Bitcoin’s rebound from Friday’s sharp selloff kept its pace over the past 24 hours, lifting the asset toward $63,000 as of the latest update. CryptoPotato frames this as a continuation of the market recovery after BTC dropped from roughly $73,000 into the $60,000 range during the business week.
The desk’s baseline matters here because the story is still about a prior shock, not a random green candle. CryptoPotato says BTC entered the week around $73,000, slipped below $70,000, then reached $65,000 midweek. Its recovery attempt to $67,000 stalled, and Friday turned worse. The bears pushed BTC to under $60,000 for the first time since late 2024, before the market’s bounce gained traction once BTC reclaimed $60,000 soon after.
CryptoPotato also ties the rebound to cross-asset spillovers, saying the “calamity” hit Wall Street and gold, and then worsened after a positive US jobs report. The implication is straightforward. When macro moves hit multiple risk proxies at once, crypto can fall harder than it “should,” then recover when the pressure eases.
What’s moving in the majors
On the latest daily read, CryptoPotato reports that most large-cap altcoins tracked BTC higher.
Ethereum rose toward $1,650 after hitting about $1,500 during the selloff, with a roughly 4% daily gain reported. BNB approached $600.
XRP is the headline act. CryptoPotato says XRP jumped past $1.10 and $1.15 after dipping to $1.05 on Friday. The article treats those levels as key support marks, meaning the market is testing whether the prior breakdown can now flip into a base.
CryptoPotato also lists gains across a wider set of assets, noting SOL, TRX, DOGE, RAIN, and XLMR up as much as 4% daily. It points to ZEC as the clear outlier in the mid-cap pack, up about 8% to around $400 after “post-FUD recovery.”
It then notes that other tokens are in the green as well, including LINK, CC, SUI, SHIB, TAO, UNI, and WLD.
Weekend watch: total market rebound and BTC’s role
The recovery shows up in aggregate metrics, per CryptoPotato. Total crypto market cap has regained about $150 billion since Friday’s low, reaching $2.240 trillion on CG.
Bitcoin’s market-level position also improved. CryptoPotato reports BTC market capitalization climbed past $1.250 trillion on CG, while BTC dominance over altcoins stands above 56%. That matters because dominance tends to reflect capital rotating back toward BTC when risk appetite returns, even if alts also bounce.
CryptoPotato frames BTC as “eyes $63K,” with the asset climbing from sub-$60,000 into the low-$60,000 zone. The trackable point for readers is not a guarantee of continuation. It is the market’s ability to hold higher levels after a violent breakdown.

Despite CryptoPotato tagging the broader sector story into regulation and other buckets, this specific update is mostly market-structure reporting. The concrete pieces are the level recaptures, the timing around Friday’s move, and the dominance and market-cap readout.
If you’re scanning for what changes the most over a weekend watch, the article’s own numbers do the job. BTC’s ability to keep pushing toward $63K. XRP’s ability to hold above $1.10 and $1.15 after reclaiming them. And whether dominance stays elevated while alts catch up, or if this becomes another bounce that fades.
Crypto markets love repeating patterns. CryptoPotato’s report gives the most actionable version of “what to watch next,” which is simply what levels the market is already testing after the shock.
