Why is Ethereum price action still influenced by BTC even after decoupling?

My thought after decoupling was that ETH will fly solo impacted by it's utility and the general market sentiment largely influence by BTC.

So, if ETH was suppose to fly solo then why did it go up when Bitcoin went up? 
How is this decoupling going to work if you want only the rise to be coupled only one way?

As for "utility", we've heard this for 5 years already and it didn't help one bit till, surprise, Bitcoin got a boost!

This terrible!! How can a network with all these problems and outages outperform Ethereum, it is impossible.

I have a better one, how can a coin that was successfully 51% attacked and had its chain re-written 5 times still be worth $4 billion and be ranked 25th  by market cap? A lot underestimate the amount of "investors" that care about technicalities or any other thing and more about the price ticker, the huge percentage that buys coins just because of the name and forget about them for months.

Thats not the point, everyone thinks that there is an answer to this question and trying to answer it but the reality is that the question is wrong, so you can't ever give a correct answer to a wrong question. There is no decoupling, bitcoin and ethereum (and everything else) is still connected to each other and I believe that it will be for a long long time. This means that we are going to see them move together as well, that won't really change anything, we should just let it be and consider this as quite a possible situation. I understand it may not feel that way at times, but it is very much connected like I mentioned.

Bitcoin will always be coupled with other coins because it's the fundamental of all the coins that we have in the market. If you look at ethereum since the beginning of the is year, there has been a comparison between it and Bitcoin, some are saying it will be the next Bitcoin and this are the things that make people still give priority to Bitcoin before they make decision on Bitcoin. If Bitcoin has a shakedown, Ethereum and other coins do the same thing and this is why they move along and it can't be broken as long other altcoins can stand alone as fundamental coin without not been compare.

The was expected to be a game changer but i think we seeing the opposite or perhaps there some info i am mising?

One of the reasons why Ethereum has always followed Bitcoin's performance so far is because of market sentiment. Historically, the price of Ethereum will also follow the price movements of Bitcoin, for a long time, because they have a strong correlation in the market and also the sentiment of its investors. Let's just analyze it, every time Bitcoin goes up, ETH will also follow, and so is the case, when Bitcoin suddenly drops drastically, then so will Ethereum. Both of them are cryptocurrencies that are quite close and full of investor sentiment in the market, which has a strong correlation with each other.

Anything below Bitcoin or shall we say all of those coins underneath would really be having that kind of alignment or something that they do depend on Bitcoins trend on the market.
Yes, these coins could really stand on their own basing up on the utility or whatever that it do offers, but we do know that they would really be just that always behind on Bitcoin when it comes to market condition and trend. If it turns out to be bearish then majority of coins would be falling next in line and this has been always the condition that we are really that seeing in the market.
