I don't like to comment on price but I do think all alts have taken a hit from bitcoin. All altcoin exchange volumes are down too. Look at coinmarketcap, lots of altcoins hurt by BTC movement.

In any case you might want to also follow the ClearingHouse thread to see other things which are going on, and dont forget to check the blog at blog.viacoin.org regularly. The Blockchain Notary is now more is less completed and it will take some time to get the "marketing" material ready.
