Bitcoin climbs, finding floor after worst sell-off since 2015
Saturday's broad recovery coincides with pause in bearish news that had shaved 24% off cryptocurrency's value
Madrid
BITCOIN rebounded on Saturday along with most of the major cryptocurrencies, halting a four-day tumble that drew worldwide attention to the unregulated US$500 billion market that's frequently called a bubble.
The double-digit bounceback was strongest with second-tier digital coins. Bitcoin cash soared 21 per cent and litecoin gained 12 per cent as cryptocurrency traders regained optimism. They weren't put off by comments published on Saturday from a central banker in Germany that "the risk of rapid losses" is obscured in cryptocurrencies.
