Bitcoin approached $62,000, with Ether and Solana leading gains amid a strong short squeeze and optimism over the Federal Reserve's interest rate outlook. Ether rose nearly 10% weekly, Solana surged 18.6%, and XRP also gained. The rally was fueled by $281 million in short position liquidations, especially in Ether, and was supported by weaker U.S. employment data reducing expectations of further Fed rate hikes. Despite the surge, analysts caution that the move is driven by forced short-covering, with potential volatility ahead due to thin market liquidity and ongoing Bitcoin ETF outflows.
