Rise

Bitcoin’s price recovery continues as the asset flew past $60,000 and neared $63,000 for the first time since the weekend.
The altcoins have also turned green once again. This time, Ethereum leads the pack with a notable 10% surge.

CryptoPotato reported the market-wide crash that transpired at the end of last week and especially on Monday, in which BTC’s price <a href="https://cryptopotato.com/3-possible-reasons-behind-bitcoins-10000-weekly-price-dump/" data-wpel-link="internal" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">tumbled</a> from over $66,000 to a 6-month low of $49,500 within the span of just a few days.
However, the asset started to recover almost immediately. It jumped to $53,000 on Tuesday and climbed to over $57,000 by Wednesday. After a <a href="https://cryptopotato.com/ripple-xrp-skyrockets-by-double-digits-bitcoin-btc-calms-at-57k-market-watch/" data-wpel-link="internal" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">minor retracement</a> on Thursday, the bulls stepped up on the gas pedal earlier today once again.
As a result, bitcoin skyrocketed to over $60,000 but kept going up. This culminated in <a href="https://cryptopotato.com/bitcoin-soared-to-almost-63000-following-death-cross-rally/" data-wpel-link="internal" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">nearing $63,000</a> for the first time since last Saturday. Despite failing to maintain that rally and retracing slightly, the cryptocurrency is still more than 6.5% up on the day and sits around $61,000.
Its market capitalization has managed to reclaim the $1.2 trillion level, while its dominance over the alts has risen to 53.9%.

<h2 id="eth-on-the-rise">ETH on the Rise</h2>
Ethereum’s native token was among the poorest performers during the recent crash. It came inches away from breaking below $2,000. However, ETH has bounced off nicely in the following days. The past 24 hours alone have been quite beneficial for it as it has added more than 10% of value and now trades well above $2,600.
DOGE, SHIB, and AVAX are the other notable gainers from the larger-cap alts. In contrast, XRP has retraced slightly after the <a href="https://cryptopotato.com/how-high-can-ripples-xrp-price-go-after-the-125-million-fine-top-analyst-predictions/" data-wpel-link="internal" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">massive surge</a> experienced following the $125 million fine slapped by a US judge regarding Ripple’s legal battle against the SEC.
Most other larger- and mid-cap alts are also in the green, which has helped the total market cap rise to $2.234 trillion on CG.
