*Risk-On Session as Bitcoin, Nasdaq, and Gold Climb While Oil Slumps 3%*

Markets opened with a clear risk-on tone, with Bitcoin, tech futures, and gold all trading higher while crude oil faced sharp selling pressure.

Winners of the Session

- *Bitcoin (BTCUSD) +0.92%* leads the move at *$77,462*, holding near recent highs and showing continued strength in crypto.

- *Tech rallies*: NASDAQ 100 E-mini futures (NQ1!) are up *0.72%* at *29,132.50*, outpacing the broader market. S&P 500 E-mini futures (ES1!) gained *0.41%* to *7,408.50*.

- *Gold (GOLD) +0.43%* trades at *$4,503.16/oz*, extending its safe-haven bid alongside equities.

Laggard

- *Crude Oil (USOIL) -2.94%* is the outlier, dropping to *$100.96*. The sharp decline suggests profit-taking or demand concerns are weighing on energy markets.

- *Dollar Index (DXY) +0.02%* is flat at *99.335*, showing minimal impact on the rally.

What It Means

The combination of rising stocks, crypto, and gold points to broad risk appetite rather than a flight to safety. Tech leading the charge suggests optimism around growth and AI demand is back in play.

Oil’s 3% drop stands out and could cap gains in energy names if selling continues.

Bottom Line

It’s a green day for most assets except oil. Watch if BTC can hold above $77k and if NASDAQ can push through 29,200 to confirm momentum. A deeper oil selloff could become the main headwind for the session.
