BTC's trip to $85,000 ended in a reversal: from a high of $84,840 the price fell to $81,500, down almost 3%. The trigger did not come from crypto - the market was disappointed by Tesla's earnings report, and $431 million in leveraged positions were wiped out in a day.
U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds attracted $1.08 billion over the last three trading sessions. According to CoinDesk, this may not be enough for sustained growth of the first cryptocurrency: the average pace since summer is more than twice below the historical one.
In 24 hours, BTC gained about 2.4% and rose to $83,500 - a weekly high. The rebound follows last week's decline, when crypto tumbled along with Nasdaq on a hot US inflation report.
The broad altcoin market outpaced the largest cryptocurrencies: the CoinDesk 80 index rose about 3% in 24 hours, more than twice as much as CoinDesk 5. Bitcoin, meanwhile, was nearly unchanged and is holding around $84,000.
