The technology-focused Nasdaq and Broad-Market S&P 500 also increased 1.2% and 1.5% according to the afternoon hours of the session. Crypto-related stocks also climbed higher from the early weeks.

Merchant stresses and geopolitical risk have taken the middle scene recently, which weighs on investor mood, pushing risk assets such as US equities and digital assets lower.
Similar risk from episodes has usually led investors to flee to the US dollar and translate into downward pressure on crypto assets, said Joel Kruger, market strategist at LMAX Group. This time, this time, the US dollar index (DXY) craned to its weakest level since the beginning of November and is more than 5% lower from its tops in mid -January.
“With the FED interest rate expectations that switch back to pricing of more rate cuts than less in 2025, and with Bitcoin capable of shining as a store with value, we believe there are plenty of reasons to expect Bitcoin to be well supported on dips,” Kruger said.
The Crypto Analytics company SWISSBLOCK noted that despite the wild price turning in the last few days, the company’s Bitcoin fundamental index, which measures the overall health of the network, kept relatively well.
“Bitcoin’s basic elements are on the verge of switching to the bullish quadrant with sustained improvements in liquidity and network growth,” Swissblock analysts said in a telegram broadcast. “This strength suggests that BTC is likely to be driven into a bear market.”
