8k is what I worry about. There's still about 2 weeks until the fork, what can I expect?
If you want to accumulate then buy some now, some after the fork.
Alts have been down recently and you always buy when it is down. Never when it is going up in a parabolic way. Honestly, it'll depend on which altcoin you are looking to purchase. Just alts in general is way too broad.
But i've certainly accumulated some of my favorite coins when btc rose like 20% in 3 days and alts went the opposite direction. Right now price is bouncing back up.
