Global Stocks Rise as Bitcoin Pushes Past $80,000: Markets Wrap
Bitcoin climbed past $80,000, reaching $81,255 following news of Treasury bond buybacks. This surge triggered $282 million in short liquidations and boosted crypto mining stocks, including MARA, which jumped 7%. Global stocks rose as falling oil prices lowered bond yields. However, major US indices including the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq recorded weekly losses. The Dow surged 500 points on Friday but remained in a trend of back-to-back weekly declines. Investors are now looking toward Nvidia earnings to determine if the artificial intelligence outlook remains intact.

Bitcoin Surpasses $80,000 as Global Stocks Rise on Lower Oil Prices
Bitcoin climbed past $80,000, reaching $81,255 following news of Treasury bond buybacks. This surge triggered $282 million in short liquidations and boosted crypto mining stocks, including MARA, which jumped 7%. Global stocks rose as falling oil prices lowered bond yields. However, major US indices including the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq recorded weekly losses. The Dow surged 500 points on Friday but remained in a trend of back-to-back weekly declines. Investors are now looking toward Nvidia earnings to determine if the artificial intelligence outlook remains intact.
Why it matters
Treasury intervention in bond markets to curb rising yields has fueled a debasement trade favoring crypto assets. Bond volatility remains a primary focus for equity traders. This environment creates a tension between short-term daily gains and broader weekly losses across major indices.
What is confirmed

- The Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq all posted weekly losses.
