Bitcoin Bounces Back $3K as SUI Skyrockets 10% to $4: Weekend Crypto Surge
Crypto markets stage a weekend rally—Bitcoin claws back $3K while SUI defies gravity with a double-digit pump. Traders wipe sleep from their eyes as altcoins flash green.
Bitcoin's Rebound: The OG crypto shakes off bearish pressure, adding $3,000 to its price tag. Miners breathe easier as hash ribbons stabilize.
SUI's Meteoric Rise: The Layer 1 newcomer rockets 10% to kiss $4—proof that VC-backed tokens still get moon missions while retail bags gather dust.
Market Mechanics: Liquidity pools churn as weekend traders chase momentum. Watch for fakeouts—Wall Street's closed, but crypto never sleeps.
Closing Thought: Another weekend, another proof that crypto runs on hopium and FOMO. At least the charts don't charge management fees.
BTC Reclaims $117K
The primary cryptocurrency was in a consolidation phase since July 14, when it hit a new all-time high of over $123,000. In the following ten days or so, it remained sideways around $118,000, with a few brief attempts for a breakout in each direction.
The buyers and sellers managed to maintain equilibrium for a while, but the bears took control on Thursday evening as Galaxy Digital began disposing of massive portions of BTC. In a matter of hours, bitcoin’s price tumbled from over $119,000 to a two-week low at $114,500.
After dumping by more than four grand, the bulls finally reemerged and didn’t allow a further breakdown. Just the opposite, BTC bounced off and jumped past $117,000, where it stands as of press time as well.
Crypto analysts believe this could be a pivotal moment if it manages to maintain above this level, as it could open the doors for fresh ATHs next week.
It’s very clear; if #Bitcoin can hold above $116.8K, then we’ll start to see new highs in the coming week. pic.twitter.com/jC0Gpg9db7

Alts in Green
The altcoins experienced substantial losses at the end of the business week but have reacted well today, with notable gains. ethereum is above $3,700 once again after a 3.5% daily jump. XRP defended the $3 resistance and is now at $3.15.
Solana, HYPE, XLM, LINK, and BCH have charted even more impressive gains, while SUI and HBAR are up by double-digits. The former has tapped $4, while the latter is above $0.26.
The top performers from the largest 100 alts include ENA (17%), SPX (14%), and SKY (13%). The total crypto market cap has gained roughly $70 billion since yesterday’s bottom and is up to $3.940 trillion on CG.
