SOL and SHIB Surge 12%, Bitcoin Reclaims $62K

While bitcoin has reclaimed $62,000 after another nosedive yesterday, Solana and Shiba Inu have jumped by 12%.

After another price dip below $60,000, bitcoin went on the offensive again and surged to $62,000. Some altcoins, such as Polkadot, Solana, and Shiba Inu, have also charted impressive 24-hour gains, and SOL has even neared its ATH.

Bitcoin Reclaims $60K

The past few days didn’t go all that well for the primary cryptocurrency, even though it managed to recover from Thursday’s sudden crash to $58,500 almost immediately.

It jumped above $62,000 at the time and even tried its hand at $63,000 a day later but to no avail. The bulls intercepted the move and pushed it south, which resulted in a drop to $60,000 on Sunday.

Bitcoin even dropped below that coveted line to an intraday low of $59,500 hours ago. However, the bulls stepped up at this moment and drove the cryptocurrency up. BTC added nearly $3,000 of value and touched $62,500 before retracing slightly to its current level of around $62,000.

Bitcoin’s market capitalization has returned above $1.150 trillion, while the dominance over the altcoins stands still at 44%.
