XRP Leads Crypto Majors Recovery; Bitcoin Rises Over $21K as Rate-Hike Concerns Wane

Bitcoin (BTC) passed through the $21,000 level in European afternoon hours, adding to a steady recovery since last weekend’s plunge to almost $18,000. Current levels have acted as a resistance zone for the largest cryptocurrency by market cap, and a recovery above $21,000 could see the asset surge to $22,600.
