Bitcoin (BTC) is up 0.4% on the day and is trading at $5,315 by press time, according to CoinMarketCap. After yesterday’s dip to below $5,260, the top coin has just reclaimed ground above the $5,300 price point — but remains shy of its intra-week high of above $5,350 on April 20. Bitcoin nonetheless remains almost $300 higher than its April 16 dip down to $5,026.

Mild renewed growth has brought Bitcoin’s weekly gains to a solid 2.76%.

XRP has reported stronger growth of 1.7% on the day, and is currently trading at around $0.327. The asset’s price movements over the week have not correlated with bitcoin and ether, with XRP seeing an 7-day price high on April 18 at $0.34. After several days of consistent decline, XRP sharply spiked today, and has thus tempered its weekly performance to a 0.4% loss.
