Despite the rise over the past month, altcoins are still very low. Altcoin price increases aren't solely dependent on BTC's rise; they also seem to depend on dominance. If BTC's dominance decreases simultaneously with its rise, altcoins will likely increase. Fortunately, the US wants to lower the value of the dollar, which I believe will positively impact BTC. I don't plan to exit without making a profit; I'm continuing to wait without making new purchases.
