Trader Notes: With Bitcoin prices moving higher, crypto trader The Cryptomist marked the next critical resistance $97,000.
A breakout at this level could set up a retest of the key broken trendline near $104,000. 
However, the <a href="https://x.com/Thecryptomist/status/1874826258003214467">possibility</a> of revisiting lower levels around $88,000 before reaching new all-time high remains on the table.
More Crypto Online <a href="https://x.com/Morecryptoonl/status/1874873482506600778">marks</a> the next key support zone lying between $94,610 and $95,743 as Bitcoin has reached the 100% extension level.
Daan Crypto Trades <a href="https://x.com/DaanCrypto/status/1874863475933008110">noted</a> that Bitcoin has been consolidating around the $100,000 level for the past six weeks, building significant liquidity in this range. 
Notably, the area above this level appears primed with ample liquidity to potentially drive prices higher.
He added that a key factor to watch is the performance of Bitcoin ETFs early in the year. 
Days with inflows of $2 billion <a href="https://x.com/DaanCrypto/status/1874863475933008110">could</a> fuel further bullish price action.

SkyWest's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SKYW#NYSE">SKYW</a>) short percent of float has risen 5.86% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 1.60 million shares sold short, which is 5.78% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 4.82 days to cover their short positions on average.
<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.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for SkyWest has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing SkyWest's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, SkyWest's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 9.18%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Houlihan Lokey Stock In The Last 5 Years

When <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/41918104/are-you-on-track-to-retire-rich-heres-the-nest-egg-you-need-to-be-considered-a-wealthy-retiree">planning for retirement</a>, it's helpful to better understand how long your savings need to last. Current life expectancy data reveals that many retirees could spend over two decades in retirement, putting even more importance on financial preparation.&nbsp;
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that the average life expectancy in the U.S. is about 77.5 years as of their most recent mortality report in 2022. However, averages can be misleading.&nbsp;

<li>Can you guess how many Americans successfully retire with $1,000,000 saved?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/1milsaved"> The percentage may shock you</a>.</li>
</ul>
Life expectancy jumps significantly for those who reach age 65. Women aged 65 are expected to live to 86.9 years, while men of the same age are likely to reach 84.3 years, according to the <a href="https://www.ssa.gov/OACT/population/longevity.html">Social Security Administration's life expectancy calculator</a>.&nbsp;
Retirement could last more than 20 years, depending on when you stop working. Someone retiring at 62 – the current average retirement age – may need savings to last over two decades, especially if they plan to maintain the same lifestyle they had before retirement.&nbsp;
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42678974/a-long-awaited-victory-public-workers-set-to-receive-higher-social-security-benefits-after-senate-passes-social-security-fairness-act">Social Security</a> is a critical income source for many retirees, but it frequently falls short when covering basic expenses. As of November 2024, the average monthly retirement benefit was $1,876.95, <a href="https://www.ssa.gov/policy/docs/quickfacts/stat_snapshot/">according to the SSA</a>. That amounts to about $22,523 annually. For many, that isn't enough to cover living expenses, let alone unexpected emergencies that may occur.&nbsp;

Mark Hebner, president of Index Fund Advisors, said, "One of the big issues with Social Security is that it only provides a similar standard of living for those in the lowest quartile of income earners in the U.S. … most people will need to rely on some sort of personal savings in order to maintain their current standard of living in retirement."
So, how much does one person need for retirement? With <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/12/42562772/15-extra-years-but-at-what-cost-how-retirees-are-learning-work-free-living-is-a-mistake">life expectancy</a> rising, retirement can be difficult to plan for. Fidelity advises assuming that you'll spend 80% of your preretirement income each year of retirement. This varies depending on the lifestyle you want and health care costs.&nbsp;
Beau Zhao, director of Financial Solutions at Fidelity, says, "Let's say you plan to travel around the world after you retire. You may want to increase the 80% guideline to 90% or 100%.&#8221;
Trending: Many are using retirement income calculators to check if they&#8217;re on pace —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-do-i-calculate-my-retirement-income-adv"> here&#8217;s a breakdown on what&#8217;s behind this formula.</a>
Regarding your retirement goals, saving early – and consistently – can make the difference in saving enough for a long, comfortable retirement. Fidelity suggests saving 10 times your annual preretirement income by age 67 to help ensure financial stability. This target is based on contributing 15% of income annually, beginning at age 25, with investments weighted toward stocks to support growth over time.
If you're behind on savings, it's important to act now. Fidelity suggests setting age-based milestones, such as saving 1x your salary by 30, 3x by 40, 6x by 50 and 8x by 60. These benchmarks can help you assess your progress and adjust your strategy.
Diversification is an important aspect of managing risk and supporting the long-term growth of your financial assets. Financial advisor Daniel Schutte notes that while bonds may seem safer, they often fail to keep up with inflation over time.
Trending: Can you guess how many retire with a $5,000,000 nest egg? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/5mil-nest-egg-adv">The percentage may shock you</a>.
Craig Israelsen, Ph.D., designer of the 7Twelve Portfolio, says, "A broadly diversified retirement portfolio consisting of 40% large-cap U.S. stocks, 25% small-cap U.S. stocks, 25% U.S. bonds and 10% cash has had a 98% success rate in lasting at least 35 years during retirement before running out of money."
Another consideration is health care. Nearly 70% of individuals aged 65 and older will need long-term care at some point, according to the <a href="https://acl.gov/ltc/basic-needs/how-much-care-will-you-need">U.S. Department of Health and Human Services</a>. Genworth reports that assisted living costs averaged $5,350 per month in 2023, so having a plan for these expenses – such as long-term care insurance – is crucial.
Retirement planning can feel daunting, but the key is to start or continue saving, no matter your current stage of life. Whether contributing to a 401(k), opening an IRA or building a diversified portfolio, every step brings you closer to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/40764819/think-youre-financially-secure-heres-how-much-people-say-it-takes-to-feel-secure-and-what-you-re">securing your financial future</a>. With life expectancy on the rise, preparing for a 20+ year retirement is more important than ever.

Retirement Could Last 20+ Years: New Life Expectancy Data Suggests You'll Need More Savings

Shares of Bilibili Inc &#8211; ADR (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BILI#NASDAQ">BILI</a>) fell 5.5% to $17.10 Thursday as broader Chinese equities faced headwinds following the release of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/01/42767647/chinese-stocks-drop-as-manufacturing-growth-slows-and-geopolitical-tensions-hit">disappointing economic data</a> and intensifying geopolitical concerns.
The company, a prominent Chinese video-sharing and live-streaming platform often referred to as the &#8220;YouTube of China,&#8221; is down amid growing uncertainty in China's economic outlook.
What To Know: China's December Caixin/S&amp;P Global manufacturing purchasing managers&#8217; index dropped to 50.5, missing <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/01/02/asia-markets-set-to-resume-trading-after-new-year-day-holiday.html">analyst expectations</a> of 51.7 and signaling slower-than-anticipated manufacturing growth. Coupled with the official PMI of 50.1, the data underscores waning domestic and export demand. 
This slowdown pressures Bilibili, which relies heavily on consumer engagement and discretionary spending to drive revenue from advertising, subscriptions and virtual gifts.
Geopolitical tensions further complicate matters, as U.S. semiconductor embargoes and potential tariffs cast a shadow over China's tech sector. Bilibili, which depends on high-performance chips for its streaming and gaming services, may face rising costs and operational constraints.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy BILI Stock</h2>
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Bilibili &#8211; be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy ‘fractional shares,' which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share. For example, some stock, like Berkshire Hathaway, can cost thousands of dollars to own just one share. However, if you only want to invest a fraction of that, brokerages will allow you to do so.
In the the case of Bilibili, which is trading at $17.07 as of publishing time, $100 would buy you 5.86 shares of stock.
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to ‘go short' a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading &#8211; either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, BILI has a 52-week high of $31.77 and a 52-week low of $8.80.

Why Bilibili (BILI) Shares Are Trading Lower

Veritone Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VERI#NASDAQ">VERI</a>) shares are trading lower by 2.75% to $3.19 during Thursday&#8217;s session after the company announced a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/b42762086/veritone-announces-pricing-of-20-3-million-registered-direct-offering">direct offering agreement</a> to sell 8,023,716 shares of common stock or pre-funded warrants to Esousa Group Holdings, at $2.53 per share or $2.52 per warrant.
What Else: The warrants, exercisable at 1 cent each, have a five-year term and are subject to immediate exercise with certain limitations. The transaction, expected to close on January 3, pending customary conditions, will generate approximately $20.3 million in gross proceeds before expenses. 
Veritone plans to utilize the funds, alongside existing cash reserves, for general corporate purposes, including working capital, capital expenditures, debt repayment and further development and marketing of its AI platform and applications.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy VERI Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Veritone&#8217;s case, it is in the Information Technology sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, VERI has a 52-week high of $7.76 and a 52-week low of $1.48.

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.

$1000 Invested In This Stock 10 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Unity Software Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/U#NYSE">U</a>) is back in the spotlight, thanks to a cryptic post from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/meme-stocks">famed meme stock</a> trader Keith Gill, a.k.a. "Roaring Kitty." 
The stock surged over 10% in a single session, hitting $24.88, fueled by speculation and meme-driven hype. But is this just another fleeting rally, or does Unity have the fundamentals to back it up?
<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-left">Meme Magic Meets Market Moves</h2>
Roaring Kitty's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/42758021/roaring-kitty-keith-gill-sparks-speculation-with-rick-james-themed-post-on-x-gamestop-chewy-shares-in-focus">latest post on X</a> (formerly Twitter) featured a well-known GIF of comedian Dave Chappelle impersonating Rick James. In the original viral version, the word "Unity" appears prominently below, but Roaring Kitty's post used the same GIF without the word included.

On the technical front, Unity's stock shows bullish momentum. The price is above its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, signaling optimism among traders. However, indicators like a negative MACD and RSI (50.68) suggest caution, with slight selling pressure evident.

Unity Stock Jumps As Roaring Kitty's Meme Magic Meets Technical Uncertainty

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that semiconductor giant Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/01/42762874/broadcom-thrives-with-114-stock-surge-in-ai-boom-while-intel-faces-steep-decline">is hurting</a>. 
Over the past 52 weeks, Intel slipped approximately 58%. A range of woes, from management miscues to brewing skepticism of its competitive viability, have clouded the once-proud tech juggernaut. However, it's also possible that — at least in the near term — the ugliness could already be baked in.
In early December, Intel's board <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/12/42275410/intel-ceo-pat-gelsinger-forced-out-by-board-analysts-cheer-potential-strategy-shift-this-move-opens-the-door">reportedly forced out</a> CEO Pat Gelsinger, which wasn't the most surprising development. While the chipmaker took significant steps — including a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/24/08/40340162/intels-turnaround-strategy-will-job-cuts-spark-tesla-like-stock-rally">dramatic workforce reduction</a> — to right the ship, the company's fiduciaries grew frustrated with Gelsinger's turnaround progress. 
For the business week ending Dec. 6, Intel stock fell 15.78% — a reflection of deep uncertainty.
Last August, Intel stock suffered a seismic decline due to the semiconductor firm posting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/INTC/earnings">earnings per share of 2 cents</a> for the second quarter, against an estimated print of 10 cents. Additionally, some analysts fretted over Intel's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41691058/intel-struggles-with-market-share-profitability-q3-analyst-insights">market share loss to the competition</a>.  At the same time, this bad news is now in the rearview mirror. Looking forward, the contrarian bulls may sense a deep-value proposition.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Technical and Statistical Trends May Favor Upside for Intel Stock</h2>
One of the key factors shining a bullish light on Intel stock is the discipline of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/what-you-need-to-know-about-technical-analysis">technical analysis</a> or using price movements to identify buy and sell signals. 
Specifically, since the aforementioned August earnings fallout, Intel has printed a series of rising lows. Previously, the bulls managed to hold support at $19. At the moment, the optimists have dug themselves in at the $20 level.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="593" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/02143213/INTC-stock-01022025-1024x593.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-715909" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/02143213/INTC-stock-01022025-1024x593.jpg 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/02143213/INTC-stock-01022025-300x174.jpg 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/02143213/INTC-stock-01022025-768x445.jpg 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/02143213/INTC-stock-01022025.jpg 1032w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
This trend implies that investors are now attuned to any positive news. In other words, Intel has already suffered layoffs, leadership challenges and competitive headwinds, among many other concerns. Again, the dirty laundry has already been seen and accounted for. All it may take now is a modicum of positivity to spark a quick recovery.
Another element that might favor the upside for Intel stock is its statistical trend. Relatively speaking, large weekly drops in security are rare. Not including sessions from last month, in the past five years, there have only been eight weeks where Intel stock dropped 10% or more. Of this figure, only three instances saw Intel deliver a positive return by the end of the fourth subsequent week.
Put another way, investors generally steer clear of the chipmaker when it suffers badly over a one-week period. However, since the early December drop, Intel stock appears to have found its footing at the $20 support line. For intrepid speculators, this might be the signal to pull the trigger.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Laying The Groundwork For A Bull Call Spread</h2>
An enticing mechanism by which to speculate on INTC stock is an options strategy called the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/bull-spread">bull call spread</a>. This approach calls for buying a call option and simultaneously selling a call at a higher strike price for the same expiration date. The idea is to use the credit received from the short call to partially offset the debit paid for the long call, thus discounting a net bullish position.
Conservative investors may want to consider the 18/20 bull call spread (buy the $18 call, sell the $20 call) for the options chain expiring Jan. 24, 2025. Fundamentally, the expiration date comes one day after Intel posts its Q4 earnings results. Should good news arrive, INTC stock will likely shoot higher. Investors can also close the position early, under the thesis of buy the rumor, sell the news.
However, in a bull call spread, a security moving significantly above the short strike price represents an opportunity cost as the maximum reward is capped at that particular price. For a more aggressive approach, investors may consider the 20/22 bull call spread for the Jan. 24 expiration date.
In this case, the maximum reward can be collected if INTC stock rises to $22 or above by expiration. Further, the $22 price point roughly splits the current support level and the prior support of approximately $25 which materialized in late 2022 and early 2023, making it a logical target.
