Why are deadbeat stocks Oracle, Microsoft, and AMD suddenly the week’s best performers?

This week gave beaten-up stock names a strange new job. They stopped acting like laggards and started leading the screen. Oracle (NYSE: ORCL), Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), and AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) came into Friday on track for huge weekly gains, the kind that reset charts and force traders to stop laughing at names they had written off.

Oracle rose 27% for the week, its best run since June 1999. AMD added 14% for the week, hit an all-time high on Thursday, and kept alive a 13-session winning streak that has pushed the shares up more than 42%.

Microsoft also climbed 14% in what is its best week since April 2015 after a brutal March quarter in which the software giant lost almost a quarter of its value, its worst quarter since 2008.

Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) gained about 15% this week after Elon Musk said on Wednesday that the company hit a key milestone on its AI5 chip.

Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO), Micron (NASDAQ: MU), and ON Semiconductor are each up about 30% so far in April. Marvell is up 41% this month. The iShares Expanded Tech-Software ETF, or IGV, is up about 14% week to date, which puts it on track for its best week since its record week in October 2001.

The SPDR Info Tech Fund, known as XLK, hit an all-time high on Friday for the first time since October 2025 and closed at a record level after 13 straight days of gains. That fund also logged its best week since April 2025.

What If a Quantum Computer Stole Your Bitcoin: How Classical Property Law Explains What Happens Next?

This article explores the legal implications and related laws of a hypothetical scenario where someone uses a quantum computer to steal Bitcoin.

The debate surrounding the quantumization of Bitcoin often veers off-topic because people are always discussing two distinct issues simultaneously.

One issue is technical: If quantum computing is powerful enough to crack Bitcoin's signature mechanism, how can the protocol respond? For example, new address types, migration rules, soft forks, abandonment mechanisms, key rotation, etc. This is indeed an engineering problem, but it remains an engineering problem.

The other issue is legal: Suppose someone uses a quantum computer to derive the private key of an old wallet and steals the Bitcoin within. What does this actually mean? Has he recovered abandoned property, or has he stolen someone else's Bitcoin?

In April 2026, the BIP-361 proposal recommended freezing over 6.5 million Bitcoins stored in quantum-vulnerable UTXOs, including an estimated 1 million Bitcoins associated with Satoshi Nakamoto. This is no longer just an abstract discussion, but a real struggle about ownership, forfeiture, and the meaning of property in a system that ultimately recognizes only control.

I don't intend to comment here on when a quantum computer capable of attacking Bitcoin will appear. The more specific question is paramount: if it does appear, and someone begins using quantum keys to transfer long-dormant Bitcoin, will the law consider it legitimate recovery or theft?

This answer will frustrate some Bitcoin holders because Bitcoin itself doesn't enforce ownership like a court does, but rather enforces control. If you can provide valid proof of expenditure, the network will accept the expenditure. But this highlights

Stanford's 2026 Al Index shows the performance gap between US and Chinese Al models has compressed to just 2.7%, down from a double-digit lead as recently as 2023, as Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.6 holds a 39-point Elo lead over ByteDance's best-performing model on the benchmarks Stanford tracks. Summary The 423-page report, released April 14, finds that the US and Chinese models have traded first place multiple times since early 2025, with DeepSeek-R1 briefly matching the top US model in February 2025 before being surpassed. The US leads China in private Al investment ($285.9 billion vs $12.4 billion) and notable model production (50 vs 30 in 2025), while China leads in Al publication volume, patent output, and industrial robot installations. The number of Al researchers entering the US has dropped 89% over seven years and 80% in the past year alone, a trend the report attributes in part to H-1B restrictions under the Trump administration. Stanford's 2026 Al Index, released April 14, documents the near-disappearance of the US performance advantage in artificial intelligence, with the top American model leading the best Chinese model by just 2.7% on the Arena Leaderboard benchmarks Stanford tracks as of March 2026. The 423-page report from Stanford's Institute for Human-Centered Al puts the specific figures starkly: in 2023, performance gaps between leading US and Chinese models ranged from 17.5 to 31.6 percentage points on major benchmarks including MMLU, MATH, and HumanEval

Bittensor Price Faces Correction After Soaring Past $265

On April 17, Bittensor ($TAO) price witnessed an upward momentum with a surge of 7% on a daily chart following a rally in the Bitcoin ($BTC) price, but failed to hold its position and faced a quick correction on the daily chart.

On Friday, the overall crypto market sparked a bullish sentiment in the market, which helped most altcoins to gain a spike. The main reason behind the rally in the crypto market is the major development in peace talks between the U.S. and Iran. Apart from this, recently, artificial intelligence-related tokens have also attracted the attention of investors due to their real utility.

At the time of writing, Bittensor ($TAO) is trading at around $252.30 with a market capitalization of around $2.82 billion, according to CoinMarketCap. The daily trading volume also jumped by 37% in the last 24 hours and is currently revolving around $396.22 million.

Bittensor ($TAO) Price Struggles to Break Consolidation Pattern

According to the current price chart, the surge in the cryptocurrency came after a bounce from a major Fibonacci support level. This bounce was also supported by a 41% surge in trading volume.

On Friday, Bitcoin ($BTC) gained an upward momentum and rallied above $78,000. Amid this, Bittensor has also witnessed a small spike before returning to its pre-rally state.

Market Updates: CoinGecko Reports 39% Drop in Q1 CEX Volumes, Arthur Hayes Discloses 90% Bitcoin Position, Key Researcher Josh Stark Exits Ethereum Foundation
A fresh analysis from CoinGecko indicates that the cryptocurrency market has entered a sustained “crypto winter” in the first quarter of 2026, reversing much of the momentum seen in late 2025.

According to the report, total crypto market capitalization declined by more than 20% in Q1 2026. Trading activity also weakened sharply. Spot volumes across the top 10 centralized exchanges dropped to $2.7 trillion in Q1, down from $4.5 trillion in the previous quarter, a steep 39% decline.

Bitcoin reflected this broader weakness, falling 22% over the same period. This came despite having reached an all-time high of roughly $126,000 six months earlier.

Notably, Bitcoin underperformed traditional equity markets during the same period. The NASDAQ Composite declined 7.1%, while the S&P 500 fell 4.8%, marking their weakest quarterly performance since 2022.

CoinGecko links the broader risk-off environment to a combination of geopolitical and monetary policy pressures. Market sentiment was dampened following US–Israeli strikes on Iran in February 2026.

Meanwhile, expectations of tighter monetary policy, associated with the nomination of Kevin Warsh, further weighed on risk assets.

All eyes on Bitcoin this weekend as Iran is already disputing the US narrative on the Hormuz deal

Bitcoin rallied hard after Iran said it was reopening the Strait of Hormuz to commercial shipping.

Bitcoin hit the highest level since February, oil prices dropped, Wall Street notched another record, and the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield slipped to 4.24%. But here’s the catch: markets acted as if the reopening had solved the core standoff between Washington and Tehran.

Iran's Friday announcement that the Strait of Hormuz would be opened during the current ceasefire triggered one of the sharpest oil reversals of the year.

Brent crude fell 12.95% to $86.52, and WTI dropped 14.26% to $81.19, both their lowest levels since Mar. 11 and the largest single-day declines since Apr. 8. US stocks surged, bond yields dropped, the dollar weakened, and Bitcoin registered an intraday high of $78,336.

Traders stripped the war premium they had spent weeks layering into crude prices, and risk assets repriced accordingly.

Yesterday, the Strait was opened on Iranian terms. Commercial vessels required authorization from Iran's Ports and Maritime Organization and the IRGC and had to transit through Iran-designated safe lanes, but the US blockade on Iranian shipping remains fully in place until a broader diplomatic settlement.

That window has already narrowed. As of Apr. 18, Iran said it had closed the Strait again after the US left its blockade in place, pushing the market back into a countdown toward the Apr. 22 ceasefire deadline.

Only eight oil and gas tankers moved during the reopening, underscoring how far the route remains from anything resembling normal traffic.
