Live updates: Bitcoin tags $83,000 and slips back as chip stocks lead a rebound

Bitcoin climbed from an overnight low near $80,700 to just above $83,000 early Monday, then slipped back to about $82,400 within half an hour. Sellers were waiting for the move.It was a quick turn. Bitcoin is up 0.3% over 24 hours, and $83,000 is still about $1,000 short of the ceiling that turned it back twice last week, near $84,000 on Oct. 13 and again on Oct. 14.The bounce tracked a rebound in tech. Nasdaq 100 futures climbed 1.1%, snapping a weeklong 5.5% selloff, and S&P 500 futures rose 0.5%. An ETF tracking chipmakers jumped 3% before the U.S. open, on course for its first gain in 10 sessions. This week’s earnings will put the AI trade under the spotlight again.Europe was weaker. The Stoxx 600 fell 0.8% after a weekend of protests in France, French bonds led a selloff in European debt, and the euro was the worst performer among major currencies. The dollar was flat, and Brent crude slipped from a five-month high.A move through $84,000 would be the first sign the tech rebound is pulling bitcoin up with it.
