Bitcoin rises to near $83k amid some relief from falling oil prices

Bitcoin rose 1.3% to $82,783.1 on Monday, recovering from recent losses, as falling oil prices provided relief to risk-driven markets. The drop in oil prices, due to U.S. sanctions waivers on Russian oil, eased inflation concerns and reduced expectations for aggressive interest rate hikes. Broader crypto prices also rose but remained rangebound, with Ether up 0.9% and XRP up 1.3%.
