📈 #Bitcoin ended Sunday jumping to $49.4k, as #altcoins dominate. Commentary toward $BTC right now, however, is actually more negative & sparse than usual. When #crypto's top coin is doubted and overlooked, this historically pushes prices further north. https://t.co/4QcKuKEPbK pic.twitter.com/QXa5SQuec2
