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.
It's Ethereum that is increasing hard and we are seeing a consistent increase of some altcoins as well.
During the bear market, the price was really down, now they have only recovered.
