Bitcoin rose from around $80,700 overnight to briefly surpass $83,000 early Monday before slipping back to about $82,400. This move coincided with a rebound in tech stocks, including a 1.1% gain in Nasdaq 100 futures and a 3% jump in a chipmaker ETF. Despite the bounce, Bitcoin remains about $1,000 below a resistance level near $84,000 that capped gains last week. Investors are watching if a break above $84,000 could signal a stronger tech-driven rally for Bitcoin. Meanwhile, European markets weakened due to protests in France and bond selloffs, with the euro underperforming major currencies.
