According to CoinDesk, Bitcoin has topped the $65,000 mark. Key US inflation data will be released this week, with markets closely watching its impact on cryptocurrency trends.

Bitcoin has slid toward the $70,000 mark as concerns over major holder sales and geopolitical risks weigh on the cryptocurrency market.

Ethereum also dropped below $2,000, though futures open interest hit a record 16 million ETH, signaling growing divergence between spot selling and futures positioning.

Bitcoin briefly crossed the $82,000 threshold in the past 24 hours, reaching a recent high. Market analysts attribute the rally primarily to improving macroeconomic conditions.

This large-scale staking reduced circulating supply, driving the price upward. The broader crypto market is showing signs of recovery.
