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.

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.

Rigetti Computing Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RGTI#NASDAQ">RGTI</a>): For a second straight week, quantum computing stocks are among the most searched and seeing the largest increase in interest from Benzinga readers. 
Rigetti Computing leads the way in interest, which comes as the company recently announced the launch of the 84-qubit Ankaa-3 quantum computer. The computer is offered through Rigetti Quantum Cloud Services and will be available on Microsoft Azure and Amazon Bracket in the first quarter of 2025. 
Rigetti also plans to launch a 36-qubit system by mid-2025 and to unveil a system exceeding 100 qubits by the end of 2025.
"We are extremely confident in our ability to deliver on our roadmap and performance goals," Rigetti CEO Dr. Subodh Kulkarni said.
Some investors, including Citron Research, remain skeptical after the large increase in valuation for quantum computing connected companies based on Google's recent quantum computing news.
"Buying $RGTI based on Google&#8217;s quantum success is as misguided as believing every TikTok guitarist is the next Taylor Swift," Citron Research tweeted.
Here's a look at Rigettti shares over the past five days with a gain of over 100%. The stock is up over 1,700% year-to-date.

GameStop Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>): While GameStop stock doesn't fly under the radar much anymore these days, the stock saw a surge in interest during the week, likely due <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/12/42679610/roaring-kittys-christmas-post-has-gamestop-rallying-7-in-overnight-trading-memecoin-connected-to-trader-also-surge">to a new tweet</a> from investor Roaring Kitty, aka Keith Gill.
On Christmas, Gill shared on X a picture of a present, the second tweet from the Roaring Kitty account in December following several months of silence. In the tweet on Dec. 5, the Roaring Kitty X account<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/24/12/42349100/gamestop-rockets-as-roaring-kitty-returns-to-x-what-does-his-tweet-signal-ahead-of-q3-earnings"> shared a TIME magazine cover</a> with a computer with a video screen. The video is paused at the 1:09 minute mark, which could point to Jan. 9 as a clue.
GameStop reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/24/12/42425015/gamestop-q3-earnings-revenue-miss-4b-cash-no-more-offerings-planned-in-fiscal-year">quarterly financial results </a>earlier this month and investors will have to wait months to hear about the holiday shopping season.

Axon Enterprises (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AXON#NASDAQ">AXON</a>): The weapons and cloud-based digital evidence company rejoins the Stock Whisper Index, marking two appearances over the past two months. 
The stock saw strong interest from readers as it <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/12/42503776/weapon-maker-axon-shares-rise-in-monday-pre-market-whats-going-on">was recently added </a>to the Nasdaq-100 Index, which is tracked by the Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>). Launched in 1985, the Nasdaq-100 Index is a leading benchmark for non-financial companies listed on the Nasdaq. Axon, Palantir and MicroStrategy were the latest additions to the Nasdaq-100.
Axon's third-quarter revenue and earnings per share beat Street consensus estimates. The quarter continued a streak of consecutive quarters of beating analyst estimates, which now stands at 10 for both revenue and earnings per share. Axon also shared revenue guidance for the fourth quarter with an expected range of $560 million to $570 million, ahead of a Street estimate of $523 million.
Analysts&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AXON/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">raised price targets</a>&nbsp;on Axon after the recent third-quarter earnings and the 2024 election. Northland maintained an Outperform rating and raised the price target from $365 to $550, Needham maintained a Buy rating and raised the price target from $525 to $600 and Baird maintained an Outperform rating and raised the price target from $460 to $600.

Comcast Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMCSA#NASDAQ">CMCSA</a>): The media and cable company had a strong 2024 at the box office, which may be one reason why investors are paying more attention to the stock. 
Comcast had <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42603589/disney-hits-2-billion-domestic-box-office-wins-top-honors-global-box-office-2025-to-grow-8-to-33b-analyst-says">three of the top 10</a> grossing movies domestically in 2024 with "Wicked," "Twisters" and "Kung Fu Panda 4" ranking third, eighth and tenth, respectively. "Wicked" has earned critical praise and was nominated for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/12/42395178/golden-globes-2025-nominations-netflix-scores-nods-for-emilia-perez-and-squid-game-comcast-lands-4-wicked-noms">multiple Golden Globe awards</a>. Comcast's Universal brand received an A- score from Variety for 2024 thanks to the movies in the top 10 and "The Wild Robot," which grossed over $300 million worldwide.
&#8220;Universal pulled off the seemingly impossible: Making musicals seem cool to moviegoers,&#8221; Variety writes of the success of &#8220;Wicked.&#8221;
Comcast reports fourth-quarter financial results on Jan. 30, which could provide a look at how the company's Peacock streaming platform and other segments are doing.<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/12/42563662/streamers-max-paramount-won-november-heres-why-analyst-expects-netflix-amazon-to-win-december"> Recent data showed</a> November Peacock downloads up 31% month-over-month, which could be due to the platform premiere of "Twisters" and 2024 election day coverage.
The media company will likely highlight its 2025 slate of movies during the quarterly financial results, which includes "Jurassic World Rebirth" and "Wicked: For Good."

Benzinga's 'Stock Whisper' Index: 5 Stocks Investors Secretly Monitor But Don't Talk About Yet

Montenegro&#8217;s Minister of Justice, Bojan Božović on Friday authorized the extradition of Terraform Labs co-founder Do Kwon to the United States, concluding months of legal wrangling over competing extradition requests from the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/08/40121915/us-loses-out-to-south-korea-over-extradition-of-terraform-labs-do-kwon">U.S. and South Korea</a>.
What Happened: The <a href="https://www.gov.me/clanak/do-kwon-ce-biti-izrucen-sad-u">ruling</a> follows a decision earlier this week by Montenegro's Constitutional Court, which denied Kwon's appeal against a September Supreme Court decision.
That decision nullified his transfer to South Korea and delegated the final extradition decision to the justice minister.
In its announcement, the Ministry of Justice stated that it had reviewed all relevant factors, including the gravity of the alleged offenses, the location where the crimes were committed and the sequence of extradition requests.
Other considerations included Kwon's nationality and the potential for subsequent extradition to another country.
Kwon is a central figure in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/22/08/28505136/i-didnt-sleep-for-8-days-terra-luna-founder-do-kwon-comes-out-of-hiding-explains-his-side-">the 2022 collapse</a> of the algorithmic stablecoin TerraUSD (CRYPTO: USTC) and its sister cryptocurrency Luna (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">LUNC</a>), which caused billions of dollars in losses to investors globally.
The incident led to a coordinated international manhunt involving South Korean authorities, U.S. prosecutors and Interpol.
The crypto executive was arrested in Montenegro in March 2023 for attempting to travel with forged documents.

Why It Matters: Since his release from prison earlier this year, Kwon has faced an extradition stalemate as courts weighed requests from the U.S. and South Korea.
The High Court in Montenegro initially ruled in February 2024 to extradite Kwon to the U.S. to face charges related to the Terra-Luna collapse. 
However, that decision was reversed in March, favoring extradition to South Korea instead. Months of legal appeals and inconsistent rulings followed, further delaying the process.
Kwon's legal team had pushed for extradition to his home country of South Korea, where financial criminals typically face maximum sentences ranging from 30 to 40 years. 
In contrast, the U.S. legal system allows for consecutive sentencing, potentially resulting in significantly longer prison terms.
The extradition saga has also sparked political controversies in Montenegro. 
Former Justice Minister Andrej Milovic accused Prime Minister Milojko Spajić of influencing the extradition process in favor of South Korea due to alleged financial connections with Kwon.

Terra Luna Co-Founder Do Kwon To Be Extradited To The US: Report

ChatGPT parent OpenAI is exploring <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41038183/openais-restructure-from-non-profit-to-potential-150b-for-profit-sam-altman-could-get-equity" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">restructuring its corporate framework</a> in 2025, transforming it into a <a href="https://openai.com/index/why-our-structure-must-evolve-to-advance-our-mission/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Delaware Public Benefit Corporation</a> (PBC).
Sam Altman&#8217;s artificial intelligence company initially focused on advancing AI without financial constraints. However, by 2019, it became clear that developing large-scale language models required substantial investments, prompting the company to introduce a hybrid structure.
OpenAI raised $1 billion from Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>). The company highlighted the need for &#8220;hundreds of billions of dollars&#8221; in capital to sustain its mission.

The current valuation of $157 billion and competition from Microsoft, Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>), and Anthropic, prompted OpenAI to issue traditional equity through its new structure, CNBC <a target="_blank" href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/12/27/openai-needs-more-capital-than-wed-imagined-moves-to-for-profit.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.
Transitioning to a PBC will allow OpenAI to attract conventional equity investments, while the nonprofit arm will focus on charitable initiatives in education, healthcare, and science.
Under the proposed model, OpenAI&#8217;s nonprofit will hold a significant interest in the for-profit PBC, valued by independent financial advisors.
However, OpenAI&#8217;s move has sparked opposition from co-founder Elon Musk, who has filed legal challenges against the restructuring.
Musk, owner of OpenAI&#8217;s rival xAI, charged OpenAI of ditching its nonprofit roots. Internal challenges have also emerged, with key executives like Chief Technology Officer Mira Murati and Research Chief Bob McGrew exiting the company.
Developing and scaling generative AI models like ChatGPT requires massive resources, including high-powered processors from Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and cloud infrastructure provided by key backer Microsoft. OpenAI expects $5 billion in losses on $3.7 billion in revenue in 2024.
Interestingly, OpenAI&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/12/42499756/musk-backed-for-profit-direction-for-openai-leaked-emails-say" rel="noreferrer noopener">recently revealed old emails</a> from Musk&nbsp;that depicted his advocacy for a&nbsp;profit-making business model.
Musk&#8217;s AI company, xAI, announced on Monday that it raised $6 billion in funding, marking its second <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/12/42665538/elon-musks-xai-secures-6-billion-in-series-c-funding-to-expand-colossus-supercomputer-attracts-investments-from-nvidia-and-blackrock" rel="noreferrer noopener">major funding round in 2024</a>.
The investment features strategic backing from Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Advanced Micro Devices, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>).
xAI plans to use the funding to expand its Colossus supercomputer, which currently runs on 100,000 Nvidia Hopper GPUs. The company aims to double its capacity to 200,000 GPUs.

Check Out What Whales Are Doing With ZIM

As the global race for Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) adoption intensifies, Anthony Pompliano, founder and CEO of Professional Capital Management, has issued a stark warning: if the United States does not prioritize Bitcoin, it risks falling behind as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42677932/russian-firms-adopt-bitcoin-for-global-trade-in-response-to-western-sanctions-should-be-expanded-and-developed-further">other nations take the lead</a>.
What Happened: In an <a href="https://x.com/APompliano/status/1872356968012349474">interview</a> with Fox Business on Thursday, Pompliano emphasized that various countries are already actively mining, buying and holding Bitcoin, and that the U.S. needs to get in the game to remain competitive in the global digital economy.
Pompliano drew a parallel between the strategic acquisition of physical assets, like the Panama Canal and Greenland, and the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42601193/senator-lummis-introduces-strategic-bitcoin-reserve-proposal">strategic acquisition</a> of digital assets like Bitcoin.
He highlighted that Bitcoin&#8217;s limited supply makes it a scarce digital resource that other nations are already leveraging. 
&#8220;Owning Bitcoin is digital real estate. There&#8217;s only 21 million that will ever exist,&#8221; Pompliano stated. 
He stressed the necessity for the US to determine whether they will lead or be left behind in this emerging technology.
&#8220;We know other countries are mining, buying, holding Bitcoin, and so are we going to let these other countries be the leader, or are we gonna be the leader? And I think that&#8217;s really the decision they have to make," he said.
Pompliano also addressed the common concern about Bitcoin&#8217;s volatility and the psychological challenge of buying at higher prices. He likened it to past hesitancy about investing in the S&amp;P 500. 
&#8220;If you go back to the 1980s or 1990s, buying the S&amp;P 500 was real scary, but you were a genius if you did it in hindsight.&#8221; 
He advised that the best time to buy was yesterday, and waiting will likely only lead to missed opportunities.
While noting the excitement in the crypto community about the new administration, Pompliano clarified that the industry is simply growing up, noting that these companies are behaving just like other large companies, including donating to the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump.

Why It Matters: Pompliano also touched on the role of government involvement in Bitcoin, acknowledging the potential for criticism if politicians buy it.
He pointed out that the U.S. already engages in similar practices with other assets, noting &#8220;we have a president that&#8217;s currently in office and also politicians who are literally day trading assets. And so it&#8217;s no different.&#8221; 
He believes the main story of 2025 is the integration of crypto into the mainstream financial system, bringing both benefits and challenges.
On Bitcoin&#8217;s future, Pompliano affirmed its continued dominance and likely inflow of capital from traditional finance, and while he does not have a specific price target, he is bullish on the future of Bitcoin.
Reiterating his point of other countries already getting involved, he said, &#8220;There&#8217;s a lot of other countries who have already bought, they&#8217;re mining, they&#8217;re holding Bitcoin.&#8221;
Pompliano emphasized that the United States, as the world&#8217;s largest capital market, must also be involved in Bitcoin and that would help reduce any hesitation other countries may have about adopting it. 
He also referenced the use of Bitcoin as a sanctions hedge, highlighting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42667932/did-vladimir-putin-just-ban-bitcoin-mining-in-russia-the-devil-is-in-the-details">Russia's actions in that respect</a>.

'Owning Bitcoin Is Digital Real Estate,' Says Anthony Pompliano

Ukraine said it received 150 sets of SpaceX's Starlink from Poland hours before Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk told the U.S. to pay for the high-speed internet services because it can no longer <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/10/29264636/elon-musks-spacex-asks-us-to-foot-the-bill-for-starlink-internet-services-in-ukraine-report-says-we">afford to give it to Ukraine for free.&nbsp;</a>
What Happened: Ukrainian Ministry of Reintegration of Temporarily Occupied Territories said the Starlink sets would allow it to quickly restore communication until the damaged infrastructure is rebuilt in the liberated regions.&nbsp;

"Some of them are intended for mobile operators and Internet providers. Currently, mobile operators have restored 27 mobile base stations in the Kharkiv region and continue to restore others," it added.
This came days after Musk <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/10/29130474/ukraine-diplomat-asks-elon-musk-to-f-k-off-says-tesla-will-be-boycotted-in-the-country">drew massive flak on social media</a>, including from Ukrainian officials for polling his followers on what would be the most likely outcome of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.&nbsp;
Following his tweet, Ukraine&#8217;s outgoing ambassador to Germany, Andriy Melnyk, sharply replied to Musk. &#8220;F&#x2A;&#x2A;k off is my very diplomatic reply to you, Elon Musk,&#8221; he said.&nbsp;
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/10/29129597/elon-musk-tells-zelenskyy-i-still-very-much-support-ukraine-but">Musk later defended it</a> to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and said he supports Kyiv. "I still very much support Ukraine, but am convinced that massive escalation of the war will cause great harm to Ukraine and possibly the world," he said.&nbsp;
The billionaire entrepreneur early Friday on Twitter said SpaceX could not &#8220;indefinitely&#8221; fund the Starlink internet service in Ukraine and send it several thousand more terminals..
