Bitcoin nears $70K as altcoins surge, analysts call rally relief bounce

Bitcoin approached the $70,000 level on Wednesday evening before retreating to about $68,100 in Thursday trading, highlighting ongoing volatility in digital-asset markets. The move represented roughly a 5% swing between the session high and an overnight low near $67,700 and marked the strongest attempt to reclaim the $70,000 threshold since the Feb. 5 market downturn. Despite the advance, analysts cautioned that the move does not yet signal a sustained trend reversal, describing the rally as a temporary recovery rather than the start of a new bull phase. Altcoins outperform as risk appetite returns Market activity showed broader participation beyond bitcoin itself. Several alternative cryptocurrencies significantly outpaced the largest token. Ether rose about 8.5%, Solana gained 6.9%, Cardano surged 10.
