Bitcoins are manipulating by other people that's why the altcoins didn't pumped also and we know that bitcoins are more profitable than altcoins. Some altcoins have potential and pumping also. And those are whales probably they called them whales who are manipulating crypto currency in the market.
I do agree that whales are price manipulators but they are also the reason why the market price are pumping so hard just like what happened last december before the year ends.
