The crypto market has turned decisively higher, with Bitcoin climbing back above $83,000 and most large-cap altcoins posting strong gains. BTC is up about 2% over the latest period, Ethereum has added nearly 2.8%, XRP around 2.7%, Solana more than 3.3% and Hyperliquid close to 3.7%. Zcash is leading the top names with a gain above 7%. The move appears to be tied partly to improving geopolitical sentiment. Reports circulated that the U.S. and Iran had reached a deal to end the war.
