Yes, exactly, when all the crypto market goes down, all the altcoins have the same pattern, since most of the olders are selling at that time because of FUD.
So yes, it is normal to see altcoins following bitcoin's pattern.
Trying to sell some coins with high gains to buy some that has dipped alot, but it seems they all move up and down together for the most part. This makes it hard to sell. Is this how it normally is? Been trading just a month now.
