Bitcoin surged 3.5% to nearly $64,000, closing the week with a 4.2% gain, driven by a weaker U.S. dollar and strong demand for AI-related semiconductors. Major altcoins like Ether, XRP, and Dogecoin also rose, while Solana lagged slightly. The Nasdaq led U.S. stock gains, helped by memory chip makers Micron and Sandisk, reflecting broader tech sector strength. Market watchers note the crypto rebound was influenced by leveraged trading and dollar depreciation rather than specific crypto events, suggesting continued correlation with semiconductor cycles if current trends persist.
