BTC.D Has been on a steady climb the past few weeks. As BTC has been consolidating, most alts have been bleeding lower. There has not been any strong narrative in a while, and the previously strong coins that rallied a lot have come down -30% to -50%. Alts are amazing during upwards momentum but BTC remains the king when there's uncertainty in the air. That's why as well as altcoin selection, your timing on them has to be on point as well.
