Yes if you pull that same chart I suggested all the way back to March you can tell that from the early times this year Bitcoin was treated almost as an alt. My theory is that because all of the new money coming in didn't really see Bitcoin as anything else other than just another crypto.
Later on in the year you start to see the inverse relations as one would expect if Bitcoin Rose in USD value your alt would drop in Bitcoin value yet still slowly appreciate if you looked at it in USD.
