After a brutal week that saw Bitcoin fall to a multi-month low of nearly $78,000 early Thursday, there’s finally good news: BTC is up by about 8% since bottoming out overnight, coming close to hitting $85,000 on Friday afternoon.
Other major assets are starting to claw back gains, too, with Solana leading the pack among the top 10 coins with a 15% jump since its late Thursday bottom. Solana’s spike appears to be tied in part to CME Group announcing plans to launch Solana futures—a development that could be key to future Solana ETF approvals.
But while there’s some welcome green on the charts after days of pain, experts caution getting too excited—particularly after President Trump clashed with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the White House on Friday.
“Broader risk sentiment remains fragile, and the renewed pullback aligns with weakness across equities and other risk assets following the geopolitical uncertainty out of Washington,” BitBull CEO Joe DiPasquale told Decrypt. “While BTC has shown relative strength, macro-driven volatility is likely to persist in the near term.”
