Bitcoin reclaims $70K in relief rally as crypto, stocks and metals bounce

Bitcoin surged more than 11% by midday Friday, reclaiming the $70,000 level after experiencing its steepest single-day drop since the FTX collapse, which saw it dip below $60,000 on Thursday. The recovery was widespread across the crypto market, with Ethereum climbing back above $2,000, Solana recovering to $86, and XRP rallying 22% to $1.50. Crypto-exposed equities also bounced significantly; for instance, Strategy shares jumped over 21% despite a recent $12.4 billion quarterly loss announcement. Traditional markets mirrored the trend, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq both up around 1.5%. Commodities like gold and silver also staged a recovery. However, some analysts cautioned that this might only be a short-lived relief rally due to ongoing macroeconomic headwinds, advising caution before the next trading week.
