0800 GMT - Bitcoin comes off intraday highs but remains above $70,000 amid risk-on sentiment following the landslide victory of Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's ruling coalition in the lower house election. Bitcoin falls 0.4% to $70,400, having hit $72,217 earlier in the session, according to LSEG data. Bitcoin's stabilization above $70,000 is "a stark contrast to last week's extreme fluctuation" before rebounding back above $70,000 on Friday," Deutsche Bank strategists say in a note.
