Hello @cryptographic,
There are no doubt, BTC rally 1st & other following it's trail. It's what happened previously & it's what'll happen in future too. World hates BTC, due to it's the place which decide where crypto currency market headed to. Extraordinary good article & incredible chart analysis with few main competitors of BTC.
And, with time, all the current negative market sentiment will eventually turn positive again. Patience is the word.
