U.S. stocks also turned lower in mid-morning trading. Traders may see this as a sign that rising energy prices and weaker market sentiment are weighing on risk assets.
Why it matters
- Brent crude rose above $116 per barrel, marking a six-month high for oil prices.
- U.S. stocks turned lower mid-morning, suggesting the pressure extends beyond crypto.
- Bitcoin's dip to $81,000 came alongside the oil surge, linking crypto moves to macro conditions.
