Bitcoin had another positive weekend in which its price recovered from a slump toward $67,000 and spiked to almost $70,000 on Monday morning for the first time in nearly seven weeks.

The altcoins are also well in the green, with ETH erasing almost all losses after the ETF launch, while BCH has soared to $450.

BTC Aims at $70K

The previous business week didnt go all that well for bitcoin as the asset slumped from about $68,000 to under $63,500 by Thursday. That became a weekly low, but the bulls were quick to intercept the move and prevent further losses.

Just the opposite, the cryptocurrency started to regain traction almost immediately and jumped by several grand within the next day. The weekend was also expected to be volatile due to the Nashville 2024 Bitcoin Conference and Donald Trumps speech there.

Once he made some big promises, including the potential firing of Gary Gensler, BTC indeed went on a rollercoaster from $68,000 to $69,000 and back down to $67,000 within minutes.
