Bitcoin rises 4.3% above $82K as ICP crypto shows signs of bullish breakout after months of consolidation.

Bitcoin surged 4.3% to briefly surpass $82,200, driven by Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller's comments suggesting steady interest rates in September. Internet Computer (ICP) also gained 2.5%, breaking its long-term downtrend and consolidating around $2, with potential to reach $7.20 if resistance levels are overcome. Despite ICP's recent momentum, significant profit-taking and holder exits are expected during extended rallies due to its steep decline from its all-time high. Continued Bitcoin strength could support further ICP gains in the coming weeks.
