Coins in the market are correlated with bitcoin, which is very radical because it has appeared many times in practice. In 2017 after bitcoin dropped ETH hit ATH because the ICO residual was still there, so the demand for ETH at that time was huge, it surpassed bitcoin's influence on the market at that time.
Since when has this become a radical pattern? When did you enter into crypto anyway? From the sounds of it, not many years at all,,, 2017 if you were really in, then you will remember that it took Bitcoin to go on that crazy rally and then finally hit ATH first before ETH also moved on that wave.
Alts have always been correlated in a big way to Bitcoin, so what are you talking about? Surpassing influence of Bitcoin? You do know the flippening never happened right?
I guess you both write about the same thing, just use different words to say it.
So let's agree - the price of Bitcoin has always been linked to the prices of other cryptocurrencies.
Regarding the period when BTC and ETH reached their ATH, I think both of these currencies had a positive impact on each other. Bitcoin, due to its popularity in the mainstream media, and Ethereum, due to the ICO bubble. Both of these coins interacted very strongly, which meant that both prices just started skyrocketing.
