Normally, when $BTC makes a high, alt coins follow. However, it is important that there is some consolidation.

A stable BTC is what unlocks liquidity for altcoins, as traders rotate profits and the BTC dominance starts to decline. Without that pause, the focus stays on Bitcoin, leaving alts struggling to gain traction. The real moves in altcoins come when Bitcoin cools off and the market finds its balance. Timing is everything.
