<p>On Tuesday, <strong>Avita Medical, Inc.</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RCEL#NASDAQ">RCEL</a>) revised its revenue guidance for the fourth quarter <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/g42862210/avita-medical-updates-expected-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-2024-revenue-provides-2025-financial-g" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">and full year of 2024</a>.</p>
<p>The regenerative medicine company adjusted its projections due to slower-than-expected purchasing by hospital accounts.</p>
<p>Avita, which specializes in wound care and skin restoration, anticipates fourth-quarter commercial revenue of approximately $18.4 million. It reflects a 30% year-over-year increase. However, this is below its earlier guidance of $22.3 million to $24.3 million and consensus of $23.14 million.</p>
<p>Full-year 2024 revenue is projected to be $64.3 million. That&#8217;s up 29% from 2023. However, it&#8217;s below the previously forecasted range of $68 million to $70 million and the consensus of $68.97 million.</p>
<p>Avita attributed the shortfall to year-end inventory adjustments by several hospital accounts, which delayed purchasing activity in December. CEO<strong> Jim Corbett</strong> expects normal purchasing patterns to resume in early 2025. Deferred sales will contribute to future quarters.</p>
<p>Despite the revised outlook, Avita Medical continued to expand its business in 2024. It launched new products and integrated an expanded sales team.</p>
<p>Key product launches included PermeaDerm, a transparent wound matrix, and RECELL GO, a next-generation device for wound treatment, along with its smaller version, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/12/g42660762/avita-medical-announces-fda-approval-of-recell-go-mini-optimizing-treatment-for-smaller-wounds" rel="noreferrer noopener">RECELL GO mini</a>.</p>
<p>In December, the company introduced Cohealyx, a collagen-based dermal matrix co-developed with Regenity Biosciences, which enhances its offerings for <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/12/g42605769/avita-medical-announces-fda-510-k-clearance-for-cohealyx-expanding-its-addressable-market" rel="noreferrer noopener">wound care solutions</a>.</p>
<p>Corbett emphasized the company&#8217;s progress in scaling its operations, stating, &#8220;We grew our revenue in 2024 by approximately 29% over the prior year. Our strategic investments in people and products position us for continued growth and success.&#8221;</p>
<p>Looking ahead, Avita provided financial guidance for 2025, projecting commercial revenue between $100 million and $106 million—a 55% to 65% increase from 2024 compared to the consensus of $105.68 million. The company also adjusted its timeline for achieving cash flow break-even and GAAP profitability to the fourth quarter of 2025, shifting from its previous forecast of the third quarter.</p>

Avita Medical Cuts Annual Sales Forecast On Softer Demand From Hospitals

<p>Wall Street began Wednesday with muted trading, as investors braced for the release of the December Federal Open Market Committee meeting minutes. During that meeting, policymakers delivered their third consecutive interest rate cut but struck a hawkish tone on inflation and the monetary<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/12/42563299/feds-powell-shocks-markets-its-a-new-phase-were-significantly-closer-to-neutral"> policy outlook for 2025.</a></p>
<p>By midday in New York, major indices were little moved, with sectors showing tight variations. Traders appear to be holding their breath as they await insight into the Fed's future policy direction.</p>
<p>President-elect <strong>Donald Trump</strong> emerged in the spotlight as CNN reported his team is considering an &#8220;economic emergency plan&#8221; that would bypass Congress to expedite the use of broad-based tariffs.</p>
<p>The dollar, meanwhile, surged further, continuing its relentless rally. The greenback is now targeting its sixth consecutive week of gains, having risen in 14 out of the last 15 weeks. U.S. Treasury yields ticked higher early in the session before easing slightly as traders adjusted positions ahead of the FOMC minutes.</p>
<p>On the economic front, the latest ADP private employment data showed weaker-than-expected job creation in December, potentially signaling a cooling labor market heading into the new year.</p>
<p>In commodities, gold rose 0.8%, buoyed by increasing geopolitical and trade uncertainties. On Tuesday, Trump floated a series of controversial proposals, including <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/events/25/01/42860583/trump-floats-canada-as-51st-us-state-says-hes-ready-to-use-economic-force-to-achieve-it">the annexation of Canada</a>, the purchase of Greenland from Denmark, threats to NATO allies to increase defense spending and imposing higher tariffs on Mexico.</p>
<p>The cryptocurrency market extended its decline, with <strong>Bitcoin</strong> (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) falling more than 2% to trade below $95,000. Over the past two sessions, the leading cryptocurrency has shed over 7% of its value, erasing most of its year-to-date gains.</p>

Expert Outlook: First Solar Through The Eyes Of 23 Analysts

iShares Dow Jones US Financial Sector Index Fund

CNBC Halftime Report Final Trades: Apollo Global Management, UnitedHealth Group, iShares U.S. Financial ETF, Boston Scientific

<p>Pseudonymous cryptocurrency analyst <strong>Ali Martinez </strong>has cautioned that <strong>Bitcoin </strong>(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) is vulnerable to a steep decline, citing a lack of substantial support <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/42874069/bitcoin-could-drop-as-low-as-75000-if-it-fills-this-liquidity-gap-expert-warns">below the $92,000 mark</a>.</p>
<p><strong>What Happened: </strong>Ali&#8217;s analysis, shared in a <a href="https://x.com/ali_charts/status/1877007033544724711">series</a> of tweets on Wednesday, indicates that a failure to hold this level could lead to a rapid price correction down to the $74,000−$78,000.</p>
<p>Bitcoin is trading at $93,950, down 3.5% over the last 24 hours. </p>
<p>Other major altcoins like <strong>Solana </strong>(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>), <strong>Dogecoin </strong>(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) and <strong>Cardano </strong>(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ada/usd">ADA</a>) are trading down 7.5% 8.5% and 11%, respectively.</p>
<p>This warning comes after Bitcoin broke below a key demand zone between $95,400 and $98,400, an area where 1.77 million addresses acquired more than 1.53 million BTC.</p>
<p>Ali pointed out that Bitcoin breached a head-and-shoulders pattern yesterday and invalidated the bearish setup.</p>
<p>A head-and-shoulders pattern is a bearish chart formation signaling a potential trend reversal, often predicting a decline in price.</p>
<p>However, he noted, that today&#8217;s price action has reversed these gains, pulling BTC back below the right shoulder and "reigniting bearish concerns".</p>
<p><strong>Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/42878368/xrp-etf-very-soon-likely-next-after-bitcoin-and-ethereum-ripple-president-says">XRP ETF &#8216;Very Soon,&#8217; Likely Next After Bitcoin And Ethereum, Ripple President Says</a></strong></p>
<p>Ali highlighted that the break below this key demand zone is concerning because, "These holders could now be forced to sell some BTC to cut potential losses."</p>
<p>He also previously warned that a dip below $92,730 would lead to "free fall territory" for Bitcoin.</p>
<p>According to Ali, if Bitcoin falls below $92,000 "a steep drop, with little support until $74,000" could be on the cards. </p>
<p>While technical indicators such as TD Sequential suggest a potential rebound in the short-term, and the trader also mentions that, "traders on Binance are leaning bullish on Bitcoin", Ali also indicated that the wider market conditions suggest a need for caution.</p>
<p>The TD Sequential is a technical analysis indicator that identifies potential trend exhaustion and reversal points in price charts.</p>
<p><strong>What&#8217;s Next: </strong>Ali suggested that a short-term move to $98,600 is possible.</p>
<p>However he also noted there is a $35 million liquidation zone around $98,600 and that "market makers may try to grab!" </p>
<p>Despite this, and for the bearish outlook to be invalidated, Ali stressed that Bitcoin "must reclaim $100,000 to invalidate the bearish outlook and set its sights on new all-time highs".</p>
