CryptoPotato reported previously that the primary cryptocurrency tends to head south at the start of the weekends. Consequently, there were concerns about similar developments this time as well. So far, though, this hasn’t been the case now.

BTC had already lost several thousand dollars since the Tuesday top of $36,500 and was struggling at $33,000. It even dipped beneath that level briefly. Nevertheless, the cryptocurrency bounced off and started to reclaim some ground.

As a result, bitcoin pumped by around $1,000, jumped above $34,000 to a multi-day high of just over $34,600, where it’s currently situated as well.

BTC’s dominance over the altcoins is still above 45%, while its market capitalization has neared $650 billion.

Binance Coin (4%), Dogecoin (2.5%), Ripple (4%), Polkadot (4%), Uniswap (5.5%), and Bitcoin Cash (4%) have also seen considerable gains.

Cardano is among the best performers from the top ten coins with a 7% increase. This comes after the world’s largest cryptocurrency asset manager, Grayscale, said it had purchased ADA tokens.
