Bitcoin reaches three-month high before pulling back as altcoins consolidate

Bitcoin briefly climbed to $81,455 overnight, reaching its highest level since May 15, according to CoinDesk. The cryptocurrency later pulled back as altcoins consolidated. The move came as Nasdaq futures slipped and gold extended its gains ahead of the weekend. Bitcoin remains the primary asset in focus, while related market attention includes Solana, Litecoin, AltLayer, Midnight Network, Monad, Ontology and Ore. Gold and the Nasdaq Composite are also relevant cross-market reference points for investors monitoring the session. The source did not provide further details on the size of Bitcoin’s pullback or the performance of individual altcoins.
