Bitcoin nears $69,000 as Ethereum and XRP rally on macro, regulatory and institutional tailwinds

Bitcoin rebounded more than 5% toward $69,000 after a dip into the $64,000–$65,000 demand zone, with short liquidations helping price reclaim key technical levels. Ethereum climbed 7.4% to $2,065 and XRP added 4.7% to $1.43 as improving macro sentiment, regulatory developments and institutional accumulation strengthened the broader crypto market's recovery. Analysts now see sustained spot inflows, higher lows and stable funding as essential to turning this move into a durable uptrend.
