how can you trade alt coin with bitcoin as the main market when the value of bitcoin is changing

on exchanges such as bittrex, a lot of the alt coins only have a bitcoin market.

how can you go about trading as normal when your trying to make bitcoin even though the bitcoin value is changing all the time, would this not interfere?

for example, there was a dip in komodo, which on bittrex only has a bitcoin market. so i placed a sell order for when it gets higher in value. but if bitcoin were to drop in value, wouldnt the sell order go through?

i dont see how bitcoin can be the main thing, i thought the idea was for people to buy and sell around usd for example.

can anyone explain this to me better. thanks
