Cryptocurrencies started the week with a strong rally, bouncing back from recent losses as bitcoin (BTC) once again traded above its 2021 peak.

Bitcoin (BTC) surged past $70,000 on Monday during U.S. trading hours, surpassing the level for the first time in 10 days and gaining more than 7% over the past 24 hours. Ethereum's ether (ETH) was up 6% during the same period, while tokens for major layer-1 blockchains Solana (SOL) and Avalanche (AVAX) advanced more than 10%.

This move signaled a potential end to the recent correction for crypto markets, which saw BTC drop below $61,000 last week from record prices above $73,000, coupled with tepid inflows to new U.S.-listed spot bitcoin ETFs and increased selling of Grayscale's GBTC fund. Bitcoin could target new all-time highs after breaking out to the upside from its consolidation pattern, analytics firm 10x Research said in a Monday report.
