Bitcoin's market movement is a barometer for the broader altcoin ecosystem—when BTC shifts, most top tokens follow suit. Here's a concrete example: back on December 16th, I shared three entry points for Ethereum with the community. Within days, ETH rallied from $2,850 to $3,240, capturing roughly a 13% gain. The correlation between Bitcoin's trajectory and these altcoin moves isn't coincidental—it's fundamental market structure. Whether you're tracking BTC, ETH, LUNC, or other major assets, understanding Bitcoin's directional bias remains essential for timing your trades.

Doesn't this mean Bitcoin is setting the pace? I already knew.

BTC moves, and the whole market reacts. That's the reality... That wave of ETH was indeed impressive; a 13% increase isn't small.

BTC moves everything else moves; this is the fundamental principle that newcomers to the space should understand.

When BTC moves, everything moves. That's common sense. The question is, when is the right time to move?

BTC moves together with the market; I've seen through this trick long ago.

BTC moves, and everyone follows. This is the fate of the retail investors.

Bitcoin moves, the whole market follows, and this time it was right again... BTC is the ruler, and other coins are just like that. The ETH surge in December was indeed fierce, and those who chased made a killing. The market still depends on the big brother’s mood and actions. Following the trend to make money, going against the trend to lose money, it's that simple. BTC has risen, where can other coins go, really? Those who understand the market have long placed their bets on Bitcoin's movements.
