Crypto prices are experiencing a rebound from their weekend lows in early U.S. trading on Monday, coinciding with a notable bounce in U.S. equity indices. Approximately one hour into the trading session, the Nasdaq showed a minimal loss of 0.1%, a significant recovery from overnight futures that had indicated a plunge exceeding 2%. Similarly, the S&P 500 and DJIA are posting only modest declines.
In commodity markets, gold has risen by 2%, and crude oil by 7%. The U.S. dollar index is exhibiting one of its strongest sessions in weeks, gaining 1%.
Bitcoin (BTC) has climbed to $68,600, marking a 2.3% increase over the past 24 hours. Ether (ETH) is up by 1.4%, with Solana (SOL) and XRP (XRP) showing similar gains.

This reading signifies only the second expansion since November 2023 and reflects the strongest pace of U.S. activity growth since May 2022.
