Crypto snapshot
Bitcoin: ~$82,653, down about 5.8% on the day, range $82,350 to $89,403. (CoinGecko)
Ethereum: ~$2,690, down about 6.2%, range $2,705 to $2,942. (CoinGecko)

What actually drove today’s tape
Crypto traded like a rates-sensitive risk asset today, with price action leaning defensive as yields stayed elevated and risk appetite wobbled. (Reuters)
The U.S. 10Y yield was around 4.26%, which kept upside attempts tight and made dips feel more persistent than opportunistic. (Stooq)
A stronger U.S. dollar and risk-off positioning into upcoming data kept high-beta coins lagging even when spot tried to stabilize. (Reuters)
“Crypto equities” got a temporary relief catalyst
Crypto-linked equities mostly traded as simple beta to spot today, with direction driven more by macro tone than any fresh sector catalyst. (Reuters)
Broader markets context (risk appetite)
U.S. stocks were mixed, with SPY, QQQ, and DIA giving a clean read that broader risk was not providing a strong tailwind for crypto today. (Market data)
Rates stayed the macro gravity, with the U.S. 10Y near 4.26% and the tape treating that level as a ceiling on risk rallies. (Stooq)
Key levels and “today read” (simple and usable)
Bitcoin: $85,000 is the psychological line; today’s $82,350 low is the first defend; reclaim $89,403 then $90,000 opens room toward $92,000 if follow-through shows up.
ETH: Support sits near $2,705; reclaim $2,942 and then $3,000 would signal the bounce is sticking instead of fading back into the range.

Today’s bottom line
Today was a rates-led, risk-off leaning session: crypto moved like a macro trade, and elevated yields kept rallies contained. (Reuters) (Stooq)
A clearer drop in the 10Y would be the cleanest signal for risk to extend, while yields holding around 4.25% keeps upside choppy. (Reuters) (Stooq)
