The bitcoin price rebounded sharply Friday after a steep sell-off over the previous 24 hours, climbing briefly climbing above $71,000, a jump of $11,000 from its $60,000 low earlier in the 24-hour session.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The move came after several turbulent market sessions that saw the flagship cryptocurrency break key psychological support levels in a matter of hours. On Thursday, February 5, the Bitcoin price plunged as global financial markets deteriorated, with major stock indices sliding sharply and pushing investors out of riskier assets.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The sudden downturn was linked to broader macroeconomic stress, including weak earnings reports and steep declines in technology stocks, which intensified a flight to safety among traders.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Data compiled Thursday showed Bitcoin\u2019s value dipping to its lowest since late 2024, signaling growing bearish sentiment among market participants.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The digital asset had retreated more than 40% from its all-time high above $126,000 reached in October 2025, underscoring the severity of the downturn.<\/p>\n

Also, as the bitcoin price collapsed yesterday, forced liquidations boomed with over<\/a> $1 billion in positions wiped out over the past 24 hours, predominantly long bets facing automatic close-outs as BTC broke key levels.<\/p>\n

Crypto stocks rebound as Bitcoin price recovers<\/h2>\n

Despite Thursday\u2019s losses, Bitcoin price\u2019s rebound Friday saw prices climb from the $60,000 region back above the $70,000 mark, reflecting a nearly 15% recovery from intraday lows.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Crypto-related stocks saw massive gains as well. Strategy ($MSTR) shares were up 21% on the day, while Coinbase ($COIN) and Circle ($CRCL) and Robinhood ($HOOD) shares all jumped 10-15%\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bitcoin-linked equities also posted sharp gains, led by MARA Holdings (MARA), which climbed 21.03% to $8.14, and TeraWulf (WULF), up 19.55% to $14.25. Riot Platforms (RIOT) rose 16.54% to $14.05, while Cipher Mining (CIFR) added 15.47% to $14.66.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bitmine Immersion Technologies (BMNR) increased 15.43% to $20.08, and Core Scientific (CORZ) gained 10.43% to $16.36. Neptune Digital Assets (NDA) also advanced, rising 11.43% to $0.78<\/p>\n

During the drop, the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), a spot Bitcoin ETF managed by BlackRock that lets investors gain exposure to Bitcoin without holding the crypto directly, crushed its daily volume record with about $10 billion worth of shares traded \u2014 even as its price plunged<\/a> 13%, marking the second\u2011worst one\u2011day drop since the fund\u2019s launch.<\/p>\n

Currently, bitcoin is trading at $70,661.\u00a0<\/p>\n
