It is your choice to enter BTC war to get 10% to 20% profit or to use your BTC to douple it with Altcoin in a smart way .
with any rise of Bitcoin other Altcoin price decrease , that is logical if we consider BTC to Altcoin price but why dollar $ to Altcoin price also go down , that i think because most people sell all their altcoin and purchase BTC in hope to get like 5% to 10% profit the other reason is that all BTC holder continue to hold and most day trade go to BTC armed with all their saving and overall volume for Altcoin go down also .
In this days chance appear for investor and swing trader because simply they buy Altcoin with lowest price possible ( some time half its price ) without any noticeable competition thank for BTC chaser , and when BTC settle and start to hover between new support and resistant same Altcoin price rise again first because it been sold cheaper and second BTC rise gave Altcoin value indirectly , it will automatically regain its BTC to Altcoin price .
WArning : With day trading it is totally different you should follow the trend and sync with it .
Because of my work nature mainly i am investing and do long swing trade in crypto and this is my humble opinion to not follow the crowd in that , when people sell a lot i do my research to find a good reason to buy .
So what am doing now is trying to Buy Altcoin in lowest price possible and i did that with 25% of my BTC so far :)
