Wall Street Stages Impressive Comeback: S&P 500 and Nasdaq Post Best Day Since November, But Weekly Losses Persist

In a dramatic turnaround, U.S. stock markets rallied on Friday, marking their best day since November. The S&P 500 surged 2.2%, adding over $1.3 trillion in market cap, while the Nasdaq jumped 2.7%. This impressive performance was led by a rebound in Big Tech stocks and a relief bounce as the threat of a government shutdown receded. Despite the day's gains, major indexes still posted weekly losses, with the Dow down 3.07%, S&P 500 down 2.28%, and Nasdaq down 2.43% for the week. The rally was broad-based, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average climbing over 650 points. Notably, Nvidia's market cap increased by $149 billion in a single day. The VIX, often called the "fear index," plunged as investor sentiment improved. Safe-haven gold touched a record high, reflecting the week's earlier volatility. Analysts suggest that recent market struggles have created buying opportunities, with some experts highlighting top stocks to consider. Despite the strong finish, bears remain in control, as evidenced by the negative weekly performance of major indices.

Gold’s Surge Past $3,000 Reignites Bitcoin vs. Gold ‘Store of Value’ Debate

https://bitcoinmasterhub.com/haberler/manset/golds-surge-past-3000-reignites-bitcoin-vs-gold-store-of-value-debate/

🚨 BTC Price Maintains $80K After Favorable CPI Data, XRP to Get Commodity Status? (Your Weekly Recap)

It has been another eventful and volatile week in the cryptocurrency landscape, once again kicking off on the wrong foot. Let's break down the action.

After a slow weekend where $BTC lingered around $86,000 without much movement, Monday brought volatility that drove the asset down to $80,000 before a brief bounce to $84,000. Unfortunately, this recovery was short-lived, as $BTC plummeted to below $77,000 for the first time since early November 2024.

The bulls managed to step in and arrest the decline, propelling $BTC back to $84,000 after promising CPI numbers for February. Yet, this surge couldn't hold, with $BTC slipping again to $81,000 and even down to $80,000 on Thursday and early Friday. Currently, $BTC is hovering near $84,000, but the overall market looks grim, with many assets submerged in red. For the week, $BTC has experienced a 6% decline.

Several altcoins have severely underperformed, resulting in $BTC dominance reaching a four-year high. Notable declines include $ETH (-13%), $DOGE (-16%), $ADA (-17%), $LINK (-16%), $LTC (-13%), and $SUI (-18%).

In the latest market data, the overall market cap sits at $2.811 trillion, with $94 billion in 24-hour volume and $BTC dominance at 58.9%. Currently, prices are $BTC: $83,092 (-6.4%), $ETH: $1,895 (-8.3%), and $XRP: $2.3 (-8.3%).

In key news this week, the SEC is reportedly contemplating classifying $XRP as a commodity. After ongoing legal discussions with Ripple, this shift could bring significant changes to the landscape. Additionally, experts are pondering whether Trump's short-term policies aimed at fighting inflation could lead to long-term benefits for the crypto sector.

Making headlines this week, MGX has invested $2 billion in Binance, marking a substantial entry into the crypto market. Meanwhile, $ETH has faced a tough journey, losing significant value but may soon touch key levels that historically precede large rallies.

In exciting accumulation news, large entities have amassed nearly $400 million in $BTC recently as prices dipped. This could signal a tempting entry point for investors, especially as $BTC’s MVRV ratio has fallen to yearly lows.

Charts analyzing $ETH, $XRP, $ADA, $SOL, and other assets are available for those looking deeper into price trends.
