Bitcoin BTC $84,459.46 and gold (XAU) pared losses during Friday’s Asian hours alongside a recovery in stocks as the Japanese yen gave up early gains. The largest cryptocurrency by market value recovered to nearly $82,000 after hitting lows below $81,000 overnight, according to CoinDesk data. At the time of writing, bitcoin was testing its 50-day simple moving average, a widely followed gauge of near-term market momentum. Other cryptocurrencies, such as ether ETH $2,490.55 , XRP (XRP), solana (SOL), and dogecoin DOGE $0.08295 saw similar moves.
