Bitcoin has been living up to its title of ‘king coin’ lately after most of the market’s altcoins followed the same pattern as BTC, post the 12 March crash. Like Bitcoin, these alts are now recovering, with most maintaining steady support levels while trying to breach their resistances. However, despite everything, the speed of recovery may be lending credence to the notion of whether Bitcoin might be getting outperformed by altcoins this year.
