Bitcoin falls below $82,000 as US bond yields rise with stocks

Bitcoin dropped below $82,000 on Monday after Wall Street opened, diverging from rising equities. The Nasdaq Composite gained 1.5% while the 10-year US Treasury yield climbed back to 5.13%. QCP Capital noted bond-market stability is key to Bitcoin's upside, warning that sustained equity deleveraging could threaten the $80,000 support level.
