Market read: BTC is holding above $80K, while ETH remains above $2.5K. Recent positive sentiment has been linked to continued ETF inflows and improved spot demand. BNB is also near its 24-hour high. Public news sources also flag potential short-term volatility around today’s large BTC options expiry. Some information in this answer comes from external web sources.
