Bitcoin steadies at $67,000, faces critical juncture after sliding 9.5% in seven days

The recovery does little to mask a 9.5% weekly decline as U.S. stocks hit records highs, AI tokens rally and Coinbase's Ethena deal steals the spotlight. What to know : Bitcoin's 0.7% recovery on Wednesday does little to paper over a 9.5% seven-day decline, leaving it back in the range it traded between February and April even as U.S. stocks push to record highs. Ethena (ENA) surged more than 20% in 24 hours after Coinbase announced it will integrate some of the platform's features into a new savings product for its 100 million users. Altcoin Season indicator hit 53/100, its highest since early March, though Humanity Protocol (H) served as a timely reminder of the risks, losing a quarter of its value in 24 hours as profit-taking set in following a 200% weekly rally.
