The strength in Bitcoin’s price also comes after the U.S. ISM Manufacturing PMI came in at 52.4, which is slightly lower than January’s 52.6 but still beat expectations of 51.8, and shows growth. Generally, a PMI number above 50 signals expansion, and below 50 means the economy is operating defensively. Moreover, Bitcoin has never delivered a fresh record high when PMI has been below 50. The U.S. economy has now held above 50 for two consecutive months.

Crypto majors rose alongside Bitcoin, with Solana (SOL) and Ethereum (ETH) clocking the biggest gains among the top 10, each rising around 2%. Solana’s price touched $86.50, while Ethereum’s price crossed back over the $2000 mark. Both saw retail sentiment improve to ‘bullish’ from ‘neutral’ territory over the past day. Chatter remained subdued at ‘low’ levels.

Cardano (ADA) and Dogecoin (DOGE) were the two tokens still in the red while the broader market rallied. Cardano’s price fell more than 1% in the last 24 hours, while Dogecoin’s price edged 0.6% lower.

According to CoinGlass data, the crypto market saw around $330 million in liquidations over the last 24 hours, with more than $200 million in short bets wiped out.
