Bitcoin traded around $64,400, retesting a level it failed to break on Monday, and a clean move higher is pointing it toward a June 15 peak near $67,250, according to CoinDesk.

Ether, meanwhile, rose 2.6% to about $1,790, as traders watched it for signs of breaking out of sequential lower highs and lower lows.

Altcoins also posted gains into the weekend, with LIT up more than 200% since May 16 after a deal involving Robinhood Chain to bring its decentralized derivatives exchange to 28 million customers, and rival Hyperliquid’s HYPE showing a bullish sequence of higher lows.

CoinDesk also noted crypto’s divergence from equities, with S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 futures down 0.1% and 0.4%, respectively, as bitcoin was up about 2% since midnight UTC and traded at roughly $63,965.74 earlier Friday.
