Bitcoin climbs 6% to $75,000 as Ether and XRP rally

Bitcoin jumped 6.5% past $75,000, while open interest climbed to $122.46 billion and liquidations surged to $497.40 million, showing traders are piling in fast. Ether rose 8% to $2,350, XRP gained 4% to $1.40, and Solana added 6% to $86.30, pointing to a broad crypto move rather than a Bitcoin-only spike. Crypto momentum is building with the RSI still at a neutral 57.74 and the Altcoin Season Index at 34, which suggests the rally is heating up but has not yet turned into full risk-on mania.

That followed a strong regular session where investors looked past the breakdown in weekend peace talks between the U.S. and Iran and held on to the view that some kind of deal could still happen.
