Altcoins are underperforming during this rally higher.
Ethereum has only gained 3% in the past 24 hours, underperforming Bitcoin’s rally. This has been a large trend of the past year, with BTC strongly outperforming altcoins as it sucks the air out of the altcoin market.
This may largely be due to the composition of investors that are entering the cryptocurrency market. Where retail investors often push altcoins higher, institutional players are focusing their efforts on Bitcoin.
