Bitcoin is holding its ground above $60,000 even as macro turbulence rattles currency markets, with the Japanese yen surging sharply on fears that Tokyo is stepping in to defend its battered currency. That kind of cross-market volatility usually spooks crypto traders, but BTC is showing unusual composure at this level.
