<a href="https://u.today/bitcoin-warning-issued-by-crypto-analyst-amid-btc-price-surge-to-58000" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin</a>, the largest cryptocurrency by market value, topped $60,000, reaching highs of $60,660 in Saturday trading. The surge reflected a reversal of September losses amid fears of a weakening U.S. economy.
Bitcoin's price rose on Friday, reaching $60,770, its highest level since the beginning of September, as traders became optimistic that the Federal Reserve's next meeting might yield a jumbo-sized rate cut.
The gains were sustained till press time with Bitcoin up 3.27% in the last 24 hours to $59,835.
