Crypto Price Today (June 3): Altcoins Recover as Bitcoin Tops $106K; XRP, SOL Spike 4%

The cryptocurrency market is riding on an optimistic wave today, with Bitcoin (BTC) topping past the $106,000 mark while recovering from the Monday pressure. This decent surge in the leading cryptocurrency has fueled optimism across the altcoins sector, with Ripple (XRP) and Solana (SOL) taking a lead while surging over 4% today. 

Bitcoin is currently reflecting a modest gain of 1.6% in the past 24 hours, with a trading volume of $47.26 billion. This reversal comes after a sharp pull back, with Bitcoin dropping from the weekly high of $108,900 to as low as $103,261 on 31 May. Analysts suggest Bitcoin’s current rally is driven by institutional buying and growing market confidence, though some warn of a possible correction to $100,000 if momentum weakens.

As Bitcoin continues to set the tone, altcoins are showing signs of a strong recovery. With institutional adoption and market catalysts on the horizon, the crypto market appears poised for further growth. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading near $106,074, marking a daily high of $106,790 during early US trading hours. 

Following Bitcoin, various altcoins have posted steady gains, with XRP surging over 4% and trading above $2.26 while Solana (SOL) giving a similar move and breaking above $160, buoyed by speculation around ETF approvals and its robust blockchain ecosystem. Both assets are well-positioned to capitalize on a potential altcoin season, with bullish signals emerging across technical indicators.

Other altcoins, including Ethereum (ETH)—surging 3% to $2,624—and Binance Coin (BNB)—surging to $664—have also contributed to the market’s upward trajectory. The community sentiment on X highlights a growing bullish sentiment, with analysts predicting a breakout if institutional interest persists. However, some caution that token unlocks in June could introduce volatility, potentially impacting altcoin prices.

Despite today’s gains, the market remains dynamic. A recent 8% dip in SOL, XRP, and Dogecoin (DOGE) prices amid Bitcoin’s pullback below $105,000 underscores the sector’s volatility.
