   Stocks surged on Friday as technology stocks recovered following several   
   days of heavy selling in the sector and bitcoin   
    rebounded following a rout that took the popular cryptocurrency down more   
   than 50% at one point.   
      
   The Dow Jones Industrial Average   
    advanced 1,044 points, or 2.1%, turning positive for the week and   
   reaching an all-time high. The S&P 500   
    jumped 1.7%, while the Nasdaq Composite   
    traded up 2%. With those moves, the S&P 500 climbed slightly back into   
   the green for 2026.   
      
   Even with Friday’s pop, the S&P 500 was still on pace for a 0.4% decline   
   for the week, while the Nasdaq is down about 2% on the week still. The 30-   
   stock Dow, meanwhile, is sitting up 2% week to date, benefitting from some   
   rotation into some economically cyclical stocks even as the overall market   
   was weighed down by tech selling.
