Across the crypto market, there\u2019s extreme pain, fear, uncertainty, and doubt. Bitcoin is pulling back from recent highs, and altcoins like Ethereum<\/a>, Ripple<\/a>, and others have only bled out and fallen deeper to new lows.<\/span><\/p>\n

And while most crypto investors believe there is more pain to come for the altcoin market<\/a>, Bitcoin and alts recently showing correlation again could be the catalyst necessary for alts to finally find their bottom, bounce, and provide crypto investors with the \u201calt season\u201d the entire market has been waiting for.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dump Factor: Bitcoin and Altcoins Once Again Show Correlation<\/span><\/h2>\n

At the start of April, an over $1,000 green candle took Bitcoin out of its bear market depths and its never so much as glanced in the rear-view mirror. At that time, the once tightly correlated altcoin market \u2013 including Ethereum<\/a>, Ripple<\/a>, and others\u00a0\u2013 diverged from Bitcoin<\/a>, and crashed deeper with each rise in Bitcoin price and BTC dominance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Much of Bitcoin\u2019s rally may have been driven by crypto investors selling altcoins into Bitcoin fearing missing out on the king of crypto\u2019s next bull run. The last one took Bitcoin to $20,000 from $10,000 in a matter of a month, so crypto investors know that once the first-ever crypto takes off once again, there may be no stopping it.<\/span><\/p>\n

But now that Bitcoin is pulling back, and struggling to maintain support above $10,000, altcoins have once again started showing a correlation \u2013 but a negative one. Alts like Ethereum and Ripple are dropping alongside Bitcoin for the first time since April. Since then, when Bitcoin rose, alts dropped in their ratio.<\/span><\/p>\n

Maybe just maybe this is what we're starting to see right now.
As long as BTC and alts dump together I'm not sad to see both of them doing so.
