It all depends on the news. If it will be great news in cryptosphere - it will be bull-run. Also, crypto - very promising technology, and the future of it will be bright.
I dont think so because in 2017 the demand for bitcoin was very high and so for other coins and in this year there is no or very little demand for cryptocurrency, therefore the price is not increasing. It is obvious that when people demand more for crypto the price will also rise. When bitcoin rises, Altcoin automatically rises because bitcoin is the mother of all other coins.
