The tech-heavy Nasdaq wrapped up the session with some solid momentum, climbing 202.67 points to settle at 23,427.50. That's a gain of 0.87% on the day—nothing earth-shattering, but the kind of steady upward pressure that tends to set the tone for risk assets across the board.

When traditional markets show this kind of resilience, it usually ripples through to crypto as well. Traders watching the correlation between equity indices and digital assets know the script by now: risk-on sentiment in stocks often precedes buying interest in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and the broader altcoin space. Today's NASDAQ performance reflects that underlying appetite for exposure, even if the move itself stayed relatively measured.
