Bitcoin [BTC], XRP, and Ethereum [ETH] flash green as bear relaxes after mauling the market

The cryptocurrency market recently saw one of the worst bear runs in history, with Bitcoin [BTC], the top cryptocurrency, losing almost half of its value when it dipped close to the $3500 mark from its long-held level of $6000. The rest of the market also responded in coin, and also resulted in an upset between XRP and Ethereum [ETH] which gave XRP the #2 position it is at currently.

XRP and Ethereum have also responded in kind, with the #2 up by 4% and Ethereum up by 7.2% in the same timeframe. The bear seems to have left its mark on the market, with all three currencies in the red, with losses of 2.6%, 11.2%, and 7.6% respectively.
