Why Do Most Cryptocurrencies Drop When Bitcoin Drops?
When Bitcoin’s price drops, many other cryptocurrencies tend to fall as well. This is due to several interconnected reasons related to market structure, investor behavior, and the overall crypto economy. Here are the key reasons:
⸻
1. Bitcoin is the Market Leader • Bitcoin is the first and largest cryptocurrency by market cap. • It’s considered the main indicator of the health of the entire crypto market. • When Bitcoin drops, many investors interpret it as a sign of a bearish or risky market and begin selling other coins.
⸻
2. Psychological and Behavioral Impact (Market Sentiment) • The crypto market is highly sensitive to news and investor emotions. • When Bitcoin falls, fear spreads quickly. Investors often panic and start selling altcoins too, leading to a broader market decline.
⸻
3. Bitcoin is a Major Trading Pair Base • Most cryptocurrencies are traded against Bitcoin (e.g., ETH/BTC, ADA/BTC). • If Bitcoin’s price drops, the value of these trading pairs is affected, causing altcoin prices to fall in BTC and USD terms.
⸻
4. Capital Flows Exit the Market • When Bitcoin falls sharply, large investors (whales and institutions) often move their money into stablecoins (like USDT) or cash out entirely. • This reduces liquidity and selling pressure increases on altcoins, pushing prices down.
⸻
5. Bitcoin is Seen as the Most Reliable Asset • During market panic, investors shift to Bitcoin or stablecoins, which are seen as safer. • This means selling altcoins, which causes their prices to drop even more.
⸻
6. Technical Correlation • Many technical indicators (like moving averages and RSI) follow Bitcoin’s price movements. • If Bitcoin breaks a key support level, other coins tend to follow similar patterns technically.
📊 Quick Comparison: SHIB 🐶 vs PEPE 🐸 – Which Meme Coin Wins?
🔹 SHIBA INU (SHIB): • Started as a joke, but evolved into a full ecosystem. • Now features its own Layer 2 network (Shibarium), with projects in Metaverse, NFTs, and DeFi. • Regular token burns + strong and active community.
🔹 PEPE: • Based on the famous internet meme, went viral quickly. • No clear roadmap or real-world utility (yet). • Driven mostly by hype and market trends.
🔥 Which is Better? • SHIB = Long-term potential, solid development behind it. • PEPE = Short-term hype, higher risk, but can explode fast.
💬 What do you think? Are you with #SHIBARMY 🔥 or #PEPEARMY 🐸? Or is the meme season over? 👀
Lots of posts say $PEPE will be up to $1. I want that too, but seriously, if #PEPE reaches $1, the market value will be 420 trillion; If #PEPE is $0.1, the market value will be 42 trillion; If #PEPE is $0.01, the market value will be 4.2 trillion; If #PEPE reaches $0.001, the market value will be 420 billion.#PEPE
$PEPE vs $SHIB vs $DOGE – Who sits on the meme throne? 🐸🐶🔥
It all started as a joke… and today its market value is in the billions 💸 But has the time for jokes ended? Or is there still a chance? 🤔
🔍 A quick comparison between the meme giants:
Currency Origin Goal Support Upcoming Opportunities $DOGE The first meme coin 🥇 Strong community but no real development Support from Elon Musk 🚀 If adopted by X, it could explode $SHIB “The Dog Killer” Strong development (Shibarium) Huge community 🔥 A complete project, not just a meme $PEPE The newest and cheapest 🐸 Just a meme with no utility An amazing community movement 💥 High risk = high reward?
⸻
📊 My opinion? • $DOGE is the most suitable for relative stability. • $SHIB is the best for long-term meme investment. • $PEPE is riskier and faster, but needs close tracking.
💬 You, which one do you prefer? And why? Do you not think the meme era has ended?
The $AR currency is one of the most underrated projects I see in the market right now, despite its revolutionary idea!
🔐 What is Arweave? A permanent decentralized data storage network. Imagine you upload a file or a website and it stays saved forever 🔁 on a distributed network – without censorship or deletion.
📌 Why should I monitor it? 1. Its project directly serves artificial intelligence and Web3. 2. It is used by the Lens protocol + NFT platforms for data storage. 3. The currency supply is very limited (only 66 million).
📉 Its current price is low compared to the peak in 2021 (when it reached over $85).
📊 My predictions? In the case of a Web3 revival, we might see $AR easily surpass 50$ in the long term.
🧠 Do you think $AR will compete with storage projects like $FIL and $STORJ? Or do you see its idea as bigger than just storage?
I know that many people have forgotten $VET, but those who follow know that the project is working quietly… and strongly 💥
🔍 Why am I currently monitoring $VET? 1. Strong partnerships with logistics and medical companies (such as BMW and DNV). 2. Real-world usage in tracking products and supply chains – not just promises. 3. Fast network with almost zero cost, especially with $VTHO used as Gas.
⚠️ Note: This is my personal opinion and not investment advice.

📢 Is $SUI an underrated currency? Here’s my personal opinion👇
Everyone is talking about $ETH, $ARB, and $SOL , but few are talking about $SUI 🔥 A currency with a very strong project and using Move technology, backed by major investors and currently priced low.
💡 Here are 3 reasons why I’m currently watching $SUI: 1. Its blockchain is faster than $SOL and $ETH in terms of transaction speed. 2. Huge funding in early stages and actual partnerships. 3. Its current price does not reflect its true value, especially if a bull market begins.
(Not financial advice – just sharing thoughts)
👀 Your opinion matters to me! Are you an investor in $SUI? Or do you think $ARB or $LINK are better opportunities right now? #العملات_الرقمية $SOL #Currency_Analysis #SUI #Binance #Cryptocurrencies #SUI🔥 #ARB #LINK. #ETH
