Top Movers
What If?
If you had put $1,000 into Bitcoin yesterday, you'd have $1,021.40 today.
The Big Picture
Tech grabbed the wheel and drove everything higher. The Nasdaq 100 jumped 1.43%, pulling the S&P 500 up 0.87% behind it, with the technology sector leading all groups at +1.65%. This was a clean risk-on session — investors rotating into growth and away from defensives. Healthcare dropped 1.09%, utilities fell 1.01%. The message: nobody wanted safety today. The interesting wrinkle is what happened outside equities. Gold rose 1.06% and silver surged 1.98% — precious metals don't usually rally alongside a risk-on equity move. That split signal, combined with the Fear & Greed Index still sitting at 44 (Fear territory), suggests conviction isn't deep. Bitcoin climbed 2.14% to $64,206 and crypto broadly caught the bid, but the bond market barely moved — long Treasuries were flat, which means rates aren't the story today. The yen is worth watching. USD/JPY hit 162.34, meaning the dollar now buys significantly more yen — a level that has historically prompted intervention from Japanese authorities. If Tokyo acts, it ripples. *This is not financial advice. Acid Capitalist is a financial news and commentary site — not a registered financial adviser. Always do your own research.*Fear & Greed Index
