How Gold and Bitcoin Broke Out in a Volatile Week

On today's episode of Market Brief – After Hours, we cover a Friday bounce that couldn't save Wall Street from weekly losses, as surging Treasury yields kept pressure on the Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq. We break down gold's breakout above its key moving averages and Bitcoin's explosive 22% weekly surge, fueled by a massive short squeeze. Plus, oil climbs on fresh Iran sanctions headlines, EUR/USD and GBP/USD hold their bullish structure, USD/CAD extends its downtrend, AUD/USD stages a breakout, and Moderna caps off a genuinely wild week of swings.
