Back over $6000 for the first time since November!
I am still afraid that we are going to see an intense fall of the price shortly.
There is a good increase in the price of bitcoins but not in the alts. Meaning that investors are afraid of buying alts for some reason or they want an alternative of cashing out fast.
I wouldn't be surprised to see it fall back to the most recent bit of support at like $5800 or so. I think that'd be very healthy. It looks a bit to steep an upward climb these past 10 days or so. But thats just basic building support as it rises higher, nothing scary about that.
Bitcoin is the big fish. Right now money is flowing into the obvious thing: bitcoin, and some money is flowing from alts into bitcoin. Sometimes alts follow bitcoin gains, sometimes bitcoin sucks money from alts as everyone tries to take advantage of the strength of bitcoin, and sometimes money flows from bitcoin into alts. Right now we are seeing the strength of bitcoin and people moving money from alts to bitcoin to get some of those profits - nothing wrong with that.
Also I have long believed that this bull market will see bitcoin take back some of the market dominance that it lost in 2017 because as big money starts to move into the crypto-space most of that money is going to focus on bitcoin. Wall St for the most part isn't going to be creating financial products around random altcoins, probably 90% of their products are going to be around Bitcoin, and maybe Ethereum to a far lesser extent. This is going to exacerbate Bitcoin's dominance. Also I'm not sure there will be such a powerful altcoin propellant as the ICO craze during this bull run. So whereas 2017 saw Bitcoin's marketshare be in the 30%'s, 40%'s, 50%'s as normal, I think this bull run could very well see its marketshare mostly stay in the 50's, 60's, and 70's.
Anyway, I'm sure alts will start getting more of the pie as this bull market continues. They did get a huge pump after bitcoin broke out of the bottom and started the bull market to start April, but then people realized that Bitcoin is gonna start moving up in the bull market so that money flowed into bitcoin.
