one month ago thsi price was a nightmare now bitcoin @ 8200 everyone is happy and expecting a big move on bitcoin price
Until Bitcoin actually closes above $11800, we are still in a bear market.
It's very odd that alts are going up like crazy but bitcoin is lagging behind. Usually it's the opposite happening.
When someone buys an alt they usually buy it directly with fiat, so there is no btc exchanges unless it's an alt which doesn't have a usd trading pair.
Altcoin are still below price compared to previous one, they are increasing because with the increase in price of Bitcoin only, already the market cap is kept increasing that's why all altcoin price are increasing slowly. Still, there is long way to go to increase their prices.
