what happened
Cryptocurrencies have recovered after recent pressure, and their moves again track the stock market closely. According to Market Talk, bitcoin climbed 1.8% to $84,060, while the Nasdaq gained 0.6%.
Other major coins also advanced. Zcash rose 3.7%, ethereum added 0.9%, XRP gained 2.1% and Binance's token was up 0.5%. Solana and Hyperliquid, by contrast, traded lower.
why it matters
The link between bitcoin and equities is not new, but it has strengthened again recently. The rally alongside stocks suggests the crypto market is still responding to sentiment in technology shares, including those tied to artificial intelligence.
