✦AI Summary
Bitcoin and Ether experienced a slight pullback after reaching multi-week highs, as geopolitical tensions in the Strait of Hormuz offset positive momentum from cooling U.S. inflation data. While major cryptocurrencies consolidated, select altcoins like Hyperliquid and Zcash saw significant gains, reflecting a mixed performance across the broader digital asset market.
Bitcoin, while more than 3% higher over 24 hours, fell 0.6% since midnight UTC as tensions between Iran and the U.S. over tanker movements in the Strait of Hormuz ramped up. The largest cryptocurrency earlier touched a three-week high of $65,200.
