I believe the massive sell off in BTC was caused due to people pouring money in BCH to get free coins from its fork. BCH was also being dumped as we know there was quarel about BCH fork and most of the BCH non-believers were dumping it. As result of decline in price of BTC, many other alts crashed too. Anyways i think the price should move above 6000$ shortly after the fork.
