Comparing the current market movement to that of 2017, it's kind of synonymous and a pointer to the start of bull run. Although some parameters differs and will have impact on this current one (if so) which might limit the longetivity and price impact and people might be carried away till the reverse begins to happen.
Please share your views if this is the bull run we are waiting for and how long should we expect it to last?
As soon as Bitcoin's decline subsides, it is certain that some Altcoins have started to move up. Like Aave, which has seen gains in recent weeks, and some following a reversal of direction.
The truth is that all altocoins are priced dependent on Bitcoin. If the charts of some of them differ from the BTC chart, it is usually very short lived. Bitcoin will continue to set the trend, and I am afraid that we will have to wait at least a few more weeks or even months for the next real bull run.
