Interestingly when BTC is moving quickly the smaller alt coins tend to drop from what I've noticed. When BTC is moving up methodically then the alt coins start skyrocketing. When BTC is falling even in small bits the alt coins follow suite with a multiplier effect. Until we can buy alt coins without needing BTC as the anchor it remains annoying.

Either way I'm looking forward to the next bull run for sure :) just uncertainty about how the fork is going to impact things come August 1, assuming it goes off without issue.
