Bitcoin traded near $78,000 early Tuesday as Asian markets regained their footing after a bruising stretch of volatility in precious metals, with traders taking some comfort from a sharp pickup in US factory activity overnight.
Equities across the region pushed higher. Japan’s Nikkei jumped 2.5% to claw back Monday’s losses, South Korea’s KOSPI rose 4%, and futures pointed to a rebound in Hong Kong, as investors stepped back into risk after last week’s whipsaw.
US markets also looked steadier at the open, with S&P 500 futures up 0.3% as traders lined up for a busy run of earnings in the next few sessions.Market snapshot
