Bitcoin rebounded above the $60,000 level on Thursday, rising 3% to $60,304 as investors awaited U.S. payrolls data for signals on Federal Reserve policy direction. The recovery comes after a prolonged selloff driven by persistent outflows from U.S. spot crypto ETFs and weakening risk appetite.
Despite the bounce, Bitcoin remains under significant pressure, having fallen more than 30% in the first half of 2026, marking one of its weakest first-half performances in years. Altcoins also traded higher in a range-bound session, with Ethereum up 3.12% at $1,619, XRP gaining 2.12% to $1.06, Solana jumping 4.85%, and Cardano rising 4.42%.
