What Happened: As of Tuesday, the market gives this scenario only a 28% chance of occurring.
The Polymarket <a href="https://polymarket.com/event/trump-to-announce-strategic-bitcoin-reserve-in-july?tid=1721752696682">chart</a>, which tracks betting odds until July 31, 2024, reveals a consistently low probability for such an announcement. 
Despite some fluctuations, including a brief spike to around 50% on July 22, the overall trend suggests that market participants view this as an unlikely event.
This speculation comes amid growing discussions about integrating Bitcoin into national financial strategies. 
Dennis Porter, CEO and Co-Founder of Satoshi Act Fund, has recently proposed incorporating Bitcoin into the U.S. Exchange Stabilization Fund (ESF) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/07/39866338/bitcoin-as-a-strategic-reserve-asset-for-the-us-expert-details-how-trump-could-make-it-hap">as a strategic reserve</a>.
Porter argues that such a move could benefit both the United States and Bitcoin, potentially bolstering the U.S. economy and the dollar&#8217;s position for decades.

The ESF, established in 1934, traditionally manages foreign exchange and gold operations to stabilize the U.S. dollar. 
Porter&#8217;s proposal suggests several ways to integrate Bitcoin, including holding it as a reserve asset, using it for currency interventions, and providing liquidity during financial crises.
Despite these discussions in crypto circles, the betting markets seem unconvinced that Trump, a key political figure, would publicly endorse such a strategy. 
The low odds might reflect broader uncertainties about cryptocurrency adoption at the highest levels of government or skepticism about Trump&#8217;s stance on digital assets.
What&#8217;s Next: As the cryptocurrency community and investors watch closely, events like Benzinga&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/events/digital-assets/agenda/">Future of Digital Assets</a> conference on Nov. 19 will be crucial in discussing and understanding the evolving landscape of digital assets and their potential impact on global financial systems.

Successful traders know how to recognize which price levels in a certain market are important. These are called support and resistance levels. When a stock reaches one of them there is a good chance it reverses. Traders can profit from these reversals.
Successful traders also understand the concept of market memory. This refers to how a price level can be important for a long time. It could be weeks, months, or even years. 
United Parcel Service, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UPS#NYSE">UPS</a>) has a good memory. That's why our technical analysis experts have made it our Stock of the Day.
As you can see on the chart, the $156.00 level was first support in September 2020. Then it was support in March 2021. It was also support once again in October 2022. Market memory kept this support intact for more than two years.
An important dynamic of technical analysis is understanding how a price level that had once been resistance can convert into a support level. This can also be seen on the chart. $176.50 was resistance for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/UPS">UPS</a> in October 2020 and April 2021. Then it became a support level in October 2021.

Resistance can convert into support when remorseful sellers try to buy their shares back. Some traders and investors who sold around $176.50 were happy when the price headed lower soon after. But when the stock reversed and moved to higher prices, many of them regretted their decision to sell.
Some of these remorseful sellers decide that if they can buy their shares back at the same prices sold, they will do so. So, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/07/39903596/ups-q2-earnings-revenue-and-eps-miss-annual-outlook-cut-restarts-stock-buyback">UPS</a> dropped back to $176.50 in October 2021, they placed buy orders and this large concentration of orders resulted in support forming at the price that had been resistance.
A similar thing may be about to happen now.
After a weak earnings report, the shares dropped to around $124.00. This level was resistance in August 2018, November 2019 and August 2020.
If UPS has a really good market memory, it will find support around $124.00. This may be a good time to buy it.

Stock of the Day: UPS Has A Good Memory

Arista Networks's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ANET#NYSE">ANET</a>) short percent of float has fallen 23.97% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 3.36 million shares sold short, which is 1.11% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.2 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.

<h3>Comparing Arista Networks'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>, Arista Networks's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 9.16%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

We live in a country that values freedom and independence above all else. You have the right to worship how you want, live how you want, and educate your children how you choose. But while valuing the lack of government infringement in our personal lives, many Americans forget that financial freedom isn&#8217;t a given.
Don't Miss:

</ul>
In fact, with fewer social nets to keep you from falling into a financial abyss than in all of Europe, we have to work for and build our financial freedom. In a blog from the 4th of July, Suze Orman pointed out, &#8220;Financial independence is not something we snap our fingers and have to materialize right then and there. It results from a process that we create and then commit to seeing through. And that process can start at any time. Like today.&#8221;
What is financial independence to you? Is it having a stable job and an emergency fund? Is it paying off all debt? Or is it a work-optional lifestyle?&nbsp;
 Financial independence may seem far-fetched when so many Americans struggle with debt or to keep up with savings goals. Instead of snapping your fingers or wishing for the best, Orman advises changing your perspective.
 Sure, you can keep the big goals in your mind, but start with a small goal you can work toward right now. This vital move could help you hit your first financial target early this summer.&nbsp;
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/realbricks">Will the surge continue or decline on real estate prices? People are finding out about risk-free real estate investing that lets you cash out whenever you want.</a>
Orman suggests, &#8220;Make it a shortlist. No more than two or three goals. And honestly, focusing on getting rolling on one goal is great. It's up to you.&#8221; When you tackle the right goal, you&#8217;ll get relief and satisfaction that can help drive you toward the next goal.&nbsp;
The <a href="https://www.census.gov/data/tables/time-series/demo/popest/2020s-national-detail.html#v2023">average American debt per U.S. adult</a> is $66,772, and 77% of American households have at least some type of debt. If you&#8217;re struggling with a credit card, student, or other debt, it&#8217;s time to reassess your lifestyle and see what more you can pay off.&nbsp;
 For example, if you have a 30-year $400,000 mortgage on a home you bought five years ago, paying the principal an extra $500 a month could help you pay it off eight years earlier. With a 7% interest rate, you&#8217;d save over $150,000 in interest payments. Even if you locked in a 4% interest rate, you could save over $70,000 on interest with the same repayment strategy.&nbsp;
Regardless of your views, this July and running into the election season, remember your freedom in America, including the freedom to build your financial independence. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-save-money-during-inflation">Even in the face of soaring inflation</a> and interest rates, you can try <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/money-saving-challenge">savings challenges</a>, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/budgeting-tips-for-young-adults">create a budget</a>, and define your goals.

Morgan Stanley Maintains Overweight on Blackstone, Raises Price Target to $164

Momentum investors typically don&#39;t time the market or &quot;buy low and sell high.&quot; In other words, they avoid betting on cheap stocks and waiting long for them to recover. Instead, they believe that &quot;buying high and selling higher&quot; is the way to make far more money in lesser time.
Who doesn&#39;t like betting on fast-moving trending stocks? But determining the right entry point isn&#39;t easy. Often, these stocks lose momentum once their valuation moves ahead of their future growth potential. In such a situation, investors find themselves loaded up on expensive shares with limited to no upside or even a downside. So, going all-in on momentum could be risky at times.
A safer approach could be investing in bargain stocks with recent price momentum. While the Zacks Momentum Style Score (part of the Zacks Style Scores system) helps identify great momentum stocks by paying close attention to trends in a stock&#39;s price or earnings, our &#39;Fast-Paced Momentum at a Bargain&#39; screen comes handy in spotting fast-moving stocks that are still attractively priced.
There are several stocks that currently pass through the screen and Energy Transfer LP (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/et#NYSE">ET</a>) is one of them. Here are the key reasons why this stock is a great candidate.
A dash of recent price momentum reflects growing interest of investors in a stock. With a four-week price change of 3%, the stock of this energy-related services provider is certainly well-positioned in this regard.
While any stock can see a spike in price for a short period, it takes a real momentum player to deliver positive returns for a longer time frame. ET meets this criterion too, as the stock gained 2.5% over the past 12 weeks.
Moreover, the momentum for ET is fast paced, as the stock currently has a beta of 1.66. This indicates that the stock moves 66% higher than the market in either direction.
Given this price performance, it is no surprise that ET has a Momentum Score of A, which indicates that this is the right time to enter the stock to take advantage of the momentum with the highest probability of success.
In addition to a favorable Momentum Score, an upward trend in earnings estimate revisions has helped ET earn a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). Our research shows that the momentum-effect is quite strong among Zacks Rank #1 and #2 stocks. That&#39;s because as covering analysts raise their earnings estimates for a stock, more and more investors take an interest in it, helping its price race to keep up.
Most importantly, despite possessing fast-paced momentum features, ET is trading at a reasonable valuation. In terms of Price-to-Sales ratio, which is considered as one of the best valuation metrics, the stock looks quite cheap now. ET is currently trading at 0.68 times its sales. In other words, investors need to pay only 68 cents for each dollar of sales.
So, ET appears to have plenty of room to run, and that too at a fast pace.
