Today, it&#8217;s rebounding and testing former support levels, which now act as resistance. 
If resistance holds, further downside is likely. However, reclaiming these levels could signal a bullish reversal.

Brera Holdings Shares Halted On Circuit Breaker To The Upside, Stock Now Up 118.4%

Shares of FedEx Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FDX#NYSE">FDX</a>) are trading lower Tuesday. The stock is continuing the downtrend that began on Dec. 19 when, after the close, the company announced earnings and said it plans to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42623222/whats-going-on-with-fedex-stock-friday">separate its Freight Unit.</a>
The chart of FedEx shows some classic examples of what traders refer to as &#8220;bad action.&#8221; This is why our team of technical analysts has made it our Stock of the Day.
Action is something that can't be quantified. For example, if a company beats earnings and the stock moves down, it would be considered &#8220;bad action.&#8221; If a company misses earnings and the stock goes up it could be considered &#8220;good action.&#8221;
On Dec. 20, FedEx stock opened about $20 higher than the previous day's close. Traders and investors thought the news and earnings were bullish.
But by the close, the sellers overpowered the buyers. The shares reversed and gave back all of their gains. This was &#8220;weak action&#8221; that showed the bears were in charge.

As you can see on the chart, FedEx broke the support that was at the $275 level. This was another example of &#8220;bad action.&#8221;
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="554" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/24115534/fdx-1024x554.png" alt="" class="wp-image-706297" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/24115534/fdx-1024x554.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/24115534/fdx-300x162.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/24115534/fdx-768x415.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/24115534/fdx.png 1488w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
There tends to be support at prices that have been resistance. This happens because some people who sold at the resistance regretted doing so when the price eventually moved higher. They decide they will buy their shares back at the same price they were sold for if they can.
So, when the stock fell back to $275, they placed buy orders. This concentration of buy orders caused support to form.
But the support was only intact for 3 days. There were more sell orders than buy orders, which made the support break and resulted in another move lower.
The fact that there has been no rebound or bounce back is a third sign of &#8220;bad action.&#8221;
Typically, if a stock makes a large move lower, it is followed by some rebound or bounce, even though it may be small. If this doesn't happen, it shows that buyers are not entering the market, and the sellers are still in charge.
There is a good chance FedEx continues to head lower.

Meta Description: Amazon founder and tech titan Jeff Bezos saved nearly $1 billion in state taxes by relocating from Seattle to his billionaire bunker in Florida.
For most people, deciding where to live comes down to factors like affordability and access to employment. Then again, billionaires like<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/analyst-ratings/24/12/42300654/navigating-50-analyst-ratings-for-amazon-com"> Amazon</a> founder Jeff Bezos aren't most people. Although Bezos has the money to live wherever he wants, many people suspect finances played a role in his decision to relocate to the infamous "billionaire bunker" in 2024. Keep reading to learn why that move may have saved<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/42254596/jeff-bezos-acts-like-he-owns-the-elite-neighborhood-he-lives-in-but-residents-say-hes-not-much-of-a-neighbor"> Jeff Bezos</a> almost $1 billion in taxes.
Like many billionaires, Jeff Bezos' life has become the subject of intense public speculation. Almost every move Bezos makes becomes news and his announcement in late 2023 that he would relocate to Florida is no exception. Bezos announced the move on his Instagram page, listing several motivating factors, including being closer to his parents and his fledgling aerospace company, Blue Origin.

</ul>
Bezos moved from Seattle, where he had lived for many years, to Indian Creek Village in early 2024. Indian Creek Village is an exclusive community outside of Miami known as the "billionaire bunker." Business Insider describes this as more than just a swanky gated community. It is its own city, with only 89 residents and a police department whose sole job is keeping nonresidents out.
Indian Creek Village is a private island and the only way in is to cross a bridge patrolled by its Police Department. The same department has a fleet of boats and aggressively patrols the surrounding waters. Even Before Bezos moved in, Indian Creek Village was home to an ultraexclusive crowd that included Tom Brady, Ivanka Trump and Carl Icahn. It's even rumored that the Emir of Qatar has a place there.

This explains why most of the media attention revolved around the sheer size of Bezos' acquisitions. He didn't just buy one place on the island; he bought three. According to an article in the Robb Report, Bezos spent almost $250 million on them. Ownership of the three properties gives Bezos control over 7.5% of Indian Creek Village's 40 residences.
It's not hard to imagine why Indian Creek Village's combination of exclusivity and privacy would appeal to someone like Jeff Bezos. However, astute financial observers began to speculate on another reason for Bezos' abrupt move from Washington to Florida. Forbes magazine has reported that Bezos has sold nearly $13.6 billion in Amazon stock since moving to Indian Creek Village.
Washington&#8217;s capital gains tax law taxes capital gains over $250,000 at 7%. Florida, by contrast, doesn't tax income or capital gains. Forbes estimates Bezos would have owed about $954 million to the state of Washington if he had still been living in Seattle when he sold his Amazon stock. Looking at it that way, spending $250 million on property saved Jeff Bezos $700 million.

How Jeff Bezos Knocked $1 Billion Off His Tax Bill By Moving To His Infamous "Billionaire Bunker"

In the current session, TotalEnergies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TTE#NYSE">TTE</a>) is trading at $54.07, after a 0.35% drop. Over the past month, the stock fell by 6.03%, and in the past year, by 20.89%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are more likely to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1735059607_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Evaluating TotalEnergies P/E in Comparison to Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 13.72 in the Oil, Gas &amp; Consumable Fuels industry, TotalEnergies Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 7.65. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1735059607_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

Achilles Therapeutics Announces $12M AstraZeneca Deal, Plans Job Cuts

Palantir Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) shares are hitting new highs on Tuesday. Here&#8217;s a look at <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42668157/stanley-druckenmiller-dumps-streets-hottest-ai-stocks-heres-what-the-billionaire-investor-is-betting-on-next">what&#8217;s going on</a>. 
What To Know: Palantir shares are up more than 380% since the start of the year, driven largely by the company&#8217;s positioning in the AI space. 
The rally in Palantir shares accelerated at the beginning of November after the company reported&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/41730179/palantir-q3-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-customers-up-39-raises-guidance-results-driven-by-unrele" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">strong quarterly results</a>&nbsp;driven by&nbsp;&#8220;unrelenting&#8221; AI demand.&nbsp;

&#8220;The growth of our business is accelerating, and our financial performance is exceeding expectations as we meet an unwavering demand for the most advanced artificial intelligence technologies from our U.S. government and commercial customers,"&nbsp;Alex Karp, co-founder and CEO of Palantir, said in a letter to shareholders last month.

Over the weekend, the Financial Times <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/6cfdfe2b-6872-4963-bde8-dc6c43be5093">reported</a> that Palantir and defense technology company Anduril are communicating with several competitors about the potential of forming a consortium to make a joint bid on U.S. government contracts.
The report indicates that SpaceX and OpenAI are among the companies in talks to join. The group is planning to announce itself publicly as soon as January, people with knowledge of the matter said. 
"We are working together to provide a new generation of defense contractors," one person involved in organizing the group reportedly said. 
The Financial Times further reported that tie-ups between some tech groups expected to be involved with the consortium have already started. Palantir&#8217;s AI platform was integrated with Anduril&#8217;s autonomous software earlier this month and Anduril has linked its counter-drone systems with OpenAI models.
Palantir announced last week that it extended its long-standing partnership with the U.S. Army&nbsp;through 2028. The four-year agreement extension is valued at more than $400 million and has a total available ceiling of approximately $619 million. 
By leveraging Palantir&#8217;s software, the U.S. Army is able to create AI-enabled data solutions to analyze information from multiple data sources, enabling operational efficiencies and optimizing business processes.

Palantir Stock Is Trading At All-Time Highs: What's Going On?

The Biden administration withdrew two major student loan forgiveness plans Friday, just weeks before President-elect Donald Trump returns to the White House. Here's a look at what it means for borrowers and student <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42635567/biden-student-loan-forgiveness-tops-180-billion-with-latest-relief">loan service providers.</a> 
The Details: The Education Department posted notices in the Federal Register that it was withdrawing two proposals that could have reduced student loan debt for millions of borrowers, including those with financial hardship and those who have been in repayment for years, CNBC reported.

The department wrote that it was withdrawing the proposed rules due to "operational challenges in implementing the proposals." It also said it would focus its resources on "helping at-risk borrowers return to repayment successfully" as the administration prepares to leave office in the next month.&nbsp;
"The Biden administration knew that the proposals for broad student loan forgiveness would have been thwarted by the Trump administration," higher education expert Mark Kantrowitz<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/12/23/student-loan-forgiveness-plans-withdrawn-by-biden-administration.html"> told</a> CNBC.&nbsp;
What Else: Also on Friday, the Department of Education announced another $4.28 billion in<a href="https://www.ed.gov/about/news/press-release/biden-harris-administration-approves-additional-428-billion-student-debt-relief-nearly-55000-public-service-workers-0"> loan forgiveness</a> for nearly<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/student-debt"> 55,000 public service workers</a> which brought the total amount of student loan forgiveness under the Biden administration to $180 billion.
Education Secretary Miguel Cardona emphasized the administration's commitment to student loan relief for public service workers in a statement Friday. 
"Four years ago, the Biden-Harris Administration made a pledge to America&#8217;s teachers, service members, nurses, first responders, and other public servants that we would fix the broken Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program, and I&#8217;m proud to say that we delivered," Cardona said.
Loan Servicers: The administration's withdrawal of the additional loan forgiveness proposals is potentially a positive development for student loan providers including SoFi Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOFI#NASDAQ">SOFI</a>), Navient Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NAVI#NASDAQ">NAVI</a>) and SLM Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLM#NASDAQ">SLM</a>)&nbsp;
Student loan providers would have lost revenue if Biden's student loan forgiveness plans had gone through. 
Additionally, the rollout of forgiveness programs often requires servicers to update systems, retrain staff and manage complex transitions, all of which would increase expenses.

Over the past year, OpenAI has dropped not-so-subtle hints about its revived interest in robotics: investing in startups developing hardware and software for robots such as Figure and Physical Intelligence and rebooting its internal robotics software team, which it had disbanded four years ago. Now, OpenAI could be taking that interest to the next level. The company has recently considered developing a humanoid robot, according to two people with direct knowledge of the discussions. &nbsp;As a refresher, humanoid robots typically have two arms and two legs, distinguishing them from typical robots in a warehouse or factory that might have a single arm repeatedly performing the same task on an assembly line. Developers of humanoid robots think it will be easier for them to handle tasks in the physical world—which is tailored to humans—than it would be to change our physical environments to suit new robots. Don't get too excited yet, though: Any potential humanoid robot seems to be a lower priority for OpenAI than a number of its other technologies and products, such as its highly praised reasoning models and an agent that could help automate all manner of software engineering and analysis tasks, one of these people said.

According to widely-followed crypto influencer &#8216;artchick,&#8217; Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) and Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/shib/usd">SHIB</a>) will not be the main meme coin <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/bitcoin-price-prediction">beneficiaries of a rally</a>.
The influencer&#8217;s forecast hinges on Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) maintaining its momentum and Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) and Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>) outperforming. 
Her top five include Pepe (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">PEPE</a>) with a $1 trillion target, Mog (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">MOG</a>) at $200 billion, Popcat (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">POPCAT</a>) and Bonk (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">BONK</a>) at $25 billion each. Among the newer entrant, Goatseus Maximus (CRYPTO: GOAT), Fartcoin also made it to the list. Artchick also added Dogwifhat (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">WIF</a>) with $25 billion price target to the list.
She says that while these valuations might feel absurd right now, crypto isn't operating on "normal cycles" anymore. "We're nearing escape velocity", and the market dynamics are evolving rapidly.
While ETH and SOL face inflation and execution risks, the meme coins traded on these chains are inherently different—they're pure, antifragile digital assets. 
By late 2025, the trader <a href="https://x.com/digitalartchick/status/1871365793596035105">believes</a> they'll be among the most sought after and resilient asset classes ever created.

Artchick emphasizes that meme coin investing requires careful position sizing to endure high volatility and sharp drawdowns. She explains: &#8220;If you're overexposed, you're not going to make it. Volatility and shakeouts strengthen these memes. See you at the top.&#8221;
Her analysis suggests meme coins could emerge as one of the most resilient and sought-after digital asset classes by 2025.
