Bitcoin slips below $82,000; oil eases on waiver relief
Bitcoin traded around $81,900, up roughly 1% over 24 hours but back below the $82,000 mark overnight. Ethereum held near $2,400–2,410, flat to softer. In energy, December Brent traded around $107.6–108.7, down about 2% as waiver-driven relief continued from Friday's five-month high; persistent Hormuz shipping-lane risk keeps a floor under prices. No new China–US/UK tariff moves were reported in the window.
