Trader Notes: With Bitcoin prices dropping for the third consecutive day of the week, CryptoQuant Founder and CEO Ki Young Ju <a href="https://x.com/ki_young_ju/status/1877414305756282984">noted</a> that Bitcoin will stay in a bull cycle as long as capital flows in.
Another crypto trader, Rekt Capital, highlighted that Bitcoin has dropped to the lower end of its $91,000-$101,165 range. 
To prevent further decline and extend the current corrective phase, it needs to maintain support at the $91,000 range low.

Daan Crypto Trades expects a slow start for Bitcoin, with a proper move possibly taking until the end of January. 
He is watching a triangle/pennant pattern to identify a potential breakout from the current consolidation.
While the outlook for Q1 remains generally positive, the beginning of the year is often choppy. 
Referring to last year&#8217;s price action, the trader notes that after topping in early January 2024, Bitcoin bottomed by the 23rd and surged in February and March, indicating how quickly sentiment and price can shift.

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

When you're approaching retirement, your net worth becomes a scoreboard. It reflects decades of hard work—saving, investing, paying off debts—and gives you a sense of where you stand. Are you sitting comfortably in the middle class, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/05/39069576/are-you-rich-heres-the-net-worth-you-need-to-be-poor-middle-class-and-wealthy">firmly in the "rich" category</a> or struggling to make ends meet?
Net worth, the total value of your assets (like your home, retirement savings and investments) minus your debts (mortgages, loans, credit cards), offers a clearer picture of your financial health than income alone. Income can vary yearly, but your net worth reveals how well you've built and preserved your wealth over time.

<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>
<li>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></li>
</ul>
According to finance author Geoff Schmidt, who analyzed data from the Federal Reserve's latest Survey of Consumer Finances, retiree wealth can be grouped into key percentiles. Here's how he breaks it down in a 2023 YouTube video:
At the lower end of the scale, retirees in the bottom 20th percentile have a net worth of $10,000 or less. These individuals likely don't own property and rely heavily on Social Security or small pensions. It's a challenging position, as even covering basic expenses or handling unexpected costs can be a struggle.
The middle class&#8217;s 50th percentile has a net worth of about $281,000. This usually includes home equity, retirement savings and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42516732/the-average-401k-balance-soars-to-a-record-breaking-high-is-your-nest-egg-keeping-pace">a 401(k)</a>. It's a solid foundation, but retirees in this range still need to budget carefully to ensure their money lasts.

Climbing higher, the 70th to 90th percentiles (upper-middle-class retirees) have net worths ranging from $201,800 to $608,900. These retirees enjoy more financial flexibility, often with diversified assets that provide a comfortable cushion for unexpected expenses or a more relaxed lifestyle.
Then, there are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/06/39143700/are-you-richer-than-your-peers-the-net-worth-needed-to-be-in-the-top-10-of-your-age">the 90th percentile and above</a>—the rich retirees—start with a net worth of $1.9 million. At this level, retirees can afford luxuries like extensive travel, philanthropic efforts and legacy planning.
For the very wealthy, in the 95th percentile and beyond, net worth reaches $3.2 million or more. These retirees may own multiple properties, significant investments or even private businesses. And the rarest of the rare—the 99th percentile—boasts a staggering $16.7 million net worth. At this level, money is no longer a concern; it's a gateway to a lifestyle of total financial freedom.
However, wealth isn't just about the numbers. Context matters. For example, $1.9 million might go a long way in a small town but feel stretched in a high-cost urban area. Similarly, being debt-free can make a smaller net worth feel like a fortune, while heavy debt can weigh down even a significant nest egg.

For perspective, the Federal Reserve's broader data shows net worth benchmarks across all age groups:
• Poverty Class: $6,030
• Lower-Middle Class: $43,760
• Middle Class: $104,700
• Upper-Middle Class: $201,800
• Wealthy: $608,900
Most people's net worth peaks between the ages of 65 and 74, thanks to paid-off mortgages, maxed-out retirement savings and decades of compounding interest.
Wherever you land on the spectrum, your net worth isn't just a ranking; it's a tool to help you assess your financial health and plan for the future. Thoughtful planning can make all the difference in retirement, whether just getting by or living large.

Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) ETFs delivered over 100% gains in 2024. That&#8217;s four times the returns of the S&amp;P 500 index.

With the stock price below its eight-, 20- and 50-day simple moving averages, SPY's technical outlook remains strongly bearish.
That said, a glimmer of hope lies in its 200-day SMA (simple moving average), which signals a bullish undertone at $555.48 compared to SPY's current $589.49 price. Short-term pain may precede long-term gains, as buying pressure hints at future bullish movement.

Despite a slight 2.54% dip last month, IBIT's long-term technicals remain robust, trading well above its 200-day SMA at $40.17. However, recent selling pressure and a price of $53.34 below its eight and 20-day SMAs indicate a short-term bearish trend.
With Bitcoin ETFs delivering unmatched growth, even slight headwinds haven't dampened their shine.

MAGS has mostly stalled in recent months, with a 0.24% gain over the past month and signs of short-term selling pressure.
Its price of $55.04 sits below its eight and 20-day SMAs but above the 50 and 200-day SMAs, reflecting a mix of caution and resilience. As tech struggles to regain momentum, investors may seek opportunities elsewhere.
Crypto steals the spotlight as SPY and MAGS navigate choppy waters. Can Bitcoin ETFs keep their lead in 2025?

Bitcoin ETFs Quadruple SPY Returns, Magnificent 7 Plays Catch-Up

There has been more supply, or shares for sale, than there has been demand, or shares to buy, for ON Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ON#NASDAQ">ON</a>), <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ON/news" target="_blank" rel="noopener">push</a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ON/news">ing the price lower.</a>
There is a good chance that a new downtrend is forming. This is why our team of technical analysts has made it our Stock of the Day.
Sometimes, analysts overcomplicate technical analysis. They seem to forget that if understood and applied correctly, it is the analysis of supply and demand in a market.
If demand and supply are equal, or if there&#8217;s more demand than supply, traders and investors who wish to sell can do so without any issues. But if there is more supply than there is demand, sellers will need to offer their shares out at a discount to get the interest of those who may wish to buy.
This will force the stock into a downtrend.

Price levels that have more demand than supply are called support levels. Downtrends pause or end when they reach support levels.
As you can see on the chart, the $61 level has been support for ON Semiconductor. Downtrends ended at this level in October 2023 and April 2024.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="556" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/09151205/On-chart-1024x556.png" alt="" class="wp-image-726838" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/09151205/On-chart-1024x556.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/09151205/On-chart-300x163.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/09151205/On-chart-768x417.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/09151205/On-chart.png 1489w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
Sometimes stocks rally after they reach support. This happens when some of the buyers who created the support become concerned. They are worried that other traders and investors who wish to buy will increase the prices they are willing to pay for shares.
These concerned buyers know that the sellers will go to whoever is willing to pay the highest price. As a result, they increase the prices they are willing to pay. Other concerned buyers see this and do the same thing.
This could result in a bidding war or snowball effect that pushes the price higher. This is what happened the last two times ON reached $61.
However, this support level appears to have been broken, with shares closing below it.
This could mean the people who created the support with their buy orders have left the market. They have either canceled or finished their orders.
Sellers may be forced once again to push the price lower to get the attention of buyers. This could cause a new downtrend in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ON">ON Semiconductor</a>.

Stock Of The Day: Will On Semiconductor's Meltdown Continue?

Kratos Defense &amp; Security's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KTOS#NYSE">KTOS</a>) short percent of float has risen 3.0% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 3.54 million shares sold short, which is 2.4% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.99 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 Kratos Defense &amp; Security'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>, Kratos Defense &amp; Security's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 7.25%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

$1000 Invested In Williams Companies 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Electric vehicle company BYD Co (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDF#OTC">BYDDF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) is launching the first electric vehicle to come with a starting price under $30,000 in Australia, a move that could boost the country's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/electric-vehicles">electric vehicle market.</a>
What Happened: Along with investing in blue-chip U.S. companies, Berkshire Hathaway Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) CEO Warren Buffett has recognized the investment opportunity<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/financing/24/12/42535041/warren-buffett-gains-exposure-to-digital-banks-in-africa-south-america-heres-how"> in emerging markets.</a>
One of Buffett's investments is owning a stake in Chinese company BYD, a global leader in electric vehicle. While Buffett has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/06/39481191/warren-buffets-berkshire-drops-byd-stake-despite-ev-leader-seeing-record-sales">sold a portion</a> of the company's stake in BYD, Berkshire still owns around 4.9% of the company, representing around $1.8 billion in the Berkshire portfolio.
BYD could see a boost to its growth in 2025 thanks to the launch of a new version of its popular Dolphin EV in Australia.
A new stripped-down version of the Dolphin comes with a starting price of $29,900 in Australia, as <a href="https://electrek.co/2025/01/08/byd-just-launched-first-ev-priced-under-30000-australia/">reported </a>by Electrek, <a href="https://www.smh.com.au/politics/federal/chinese-giant-brings-first-ev-for-under-30-000-to-australia-20250108-p5l2vb.html">citing </a>The Sydney Morning Herald.
BYD has launched models like the Dolphin, Atto 3 and Seagull in Australia over the years and it now has the cheapest EV in the country, replacing the previous record of $30,990 by the MG4, which later raised its price to $38,000.
The lower-cost model does not include some normal Dolphin features like a sunroof, heated seats and a wireless phone charger. The new Dolphin model comes with the same battery range of 350 km (217 miles) as the other Dolphin models.
Deliveries of the new Dolphin model are set to begin in March.
You may not be a billionaire like Warren Buffett, but you can uncover hidden gems in the stock market using our proprietary data and pattern recognition — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42798998/benzingas-stock-whisper-index-5-stocks-investors-secretly-monitor-but-dont-talk-about-yet">check out five stocks flying under the radar that deserve your attention.</a>
Why It's Important: BYD is one of the largest electric vehicle companies in the world, selling 4.27 million new energy vehicles globally, which includes electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids, in 2024. This total was up 41% year-over-year.
In Australia, BYD ranked second for 2024 EV sales and had a 14.6% year-over-year gain in units sold. Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) ranked first in 2024 with a market share of 42% of EVs in Australia, but saw its year-over-year sales decline 16.8%, as <a href="https://www.drive.com.au/news/australias-best-selling-electric-cars-2024/">reported </a>by Drive.
Other EV companies like BYD saw their sales gain 28.8% year-over-year while Tesla fell, helping to set a record in Australia for a sixth straight year. The country had 91,292 EVs sold across cars, SUVs and light commercial vehicles, up 4.7% year-over-year and representing 7.4% of all new vehicles sold in the year.
EV sales faced pressure in Australia in the second half of 2024 with an overall drop of 6.9% year-over-year, with Tesla sales falling 25.8% year-over-year and other EV models gaining 9.6% year-over-year.
Tesla had the top two selling vehicles in Australia in 2024 with the Model Y and model 3 ranking first and second respectively.
BYD had three of the top 10 selling EVs in the country with the Seal, Atto 3 and Dolphin ranking fourth, fifth and eighth respectively.
A new lower-priced Dolphin could continue to cut into Tesla's market share. The EV company has watched its market share in Australia fall from 59% in 2022 to 53% in 2023 to 42% in 2024.
The Shark, which is BYD's first pickup truck, has over 5,500 preorders placed according to the report and deliveries begin soon. BYD will also launch the new Sealion 07, which is called a Model Y competitor. The Sealion 07 starts at under $60,000, falling in similar range of the Model Y, which starts at $55,900.

Novavax Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVAX#NASDAQ">NVAX</a>) shares dipped 11.2% to $9.60 during Wednesday&#8217;s session, pulling back<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/novavax"> following recent strength. </a>
Shares of vaccine makers are volatile this week after the first bird flu death was reported in the U.S. Additionally, a recent CDC <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/respiratory-viruses/data/index.html#cdc_data_surveillance_section_2-weekly-national-summary">report</a> noted an increase in acute respiratory illness activity.
What To Know: As a company specializing in vaccine development, Novavax is positioned as a potential player in addressing such outbreaks, particularly given its history of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/09/40688052/fda-approves-novavaxs-updated-covid-vaccine-targeting-currently-circulating-variants">creating vaccines</a> for infectious diseases.

Novavax, with its proprietary recombinant nanoparticle vaccine technology, could be seen as a contender to develop a next-generation bird flu vaccine if demand grows.

Investor speculation about potential government funding or contracts to combat the outbreak could likely contribute to volatility in Novavax shares, despite the CDC stating that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/25/01/42882233/bird-flu-sparks-vaccine-stock-surge-etfs-to-watch-as-h5n1-outbreak-intensifies">public risk remains low</a>.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy NVAX Stock</h2>
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Novavax &#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, or Amazon.com, 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 Novavax, which is trading at $9.60 as of publishing time, $100 would buy you 10.41 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>, NVAX has a 52-week high of $23.86 and a 52-week low of $3.53.

Why Novavax Stock Is Volatile This Week

James Howells, who is infamously known for having accidentally thrown away a hard drive containing 8,000 Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), has suffered a new setback in his quest to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/22/08/28706518/meet-a-man-on-a-quest-to-find-about-180-million-in-bitcoin-buried-in-a-landfill">reclaim his fortune</a>.
What Happened: A high court ruling by Judge Keyser KC has dismissed James Howells&#8217; legal claim to recover the hard drive, citing no &#8220;reasonable grounds&#8221; for bringing the claim and &#8220;no realistic prospect&#8221; of winning it.
Howells, who had sued the Newport City Council in Wales over the case, said he was &#8220;very upset&#8221; after the ruling, saying &#8220;it&#8217;s the great British injustice system striking again.&#8221;
After trying for 12 years to recover the lost coins, the ruling felt like &#8220;a kick in the teeth,&#8221; Howells lamented.
The case stems from an incident in 2013 when Howells accidentally threw away a hard drive containing 8,000 BTC.
The hard drive was discarded in a landfill in Newport, Wales, and Howells sought permission from Newport Council to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41308908/man-who-accidentally-threw-hard-drive-containing-8-000-bitcoins-worth-half-a-billion-dolla">excavate the site</a> in order to recover it.
However, the council rejected his request, and the court ruled that the council&#8217;s environmental permits prohibit excavation.
James Goudie KC, representing the council, argued that once the hard drive entered the landfill, it became the council's property.

Why It Matters: At the current market price of $93,128.86, the 8,000 Bitcoins on the discarded hard drive are worth about $745.03 million. 
This is a significant decrease compared to mid-December 2024, when Bitcoin's value peaked at $108,268.45.
Howells had repeatedly requested permission from the council to access the landfill site, offering a share of the Bitcoin in exchange for its recovery. 
Despite his persistent efforts, the court&#8217;s ruling has put an end to his claims.

<h3>Select Medical Hldgs P/E Compared to Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 25.68 in the Health Care Providers &amp; Services industry, Select Medical Hldgs Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 8.75. 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/2025/1736450112_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.
