Part of it has to do with it being a self-fulfilling prophecy. It's happened so frequently like clockwork that the moment it looks like BTC is about to make a move traders will ditch their alts to avoid being down 20-30% in BTC. This ends up triggering stop losses on everyone, bringing alts down even further, and since much of trading is down with bots this is a cascade effect that happens simultaneously.
