With BTC dominance increasing (around 42% now), I think we can expect alts to catch up soon.

Usually, the trend after a major correction is BTC dominance rising, then major alts catch up, and the lower alts follow. Times are good for a while before the market goes through another correction, and the cycle continues

That might have been the pattern in the past, but aren't the markets more unpredictable than that? For example, mid year 2017, btc went up, alts followed. It wasn't until the fork shenanigans that btc went up on it's own and people sold alts to ride the wave. After than, btc had a huge 30% correction at the end of the year, BUT alts went 5-10x. Then btc crashed and everything crashed in Jan. These 3 varying patterns happened within the same year and suggests that the market is fairly unpredictable.

Now, we have been in a bear market for 3 months, it seems that if we have no way of going up (notice the low volume across exchanges; not very encouraging), we would have months of drought again. Now this would be a 6 month bear market which rarely happens if you're not counting the exodus in 2013. But it's the only new pattern we can have so far, and is the likelier one to happen.
