Bitcoin extends bounce above $82,000 as stocks rebound, DeFi tokens lead altcoin gains

Bitcoin advanced 0.8% to trade around the $82,700 threshold as macroeconomic sentiment improved globally. Better-than-expected GDP figures out of China provided a constructive backdrop for risk-on assets at the start of the week. Simultaneously, Nasdaq stock index futures rebounded strongly, pulling correlated technology and crypto sectors higher. The broader digital asset market participated in the rally, with the CoinDesk 80 index rising by 1.3%. Within the altcoin space, decentralized finance protocols outperformed other sectors, capturing outsized trading volume and capital inflows. Market participants view this recovery as a sign of resilient underlying demand despite recent macroeconomic uncertainties.
