Wall Street

All the MAGFA stocks were up, gaining $65 billion. Governments around the world are going after them but, apparently, investors think big tech will survive and remain healthy. In the other tech category there continues to be a lot of volatility. Coinbase up strongly in line with crypto.

Crypto

Crypto had a strong comeback gaining nearly $575 billion in market cap. Bitcoin and Ethereum represented nearly a fourth of the gain. Ethernet gained on Bitcoin, but I believe Bitcoin will remain the leader. The rest of the 11,000+ cryptos gained a lot as a % as more and more investors take a position in crypto.
