Bitcoin, Ether Rise Slightly But Struggle For Meaningful Recovery -- Market Talk

Dow Jones
Yesterday

1323 GMT - Bitcoin and ether turn slightly higher but struggle for a stronger recovery in the wake of Wednesday's better-than-expected U.S. jobs data, Saxo Bank analysts say in a note. The nonfarm payrolls data prompted markets to bet on higher-for-longer interest rates, hitting risk sentiment, they say. Flows in digital asset exchange-traded funds "underline this cautious tone," with data showing outflows from U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs and ether ETFs on Wednesday. "Overall, the digital asset market reads as cautious but orderly: positioning is being adjusted, not abandoned." Bitcoin rises 0.3% to $67,960, having reached a 16-month low of $60,008 last Friday, LSEG data show. Ether rises 0.7% to $1,984 after hitting a nine-month low of $1,751 Friday.
