U.S. stocks rebounded 1.71% on Friday, but Bitcoin didn’t keep up—the fastest runner in the field was $ZEC .
The Nasdaq closed up 1.71% at 24,730 on Friday, the S&P 500 rose 0.94%, and the semiconductor index gained 4.2%, as chip stocks that plunged Thursday began to recover.
Crypto didn’t follow suit: $BTC was at $75,964, down 0.17% over 24 hours. It briefly fell to $74,888 after the nonfarm payrolls report, its lowest level since late August. ETH was at $2,236, down 0.60%.
Only one was charging higher: ZEC was at $1,349.96, up 8.63% over 24 hours, after reaching a high of $1,388. It climbed back 9.4% from a low of $1,233.41—still about 20% below its September 27 all-time high of $1,697.
Meanwhile, XRP fell 4.58% to $1.185, the steepest drop among this group. SOL dipped below $90 to $88.30, then climbed back to $90.45.
What to watch next: Will ZEC hold above $1,388 first, or will BTC first reclaim its 24-hour high of $76,416? This is not investment advice.
