Crypto Market Update | Short News

Bitcoin ($BTC ) surged over 3% on Monday, reaching its highest level since mid-November and moving closer to the key $95,000 mark. The rally marked Bitcoin’s strongest daily gain in more than a month, signaling a positive start to 2026 for the crypto market.

$XRP led the broader crypto rally, jumping 9% after breaking a major resistance level on strong trading volume, climbing near $2.32 — also its highest level since mid-November.

Crypto-related stocks followed the momentum, with Coinbase rising nearly 9%, while Strategy (MSTR) and Robinhood gained 5% and 6%. Despite the optimism, analysts caution that Bitcoin still faces regulatory and technical challenges, warning the market is improving but not fully out of risk yet.
