The prices of basically all altcoins follows that of Bitcoin's. So generally when Bitcoin goes up, so do altcoins', when it drops, so do altcoins'. This is generally because altcoins are primarily used as a way for people to get more Bitcoin.

May be there is no relation because correlation does not imply causation. However, I am not an expert.
