Market Observation for Oct 5: Higher-beta themes stayed in favor, including $ARKG (+5.1%), $ARKK (+3.3%), $TQQQ (+2.6%), and crypto proxies like $GBTC (+1.7%).
That risk-on pocket extended into speculative areas like biotech and crypto proxies, including strong moves in $ARKG, $XBI, $BITO, and $GBTC over the last week. Breadth, however, was not broad-based.
