Everyone is waiting for the SEC’s decision, expected today, about whether it will allow spot bitcoin ETFs that would make buying the cryptocurrency easier and more accessible. But it seems someone wasn’t willing to wait it out!
After the SEC’s account posted to X yesterday that the ETFs had been approved, Chair Gary Gensler said on his own account that there had been no approval and the agency’s account was “compromised.” The false post briefly caused a spike in bitcoin prices.

The S&P 500® index (SPX) was down 7.04 points (0.2%) at 4,756.50; the Dow Jones Industrial Average® (DJI) was down 157.85 points (0.4%) at 37,525.16; the NASDAQ Composite was up 13.94 points (0.1%) at 14,857.71.
The 10-year Treasury note yield (TNX)was up about 2 basis points at 4.019%.
The CBOE® Volatility Index (VIX) was down 0.32 at 12.76.
Energy shares were among the market’s weakest performers Tuesday despite a rally of nearly 2% in crude oil futures. The Philadelphia Oil Service Index (OSX) sank 2.4% to a four-week low. Banking and materials were also notably soft. Small-cap stocks remained under pressure, sending the Russell 2000® Index (RUT) down 1.1%.
Despite the market’s weak start to the year, excessively bullish sentiment “remains a risk” to the recent rally, according to Kevin Gordon, senior investment strategist at Schwab. But he also noted that market “breadth,” the number of advancing shares versus declining shares, is “healthier” than it was for much of 2023. Sentiment “is still quite stretched, which means that the market remains vulnerable to a correction,” Gordon said. “However, the backdrop—whether it’s the number of stocks trading above their 200-day moving average, outperforming their respective benchmark, or in an uptrend—is relatively healthy. That keeps the broader uptrend in place, albeit not perfectly or smoothly.”

DEFINITION: Adverse events are medical errors that healthcare facilities could and should have avoided. The National Quality Forum (NQF) defines these errors, which are also called serious reportable events. There are 29 adverse events listed as reportable errors. The events may result in patient death or serious disability. The department manages aggregate data on adverse events and posts quarterly reports on this website.
A hospital’s acquisition by a private equity firm is linked to a rise in adverse events despite the pool of lower-risk patients they tend to admit, according to a Medicare Part A claims analysis just published in the Journal of the American Medical Association [JAMA], and according to Dave Muoio of Fierce Healthcare.
