Ethereum reclaimed $3K once again with Bitcoin charting a 20-day high and hit $43,000 as we can see more in today’s latest altcoin news.

After dipping below $41,000, BTC went on the offensive again and exceeded $43,000 with other altcoins being in the green and ADA nearing $1 while Ethereum reclaimed $3K. The reports show that Bitcoin’s brief retracement drove the asset from $42,500 to under $41,000 and this came after a positive trading day where the crypto reclaimed $40,000 after a week and stood below this coveted level. However, the price dip was short-lived and the BTC bulls regained control over the market, pushing Is north once again. This time, the digital asset added another $2000 in the hours and spiked to $43,000.
