Bitcoin is positive but alts coin negative but why

When Bitcoin (BTC) is rising while altcoins (alternative cryptocurrencies) are falling or stagnating, it's often due to several key factors:

1. Risk Appetite & Market Sentiment

Bitcoin is seen as the "safe haven" of crypto, similar to gold in traditional markets.

When traders are uncertain (due to macroeconomic fears, regulatory concerns, or market volatility), they often move funds from altcoins into Bitcoin.

If Bitcoin rises due to institutional buying (e.g., ETF inflows), but retail traders remain cautious, altcoins may lag.
