In this news:

Key takeaways

  • Bitcoin briefly dipped below $80,000 before recovering to nearly $82,000.

  • Asian stock markets rebounded, supporting the broader crypto market recovery.

Bitcoin recovery and Asian market rebound

Bitcoin rose 1.3% to nearly $82,000 as of Friday Asian morning hours after buyers pounced on a brief drop below $80,000, with Asian chip stocks bouncing back from Thursday’s rout.

ZEC was the standout among the majors, jumping 8% to about $1,190. SOL, ether, XRP and TRX added about 1% apiece, and BNB went nowhere, according to CoinDesk data.

Details of the price dip

Bitcoin’s break below $80,000 lasted all of two hours. The slide on Thursday took it to about $79,800, cutting through the roughly $80,400 low that buyers had defended twice in the past week, and that’s where they showed up again. Bitcoin was back near $82,500 within two hours and held above $81,000 through Asian trading.

Equities market performance

Stock traders bought the dip too. MSCI’s Asia Pacific equities gauge climbed 1.3%, with roughly three shares rising for every one that fell. Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix both gained more than 2%, and South Korea’s Kospi jumped nearly 3% after closing at its lowest since April on Thursday.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing was the odd one out, slipping even after an upbeat outlook as worries over AI spending hung around.
