Bitcoin approached $62,000 following a strong short squeeze that liquidated $281 million in bearish bets, pushing major cryptocurrencies higher. Ether rose nearly 10% weekly, and Solana gained almost 19%, driven by weaker U.S. jobs data that reduced expectations for further Federal Reserve rate hikes. This macro backdrop lifted risk assets broadly, including Asian stocks, while questions remain if the short squeeze will lead to sustained demand amid ETF outflows and thin liquidity. The crypto market saw its strongest week since mid-June, but ongoing volatility and liquidity challenges persist.
