For the last hours Bitcoin traded relatively consistent around $8000 which may mean the level is tested right now.
Sometimes I think all I have to do is to post an article on Steemit about how boring the weekend is (without any pump and dump, that is) and the market will react.
Joke aside, this rise is interesting because it doesn't seem to come at the expense of the alts (the majority of alts are in green) which may mean the appreciation is generated by value from outside the crypto ecosystem, (not with the usual swing alt-Bitcoin/Bitcoin-alt).
