Bitcoin recovers toward $82,000 after overnight dip below $81,000
CoinDesk reported that bitcoin recovered to nearly $82,000 after falling below $81,000 overnight, amid a broader bounce in stocks and gold as the yen gave up early gains. The report said crypto futures positions worth $435 million were liquidated in 24 hours, including $385 million in longs, and that U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs lost $381 million in outflows on Thursday.
