Bitcoin’s grasp on altcoins
On June 7, Bitcoin (BTC) price dipped nearly 2%, causing many altcoins to shed close to double-digits, while some went overboard.

The worst-case scenario would include both the aforementioned events occurring simultaneously. Either way, investors need to be cautious until BTC stabilizes or provides a directional bias.
