hello friend,
in 2017 I was very happy when I saw the price of Bitcoin increase in coinmarketcap because when the price of Bitcoin increases, then the price of Altcoin will immediately increase too, but for now when the price of Bitcoin increases and it does not affect for the prices of Altcoin (even still down), then when the price of Bitcoin goes down and at that time the price of Altcoin will go down too, so I do not understand the current state of the market and what is happening right now.
As we all know way back year 2017 bitcoin increase it's price and it is beyond on our expectations, but when the year 2018 comes the price of the bitcoin decreases and it dump. As we see right no altcoins and bitcoins becomes different in the way of increasing and decreasing its price and volume. That is happening right now so in order to survive on this current situation we must study and know what is happening right now in the market.
This market fluctuation is really affecting emotions of most investors from both alts and bitcoin. Traders who wanted to break even or cut their loses from the last position that they've got stuck with are trying to sell after seeing good value of bitcoin. While with alts, the diversion is not an option, instead liquidating assets to exit up from the alt investment is being performed.
Observe and learn how things will turn out in the following years, it will give ideas on how to treat the next strategy from your investment.
