Stat: $3+ billion. That’s how much restitution New York State Attorney General Letitia James is now seeking from Digital Currency Group, Genesis Global Capital, and Gemini, the crypto exchange run by the Winklevoss twins, for allegedly defrauding more than 230,000 investors, after initially suing in October (CNBC).

Here’s where the major benchmarks ended:
- The S&P 500 index fell 4.77 points (0.1%) to 5,021.84; the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 125.69 points (0.3%) to 38,797.38; the NASDAQ Composite lost 48.12 points (0.3%) to 15,942.55.
- The 10-year Treasury note yield (TNX) dropped more than 1 basis point to 4.173%.
- The CBOE Volatility Index® (VIX) rose 1.00 to 13.93.
Despite the mixed performance of large-cap stock indexes, several other market sectors got off to a strong start this week. Banking and retail were among the strongest performers, and the small-cap Russell 2000® Index (RUT) surged 1.8% to end at its highest level since late December.
Tech shares erased early gains, with the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (SOX) fading to a 0.2% loss after earlier rising to a record intra-day high.
Peterson noted shares of many semiconductor companies are well into technically overbought territory, which often can lead to sharp pullbacks, though the timing of such a move is difficult to pinpoint. He cited unusually elevated Relative Strength Index (RSI) readings, at 90-plus, for two AI darlings: Arm Holdings (ARM) and Super Micro Computer (SMCI).
