Altcoins Begin to Recover as Bitcoin (BTC) Bounces Nearly 20%

The past week has arguably been one of the biggest tests for digital currencies to date as the coronavirus-inspired sell-off continues to panic global markets.

After briefly falling below $4,000, Bitcoin (BTC) has shown signs of recovery on Thursday, surging more than 19% to $6,300. With BTC on the rise, the vast majority of altcoins have followed suit.
