What happened to the pump last night? Just keeps going down.

I think, given the MtGox situation which became official, there is a pull from altcoins to BTC as a salvage operation. It's possible that some investors only have BTCs which were in altcoins as part of their diversification, and perhaps, these invested BTCs were the only thing they've got right now.

The following is from coinmarketcap relative to BTC

3    Litecoin   631,544 BTC   0.02418 BTC   26,122,054 LTC   10,567 BTC   -4.46 %

Those percentages are all relative to USD.

Numerous people have asked to peg those percentages to BTC when viewing the site in BTC mode. The coinmarketcap.com site editor said he will fix it soon.

I think that would only affect coins which are actually traded in USD, like Litecoin which is a bit off at 0.02418, not coins traded exclusively in BTC as the USD calculation itself is based on the btc:altcoin ratio. Dividing and then multiplying by the same amount (to BTC => to USD => to BTC) gives the same result, so...?
