<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Coherent Stock In The Last 15 Years

In 2024, the cannabis landscape in the United States experienced some developments, though federal legalization or removal from the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/controlled-substances-act">Controlled Substances Act</a> (CSA) did not occur under the Biden administration, though that was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/11/41752800/kamala-harris-promises-to-legalize-recreational-marijuana-in-groundbreaking-instagram-post">promised to voters</a> on a regular basis.
&#8220;No one should be in jail for cannabis possession&#8221; was the refrain repeated by President <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/joe-biden">Joe Biden</a>, beginning with his March 2024 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/03/37552483/biden-calls-for-cannabis-reform-in-state-of-the-union-a-historic-first-no-one-should-be-jailed-f">State of the Union</a> — the first time marijuana was ever mentioned in such an illustrious political setting — all the way up to his mid-December 2024 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/24/12/42466804/biden-commutes-1500-sentences-grants-39-pardons-pot-prisoners-included-marks-single-day-record?adt_ei=%7b%7bemail%7d%7d&amp;he=%7b%7bemail%7d%7d">commutation of 1500 people</a> including a relatively small number of cannabis offenders.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Federal Rescheduling? Delay And More Delay</h2>
The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/05/38920897/infographic-deas-proposed-rules-for-marijuana-what-you-need-to-know">initiated a review </a>to reclassify cannabis from a Schedule I to a Schedule III substance under the CSA. This move, following August 2023 Biden-directed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/23/08/34126690/hhs-secretary-confirms-it-is-recommending-cannabis-be-rescheduled-per-bidens-directive">recommendations</a> from the Department of Health and Human Services, could have represented a historic shift in federal cannabis policy. But alas, it was never finalized. The move would have alleviate challenges related to taxation and research restrictions faced by the industry under the ongoing federal restrictions.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Congress, Where Are You?</h2>
Rep. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/earl-blumenauer">Earl Blumenauer</a> (D-OR), longtime cannabis reform advocate, said in a mid-December <a href="https://www.c-span.org/clip/public-affairs-event/user-clip-blumenauer-exit-interview-cannabis-legacy/5147106">C-Span interview</a> that Congress seems to be "trapped in time."
"My work on cannabis legalization and working to end the failed war on drugs is one of my greatest areas of satisfaction and one of my greatest disappointments," said Blumenauer who has been involved in cannabis reform since 1973 when he was an Oregon state legislator.
The incoming GOP-led Congress, at least so far, has not prioritized cannabis reform, thus diminishing prospects for supportive legislation.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">But There Were State-Level Legalization Initiatives</h2>
Several states presented cannabis-related measures during the November 2024 elections with mixed outcomes.
<ul>
<li>Nebraska: Voters <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/11/41764503/nebraska-says-yes-to-medical-cannabis-after-years-of-failed-legalization-attempts-heres-what-you">approved the legalization of medical cannabis</a>, marking a significant policy change in a state where cannabis was previously entirely illegal.</li>
<li>Florida: A well-funded campaign to legalize recreational marijuana <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/11/41763514/florida-rejects-cannabis-legalization-amendment-supported-by-trump-detested-by-desantis">failed to achieve</a> the required 60% supermajority, despite substantial financial backing and public support.</li>
<li>North Dakota and South Dakota: Both states <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/11/41765421/south-dakota-rejects-measure-29-cannabis-legalization-fails-again">rejected measures</a> to legalize recreational marijuana, reflecting ongoing resistance in certain regions.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How Did Market Dynamics Fair?</h2>
The cannabis market faced economic challenges throughout 2024, with many U.S. and Canadian companies experiencing significant <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/11/41793174/cannabis-stocks-collapse-after-trump-win-major-players-see-double-digit-declines-at-wednesdays-c">stock price declines</a>. Factors contributing to this downturn included regulatory uncertainties, taxation issues and competition from rampant illicit markets. 
Notably, AdvisorShares Pure US Cannabis ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSOS#NYSE">MSOS</a>) experienced a challenging 2024, with its stock price declining by approximately 48%, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/MSOS">noted</a> Benzinga PRO, indicating broader market struggles including the aforementioned regulatory challenges.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Public Perception And Usage – Some Positive News</h2>
Marijuana&#8217;s popularity continued to rise, with daily users in the U.S. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/05/38976556/daily-cannabis-consumption-outpaces-daily-alcohol-use-in-the-us-for-the-first-time-new-study-sho">surpassing alcohol consumers</a>. 
This shift is attributed to changing legal statuses, increased public awareness of marijuana&#8217;s health benefits and the general acceptance of marijuana as a benign substance, the consumption of which has never resulted in any reported deaths. 
Now we just need a bit more support for rescheduling and maybe even legalization.

Cannabis Reform 2024: The Year Of All Talk And No Action

Technology giant Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) could have an exciting 2025 ahead, a year that could include something new for its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/streaming">AppleTV+ streaming platform.</a>
What Happened: Apple is teasing that something special will happen for AppleTV+ on Jan. 4 through Jan. 5 with a tweet that says "stay tuned" with an image that says "see for yourself." 
The dates <a href="https://x.com/AppleTV/status/1872298393172865218">listed </a>&#8211; Jan 4 and 5 &#8211; happen to be a Saturday and Sunday, prompting rumors that Apple could be offering a free weekend preview of its content to non-subscribers.
Benzinga reached out to Apple for comment.
A report from <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2024/12/26/apple-tv-plus-january-teaser/">Macrumors </a>says speculation is that Apple will offer a free weekend preview of its content, but the post could also mean that it will just be showcasing a look at its upcoming TV shows and movies on those dates.
The report noted that Apple has never offered a free all-you-can-watch weekend event, which could show the importance of what the announcement truly means. AppleTV+ is $9.99 per month for up to six members with a free seven-day trial for new subscribers. Apple also offers a free three-month trial for people who buy new Apple devices.
The free trial often limits what content can be watched by non-subscribers.
Another possibility regarding the Apple post could be connected to a rumor earlier this year that the company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/07/40014040/apple-to-follow-netflix-disney-ad-supported-appletv-streaming-plan-could-launch-soon">could be launching</a> an ad-supported version of its streaming platform, following the lead of Netflix and Disney.
Apple previously had a $4.99 monthly subscription price. At $9.99 per month, AppleTV+ is one of the cheaper ad-free plans and the company could use the January dates highlighted to launch the new ad-supported plan.

Why It's Important: Launched in 2019, AppleTV+ has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/04/38024244/appletv-a-streaming-winner-new-survey-shows-platform-has-smallest-library-highest-rated-con">a smaller library </a>of movies and shows than larger streaming platforms like Netflix and Disney+.
Apple is investing in growth for the platform with several blockbuster movies getting theatrical releases and then exclusively playing on AppleTV+. It is also investing in media rights for sports like Major League Baseball games and the exclusive rights to Major League Soccer.
Top shows on the platform include "Shrinking," "Silo," "Slow Horses," "Severance," "Ted Lasso" and "Bad Sisters," according to <a href="https://tv.apple.com/us/collection/most-popular-now/uts.col.ChartsBlended">Apple</a>.
A highly anticipated second season of "Severance" is set to premiere on Jan. 17 making the Jan. 4 and 5 dates an important event ahead of one of its top show's new seasons.
"Wolfs," which starred George Clooney and Brad Pitt, became the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/10/41172851/apple-tv-scores-biggest-streaming-movie-in-history-thanks-to-george-clooney-brad-pitt">most watched movie </a>in AppleTV+ history recently. The movie saw a limited theatrical release, which may have left money on the table, while providing a boost to streaming viewership figures and potentially an uptick in subscribers.
Apple traditionally premieres its films in theaters first, helping to recover some of its costs while ensuring the movies are eligible for award shows that require a theatrical run. In contrast, Netflix often premieres its movies on the streaming platform and rarely shows its movies in theaters.
Apple finds itself in a difficult place with the need to spend more on content to boost subscribers, but also having less to spend on movies and content due to a smaller subscriber base. With the parent company a cash cow, Apple may be able to maintain losses for its streaming business if it chooses to, but could also push for a larger focus on profits.
AAPL Price Action: Apple stock is down 2% to $253.38 on Friday versus a 52-week trading range of $164.08 to $260.09. Apple stock is up 37% year-to-date in 2024.

Trader Notes: As Bitcoin slipped below the $95,000 mark, crypto chart analyst Ali Martinez <a href="https://x.com/ali_charts/status/1872670518329151893">warns</a> that a dip below $92,730 could lead to &#8220;essentially free-fall territory.&#8221;
Meanwhile, Cold Blooded Shiller highlights that Bitcoin is nearing a critical juncture, risking the loss of its green wave momentum since breaking out of the $60,000 consolidation phase.

Daan Crypto Trades describes Bitcoin as being in a choppy, range-bound state, noting little significant price movement over the past week. 
He <a href="https://x.com/DaanCrypto/status/1872595259370422289">highlights</a> the range high at $99,500 and the range low at $92,000 as key levels to watch, suggesting that trading within this range may not be worthwhile.
Chart analyst Jesse Olson observed that Bitcoin failed to deliver the anticipated Santa rally but did manage a Santa bounce, forming a lower high. 
He cautions that a daily candle close below approximately $94,850 would confirm a bearish shift, urging traders to monitor today's close for further direction

Bitcoin Dumps Below $95,000, Ethereum, XRP, Dogecoin Meander In Lackluster Friday Trading Session

Shares of CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRWD#NASDAQ">CRWD</a>) are trading down sharply on Friday. The move lower was triggered by news of insider selling.
The stock teaches an important technical analysis lesson. This is why it is our <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/stock-of-the-day">Stock of the Day</a>.
One of the most interesting and misunderstood dynamics of technical analysis is its fractal nature. This means the same patterns can be seen on charts of different timeframes.
In the stock market, there tends to be support at price levels that had been support previously. This is because of psychology. It is due to remorseful sellers.
These are people who sold shares while the stock was at support that regretted doing so when the price rallied soon after. Many of them decide to buy their shares back if they can get them at the same price they were sold for.
As a result, when the price drops back to the level that was support, they place buy orders. If there are enough of these buy orders it will form support at the level again.

As you can see on the 4-month chart, there has been support around the $345.00 level for CrowdStrike. This is a graphical illustration of the sellers' remorse of swing traders. These traders typically have time horizons of a few weeks or months.

4-month chart
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">One-Day Chart</h2>
The same type of action can be seen on a one-day chart. The $350.00 has been support. This is a graphical illustration of sellers' remorse of traders that have short-term time horizons. This support was created by day traders.

Technical analysis has a dubious reputation on Wall Street. This shouldn't be surprising. Many analysts don't understand some of the basic principles.
If understood and applied correctly, technical analysis is the study of investor and trader psychology. Charts are graphical illustrations of this psychology.
Regardless of the timeframe of a strategy that is being traded, the people who are doing the trading experience the same emotions. These are what appear on charts. This is why the same patterns appear of charts that have different time horizons.

Castellum, Viracta Therapeutics And 3 Stocks To Watch Heading Into Friday (CORRECTED)

<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/artificial-intelligence" rel="noreferrer noopener">Artificial intelligence</a> server company Super Micro Computer Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>) and Taiwan&#8217;s Guo Rui announced on Wednesday their plans to establish a renewable-energy-powered computation center in Taiwan, the Taipei Times <a target="_blank" href="https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/archives/2024/12/27/2003829207" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.
Following discussions with Supermicro founder Charles Liang and Guo Rui chairman Lin Po-wen, Premier Cho Jung-tai instructed the formation of a cross-ministerial task force to promote renewable energy and facilitate land acquisition for green power projects, Executive Yuan spokesperson Michelle Lee told the TT.
In a separate announcement to the TT, Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) revealed plans to establish a secondary headquarters in Taiwan, matching the scale of its Silicon Valley operations.

National Development Council Minister Paul Liu highlighted to TT Taiwan&#8217;s robust talent pool, infrastructure, and proximity to supply chains as key factors that could contribute towards the country becoming a global hub for AI development.
Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an and New Taipei City Mayor Hou You-yi expressed their commitment to attracting Nvidia&#8217;s new headquarters to the TT.
New Taipei City offered a portfolio of potential sites and incentives to secure the investment. Supermicro is also a key Nvidia client.

The first plant will likely start commercializing by 2025 or a year later.

In the current geopolitical scenario, President Joe Biden <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41087959/us-boosts-taiwans-military-with-567m-defense-support-as-china-concerns-mount" rel="noreferrer noopener">approved $567 million</a> in defense aid for Taiwan in September, strengthening its military capabilities as tensions with China intensified.
