Expert Outlook: First Solar Through The Eyes Of 23 Analysts

News

Trading Ideas

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

Pseudonymous cryptocurrency analyst Ali Martinez has cautioned that Bitcoin (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>.
What Happened: 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.
Bitcoin is trading at $93,950, down 3.5% over the last 24 hours. 
Other major altcoins like Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>), Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) and Cardano (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ada/usd">ADA</a>) are trading down 7.5% 8.5% and 11%, respectively.
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.
Ali pointed out that Bitcoin breached a head-and-shoulders pattern yesterday and invalidated the bearish setup.
A head-and-shoulders pattern is a bearish chart formation signaling a potential trend reversal, often predicting a decline in price.
However, he noted, that today&#8217;s price action has reversed these gains, pulling BTC back below the right shoulder and "reigniting bearish concerns".

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."
He also previously warned that a dip below $92,730 would lead to "free fall territory" for Bitcoin.
According to Ali, if Bitcoin falls below $92,000 "a steep drop, with little support until $74,000" could be on the cards. 
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.
The TD Sequential is a technical analysis indicator that identifies potential trend exhaustion and reversal points in price charts.
What&#8217;s Next: Ali suggested that a short-term move to $98,600 is possible.
However he also noted there is a $35 million liquidation zone around $98,600 and that "market makers may try to grab!" 
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".

Demystifying Netstreit: Insights From 5 Analyst Reviews

According to trading platform Autopilot, Nancy Pelosi's stock tracker took the financial world by storm in 2024, delivering a jaw-dropping 54% gain and outshining nearly every hedge fund. Remarkably, it even beat the Inverse Cramer Stock Tracker, designed to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/specialty-etfs/24/01/36793492/exclusive-inverse-cramer-etf-shuts-down-how-the-magnificent-7-stocks-factor-in-and-a-broken-c">do the opposite</a> of Jim Cramer's stock picks, which itself posted an impressive 43% gain in 2024. While the result seems almost mythical, it shows the growing fascination with lawmakers' trading disclosures and the investment strategies built around them.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Pelosi's Portfolio Matters</h2>
The former Speaker of the House of Representatives' impressive results are highly controversial and we only know about them because of the information made public through the STOCK Act, passed in 2012. This law requires members of Congress to share details about any <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/what-stocks-does-nancy-pelosi-own">stock trades</a> worth over $1,000 within 30 to 45 days. The goal of the law was to stop insider trading and make things more transparent. And while that hasn&#8217;t exactly happened, the disclosures have inspired investors to copy lawmakers' trades.
Platforms like Unusual Whales have popularized the concept and ETFs such as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NANC/short-interest">NANC</a> (tracking Democratic lawmakers) and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/KRUZ">KRUZ</a> (tracking Republicans) were developed to model congressional trading strategies.&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Hedge Funds Left in the Dust</h2>
While hedge funds often prioritize consistent returns and risk management over sheer market outperformance, their 2024 results pale compared to Pelosi's tracker, as they averaged a 10.7% return, according to PivotalPath. Here are some notable examples:
<ul>
<li>Light Street Capital: 59.4% (a rare exception that exceeded Pelosi's gains)</li>
<li>Discovery Capital: 52%</li>
<li>D.E. Shaw – Oculus: 36.1%</li>
<li>Schonfeld Strategic Partners: 19.7%</li>
<li>Citadel Wellington: 15.1%</li>
<li>Millennium Management: 15%</li>
<li>Marshall Wace Eureka Fund: 14.3%</li>
</ul>
With their intricate strategies, such as arbitrage and shorting, hedge funds aim to deliver stability rather than massive returns, but Pelosi's tracker showed that bold moves often reap bigger rewards.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Lawmaker Trades</h2>
The STOCK Act's public disclosures have created an unexpected byproduct: a booming industry around "political trading." The CEO of Unusual Whales told NPR that interest in lawmakers' trades skyrocketed during the COVID-19 pandemic, with viral social media posts highlighting notable trades. Since then, ETFs and platforms based on these trades have gained traction, allowing investors to replicate congressional strategies.

While these tools are legal, critics argue that the STOCK Act has failed to stop lawmakers from benefiting from inside information. Instead, it has turned their trades into a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/07/40038521/copying-congress-the-bizarre-world-of-political-stock-picking-funds">guide for others to profit</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Calls for Reform Grow Louder</h2>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/11/41850071/someone-asked-nancy-pelosi-the-greatest-options-trader-of-all-time-what-stocks-to-buy-to-her-face-it-went-exactly-as-youd-imagine">Public pressure</a> to reform congressional trading practices has intensified and <a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/senate-bill/1171">proposals</a> like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/07/39940279/senate-committee-approves-congress-stock-trading-ban-whats-next">the ETHICS Act would ban lawmakers</a> and their families from trading individual stocks altogether. However, progress on these reforms has been slow, with some lawmakers saying it might discourage people from entering public service.
Supporters of reforms believe these changes would help people trust Congress more and even small adjustments, like requiring same-day disclosures of trades, could make a big difference in accountability and transparency.
Tools like the Pelosi Tracker shine a spotlight on congressional trading and reveal deeper issues about trust and ethics in public institutions. While products like NANC and KRUZ offer a clever way to profit from lawmakers' trades, they also stress the need for comprehensive reform.

Trading Halt: Halt status updated at 12:55:00 PM ET: Quotation Resumption: News and Resumption Times

Over the next few days the CES 2025 tech show will be happening, with traders watching NVDA's events and presentations especially closely. It's without a doubt going to have a major impact upon NVDA's stock performance for weeks to come.
It's hard not to marvel at the potential for UBER and NVDA to partner in the automotive space, and not to think "bullish" when you see all the new technologies being revealed.
But my PFP (positioning, flows and price action) system tells a tale that can't be ignored. Let's dive into it.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Options Positioning in $NVDA</h2>
Heading into the event on Tuesday, we had the 140 TGS (top gamma strike) which is our first layer of support, with 145 and 150 standing out as major resistance levels, and a lot less fuel above 150.
I commented on the push above 150 yesterday during our live Benzinga Option School that I didn't think it would hold above 150 for long. This is simply because a) there was little positional fuel above 150, b) traders were selling calls hand over fist above 150 (up to 160) and c) only shares were buying heavily yesterday above 150.
What this translates to me is it will be hard for NVDA to retain gains above 150 or past 160 short term (without a major CES bullish catalyst). For it to be comfortable (as of this writing around 1:10PM Eastern on Tuesday) near the 140 TGS is not surprising. But what happens if it loses 140 today or in overnight action?
Simply put, below 140, puts are in control and that puts 135 and 130 into focus. Below that there is very little fuel for continued downside.
Thus, option positioning in NVDA is forecasting a high (post-CES) of 160 and a low of 130 with a solid chance of aggregating around the TGS at 140.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Price Action in $NVDA</h2>
Looking at the 5-minute chart below in NVDA over the last few sessions, we've seen solid gains on Friday and Monday ahead of CES, but impulsive selling today for most of the session with only a corrective bounce once the European session closed.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="502" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/08124356/NVDA_2025-01-07_11-15-44-1024x502.png" alt="" class="wp-image-724607" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/08124356/NVDA_2025-01-07_11-15-44-1024x502.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/08124356/NVDA_2025-01-07_11-15-44-300x147.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/08124356/NVDA_2025-01-07_11-15-44-768x377.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/08124356/NVDA_2025-01-07_11-15-44-1536x753.png 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/08124356/NVDA_2025-01-07_11-15-44.png 1835w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
The impulsive selling to start the session and corrective bounce suggests that from a price action perspective, there is likely more downside action unless we get a bullish catalyst from CES soon. We could see it bouncing to the session VWAP around 145, but any corrective bounces should be met with more selling.
What this is translating to is a less than enthusiastic short-term reaction from CES thus far.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Flows in $NVDA</h2>
This is the most interesting, and in my opinion, contradictory part of NVDA's story today. I'd also like to note it was the opposite in terms of flows yesterday, so I've been witnessing a different story the last two days from the options market and shares market.
On Tuesday, shortly before the European close (11am Eastern), I noticed a strong surge in call buying/positive deltas while puts remained consistently long puts. Normally positive deltas suggest call buying and thus should lift the stock. This is why we have to tie in the story for Monday as well.
For Monday, I saw call selling (bearish) along with an almost similar amount of put buying (bearish).
What we take from this is the call buying/positive deltas on the day are the short calls being closed today (thus via long calls) as the juice/credit had been pulled out from today's selloff.
What is also interesting is that despite the bearish option flows on Monday, the stock gained until the last two hours of trading. This suggests the gains were due to share buying, not options. Today (Tuesday), traders are not piling on massive bearish bets, so today, I think shares are being dumped en masse, thus the options flow has been discordant with the share flow over the last two sessions.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How We're Trading $NVDA</h2>
I'd like to see how the market closes on the day before making a trade on NVDA. If we can recover 145, then there is some hope for a push back into 150 by tomorrow. But if we get another impulsive leg down, then I think 140 is on deck. What I'd really like to see is how the positioning changes after Tuesday, which will be accounted for in our data models between 12-3am Eastern. Hence, on Wednesday morning, we'll see which strikes gained/lost as a result of CES on Tuesday, and thus where bulls and bears think NVDA is going next.
Overall, the response has been underwhelming from a PFP perspective, thus we're looking to sell rallies with corrective moves into resistance targeting 140. But we're open to 140 providing a strong bounce should it hold today and share buyers step in.
Because of the high IV premium from the event, we suggest not trading single legs as the IV drain will be significant. We recommend trading spreads to reduce IV risk or potentially BWB's (broken wing butterflies) which both reduces IV risk, but also takes advantage of it.

Opinion

How to Trade NVDA This Week

The U.S. reported its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/01/42854890/us-records-first-human-bird-flu-death-high-levels-of-respiratory-illnesses-vaccine-stocks-rally">first human death</a> from the H5 bird flu strain this week, causing a spike in vaccine developer stocks Moderna (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRNA#NASDAQ">MRNA</a>), Novavax (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVAX#NASDAQ">NVAX</a>), CureVac (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVAC#NASDAQ">CVAC</a>) and Pfizer (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PFE#NYSE">PFE</a>).
Vaccine production efforts are ramping up as health officials monitor the outbreak closely. In<a href="https://www.cdc.gov/bird-flu/situation-summary/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> an update </a>on Monday, CDC said there have been 66 confirmed cases in the U.S. in the 2024 outbreak. 
CDC said the public risk remains low. Bird flu has severely impacted poultry farms and cattle herds across 16 states, marking the worst outbreak of its kind.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Vaccine Providers in the Limelight</h3>
In the U.S., vaccines against H5N1 are already stockpiled. Approved shots include those from Sanofi (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNY#NASDAQ">SNY</a>), CSL Seqirus, and ID Biomedical Corporation of Quebec, a subsidiary of GlaxoSmithKline (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GSK#NYSE">GSK</a>), which collectively secured $72 million in funding from the U.S. health department in October to boost the production of bird flu vaccines. These traditional vaccines, developed years ago, target older H5N1 strains but are expected to offer some protection.
Moderna, backed by $176 million from the U.S. government's BARDA, is working on an updated mRNA H5N1 vaccine. Other players, including Pfizer and GSK (in collaboration with CureVac), are testing similar candidates.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">ETFs in Focus</h3>
For investors who want to play the trend but are wary of choosing individual biotech stocks, here are three ETFs that offer diversified exposure to the biotech companies leading the vaccine efforts. With a mix of traditional and mRNA vaccine developers in focus, these funds could benefit as the world prepares for a potential bird flu pandemic.
iShares Genomics Immunology and Healthcare ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IDNA#NYSE">IDNA</a>) tracks the NYSE FactSet Global Genomics and Immuno Biopharma Index, and has already gained 2.5% so far this year. The fund has an expense ratio of 0.47%, and $129.97 million in assets under management (AUM). The fund has currently invested 4.48% of its assets in Moderna. Sanofi, GSK and Novavax are also part of its portfolio of 51 equity holdings.
First Trust Nasdaq Pharmaceuticals ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FTXH#NASDAQ">FTXH</a>) derives its investment strategy from the Nasdaq US Benchmark Index, and has an expense ratio of 0.60%. Pfizer is one of its top holdings, with 7.28% of assets allocated to it.
SPDR S&amp;P Biotech ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XBI#NYSE">XBI</a>) mirrors the S&amp;P&nbsp;Biotechnology Select Industry&nbsp;Index, and charges a 0.35% expense ratio. Out of its present AUM of $6.37 billion, Moderna holds 2.58%. Almost 100% of its holdings are exposed to the biotechnology sector, with only about 0.04% invested in the pharmaceutical sector.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Bird Flu Menace </h3>
The bird flu scare in humans ratcheted higher in late 2024 when a 13-year-old girl in Canada fell critically ill with H5N1 and required a ventilator. Around the same time, the U.S. reported its first severe case in an elderly patient in Louisiana.
Health experts warn that vigilance is key to preventing mutations that could trigger a pandemic. While the technology to develop vaccines quickly is available, governments may need to fund large-scale clinical trials in advance to ensure rapid distribution in case of a health emergency.
