Bitcoin rose to just under $83,900 after New York Fed President John Williams said he saw no need for further rate increases in 2027, helping weaken the dollar and lift risk assets. ZEC led major tokens with a near 7 percent gain, while traders turned attention to Thursday’s U.S. inflation report as the next major test for crypto momentum.

Bitcoin climbed back toward $64,000 after a volatile week marked by oil-market stress, bond selling and U.S. strikes on Iran. The rebound appeared driven less by crypto-specific catalysts than by leverage resets, Asian semiconductor strength, yen gains and a softer dollar.
