My opinion is simply that a lot of people are dumping to get on the BTC train. If BTC should hit a major correction I am guessing that HXT and other alts will moon. If BTC does not hit a correction before the 25th then I would expect to see a sizeable increase in HXT on the 24th/25th as people jump in for the gold
BTC price will keep increasing on december.
reason is that so many BTC hard forks on december and early january so I think people will buy and hold BTC for "free" coins
