The BTC whales seem to be creating maximum damage to the altcoins with this volatile pattern. This was to be expected it has been their MO for years. The alts are getting stickier although and less panicky, soon the whole market will move up probably, because BTC is showing extreme support in the 18k region now.

volume is really high, this says there is a resistance but there are also whales loading up tons of BTC.
Comment:
The last dump created many support levels, 16k, 16.6k, 17.2k, 18k and now 18.5k. It will be much harder to reverse the trend now, because the dump failed more than ever before.
