Bitcoin breaks $80,000 as traders rotate into altcoins amid improving market mood
Summary
Bitcoin climbed above $80,000 during Asian trading hours, supported by improved risk appetite that also saw gains in equities and precious metals. While Bitcoin and major assets saw moderate growth, smaller altcoins and DeFi tokens like ENA, ONDO, and TON outperformed the broader market. Market data indicates a shift toward more speculative bets, with record open interest in assets like ADA and TON. Despite the bullish move, caution persists as derivatives indicators show some divergence and institutional investors continue to prioritize downside hedging strategies.
