Popular dog-themed cryptocurrency Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) resumed its uptrend Monday, igniting a strong wave of optimism among bulls.
What happened: Dogecoin was up over 5% in the last 24 hours, recovering from the ‘Black Sunday' crash that eroded 28% of the value of the world's largest meme coin.
Dogecoin rose to an intraday high of $0.2924 in the evening hours before falling back to $0.26 due to profit-taking.
Well-known chartist Trader Tardigrade noted a bullish crossover of the Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator, suggesting a potential shift in momentum toward an upward trend.

Another widely followed analyst, Kevin, stated that Dogecoin completed its "second major correction" of the bull cycle, a move "very similar" to the last cycle.
Kevin, who has previously linked Dogecoin's trajectory with Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) moves, reaffirmed the opinion.&nbsp;
"If all goes well with BTC, then Doge should begin its next leg soon."

Why It Matters: The rally caused a spike in speculative interest for Dogecoin. Open Interest, or the notional value locked in unsettled Dogecoin future contracts, rose by 1.85% on Binance, <a href="https://www.coinglass.com/LongShortRatio">according </a>to Coinglass.
More than 79% of Binance traders were levered long on the meme coin, suggesting that the rally could be sustained in the short term.
Furthermore, the Commodity Channel Index, which measures the difference between the current price and the historical average price, fell below -150, <a href="https://in.tradingview.com/symbols/DOGEUSD/technicals/">according </a>to Trading View, signaling an oversold level and a potential "Buy."

Fiscal 25 outlook Organic net sales growth In the second half of fiscal 25, before the impact of the tariffs, we would have expected to build on the momentum seen in the first half and would have expected to deliver a sequential improvement in organic net sales growth compared with the first half of fiscal 25. The confirmation at the weekend of the implementation of tariffs in the US could however impact this building momentum. We still expect to continue to deliver strong market share performance. Organic operating profit growth Before taking into consideration the potential impact of tariffs we had expected a slight decline in organic operating profit in the second half of fiscal 25 compared with the prior year, broadly in line with the decline in the first half, reflecting higher staff costs (given lower incentive comparatives in the same period last year), and continued strategic investments including in digital and US route-to-market. Clearly the implementation of tariffs could further impact this and when we can more accurately assess the impact we will update as appropriate.

Diageo H1 EPS $0.98 Down From $1.08 YoY, Sales $10.90B Down From $10.962B YoY

Group total revenue: Increased by 5.0% to €9.8 billion in Q3 with good organic service revenue growth partially offset by adverse foreign exchange movements.&nbsp;
− Group service revenue: Grew by 5.6% in Q3 to €7.9 billion and on an organic basis increased 5.2% (Q2: 4.2%), driven by broadbased growth, excluding Germany. The acceleration in quarterly trends was driven by the UK and Africa.
− Group Adjusted EBITDAaL: Increased by 2.2% on an organic basis to €2.8 billion, as service revenue growth in most markets and lower energy costs in Europe more than offset the impact of the TV law change in Germany. The Adjusted EBITDAaL margin of 28.8% was 0.5 percentage points lower year-on-year on an organic basis. On a year-to-date basis, Adjusted EBITDAaL increased by 3.2% on an organic basis to €8.2 billion. Operating profit decreased by 18.4% to €1.0 billion&nbsp;
− Share buybacks: Third €0.5 billion tranche completed 22 January 2025, with 1.8 billion shares repurchased for €1.5 billion since May 2024. Final €0.5 billion tranche from the initial €2 billion buyback programme commencing today.&nbsp;
− Group FY25 guidance reiterated: On track to deliver Group Adjusted EBITDAaL of c.€11 billion and Group Adjusted free cash flow of at least €2.4 billion. − UK merger: In December 2024, the UK's Competition and Markets Authority approved the combination of Vodafone and Three in the UK.

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) customers can now avail $7,500 federal EV tax credit on Cybertruck purchases provided they are eligible for it.
What Happened: The 2025 all-wheel drive variant of the Cybertruck is eligible for the tax credit, Tesla announced in a post on social media platform X. If the purchase price of the vehicle does not exceed $80,000 and the customer meets the gross income limitations for availing the tax credit, they can take ownership of the truck for $72,490.
The all-wheel drive version of the Cybertruck starts at $79,990 without tax credit.

The more expensive Cyberbeast variant of the truck starts at $99,990 and exceeds the price bar to be eligible for the tax credit. 
As per the U.S. government&#8217;s fueleconomy.gov&nbsp;website, the single-motor variant of the Cybertruck is also eligible for the tax credit but the company is yet to start the production of the variant. The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42759653/cybertruck-all-wheel-drive-now-eligible-for-7500-ev-tax-credit">rear-wheel drive single-motor variant</a> will start at $53,490 after the tax credit once delivery starts.
Why It Matters:&nbsp;Currently, all variants of the Model Y and Model 3 in addition to the Model X all-wheel drive variant sold in the U.S. are also eligible for $7,500&nbsp;electric vehicle consumer tax credits.
However, the very existence of the electric vehicle consumer tax credits is currently in question. In November, Reuters reported that President-elect&nbsp;Donald Trump's&nbsp;transition team is planning to kill the $7,500 consumer tax credit for electric vehicle purchases as part of broader tax-reform legislation. Tesla representatives reportedly supported the proposal to end the subsidy.
&#8220;In my view, we should end all government subsidies, including those for EVs, oil and gas,&#8221; Tesla CEO&nbsp;Elon Musk&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/42005034/elon-musk-backs-calls-for-end-to-ev-subsidies-but-former-tesla-exec-warns-of-massive-drop-in-manufacturing-investments-if-trump-follows-through" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">wrote on X</a>&nbsp;following the report. &nbsp;

Earnings Scheduled For February 4, 2025

Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group Nine Months 2024 NII ¥2.174T Up From ¥1.799T YoY; EPS ¥149.42 Up From ¥107.78 YoY

Shares of Illumina Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ILMN#NASDAQ">ILMN</a>) fell nearly 4% on Robinhood overnight after the Chinese Ministry of Commerce added the company, along with Calvin Klein owner PVH Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PVH#NYSE">PVH</a>) to the unreliable entities list amid the ongoing trade war with the U.S..
What Happened: China claimed <a href="https://news.futunn.com/flash/18389865/department-of-commerce-add-the-us-pvh-group-and-immena?level=2&amp;data_ticket=1738646473129916">in</a> its press release that these two companies have disrupted normal market transactions and tried to harm the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises.
The specific measures to be taken against the companies have not yet been disclosed. However, they are expected to be in line with the &#8220;Regulations on the List of Unreliable Entities,&#8221; which allow for restrictions on trade, investment, and other business activities.

Why It Matters: China&#8217;s State Administration for Market Regulation also announced on Tuesday that it will be investigating Alphabet Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google for alleged anti-monopoly practices. This comes shortly after China imposed new tariffs on select U.S. goods, including coal, LNG, crude oil, farm equipment, and vehicles.
On Monday, President Donald Trump postponed his threat of imposing 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada at the last minute, agreeing to a 30-day delay in exchange for concessions regarding border and crime enforcement with the two neighboring countries. However, there was no similar pause on the 10% tariffs imposed on China.
Illumina fell 3.89% on Robinhood overnight, whereas PVH had ended over 7% lower on Monday. The exchange-traded fund tracking the S&amp;P 500 index, SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) had ended 0.67% lower to close at $597.77 on Monday.
