Why Altcoins Drop Harder When Bitcoin Pulls Back
When Bitcoin makes even a small correction, altcoins often fall much more aggressively.
Altcoins are more volatile, so a 2–3% BTC drop can turn into a 5–15% decline in many alts. High leverage in alt markets also triggers cascading liquidations. During uncertainty, capital rotates back to Bitcoin or stablecoins.
Bitcoin sets the direction.
Altcoins amplify the move.
Manage risk. Control leverage.
