The index added 0.8% and ended at 14,253.27 – a record close. The S&P 500 came within shouting distance of a closing record, gaining 0.5%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average added 68.61 points to finish at 33,945.58.   Indeed, Facebook rose 2%, while Netflix climbed nearly 2.4%. Amazon, Apple and Microsoft advanced more than 1%. Drama unfolded in the cryptocurrency sphere as bitcoin started the day with a slide below its key threshold of $30,000. At one point, the digital currency turned negative for the year before recovering and jumping to about $32,700 as of 6:13 p.m. ET. It's a far cry from rosier times in April when bitcoin touched an all-time high of over $64,000. Strategists perceive the recent slump as a short-term worry, rather than a threat to its long-term prospects – provided investors can stomach the ride. "It would be very hard for people to find another general, multidecade story outside digital assets. So, as much as 2021 feels like a terrible year for crypto investors … this is kind of noise, and it's a great buying opportunity," Fundstrat's Tom Lee told CNBC's "Tech Check" on Tuesday.
