BTC and ETH Follow the Leader (of the moment)

Long
BITSTAMP:BTCUSD   Bitcoin
I was holding ETH and saw BTC take off so rotated most into BTC. Worked well for a week or two, but long term it caused me to miss much of the 400 - 1000 rise in ETH. Wondered if this was just how this coin pair played out so I exchanged STR and then OMC for ETH in this graph and saw the same pattern. i.e., success came in searching for lagging coins and catching the "make-up". Realize this is only 3 coins, so will check many more. Realize all three of these coins totally established, so maybe only applies to large cap market leaders, but interesting. Would welcome comments if this is a valid strategy to pursue and recommendations how best to pursue it.
