- Bitcoin stays above $6,000, but the upside has stalled.
- Litecoin’s founder comes out with encouraging tweets.
Bitcoin is changing hands at $6,150, mostly unchanged since the start of the day. The upside correction from Sunday’s low is losing traction on approach to technically important levels. Obviously, the market is in desperate need of some positive news, that will serve as a signal for hibernating crypto bulls.

“I have not seen so much hate towards one another on crypto Twitter since I first started tweeting. I realize the bear is giving us a beating, but this is what makes us stronger in the long run. And this is what “blood in the streets” look like,” Charlie Lee wrote in his Twitter account
