What Happened: Bitcoin trended upward during trading hours and soared to $62,500 late evening. The sharp rebound erased Monday's sell-offs that saw the leading currency dip below $50,000 for the first time in nearly six months.
The second-largest cryptocurrency, Ethereum, rose by double digits to $2,700 before retreating to the high $2,600s.
The rally resulted in cryptocurrency liquidations worth more than $229 million in the last 24 hours, with traders betting on downsides losing $168 million.
Bitcoin's Open Interest rose 5.53%, while Ethereum saw a 6% increase in funds locked in the futures market.
The Cryptocurrency Fear & Greed Index improved from "Extreme Fear" to "Neutral" as a result of the recoil.

The global cryptocurrency market stood at $2.14 trillion, soaring 8.84% in the last 24 hours.
Stocks surged Thursday following Wednesday's pullback. The tech-focused Nasdaq Composite soared 464.21 points, or 2.87%, to close at 16,660.02. The S&P 500 ended 2.30% higher at 5,319.31. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 1.76% to close at 39,446.49.
The positive momentum came after lower-than-expected jobless claims data for the week ending Aug. 2, quelling fears of an economic slowdown.
Recall that a weaker July jobs report Friday fuelled recession concerns. Additionally, the unwinding of the Japanese yen "carry trade," due to the Bank of Japan's interest rate hike, contributed to the downturn in global markets earlier this week.

#BTC Bitcoin has successfully broken above $60600 Dips into $60600, if any at all, would constitute a retest attempt of that level Generally, continued stability above $60600 and BTC will be able to revisit the $65000 (blue) over time$BTC #Crypto #Bitcoin pic.twitter.com/CM811uBoto
