Walt Disney Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) shares are moving lower on Monday. Here&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39845396/apple-tv-takes-on-netflix-with-new-hollywood-licensing-deals">what you need to know.</a>
What&#8217;s Going On: India&#8217;s antitrust body has raised concerns about the $8.5 billion merger between its media assets and Reliance Industries (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RLNIY#OTC">RLNIY</a>). 
Announced in February, the merger wanted to form the largest entertainment entity in India, encompassing 120 TV channels, two streaming services and valuable sports rights, especially for cricket, according to Reuters.
India's Competition Commission (CCI) issued around 100 questions to both companies regarding their merger, focusing on sports rights and whether YouTube should be categorized with subscription streaming services like Netflix and Disney+. This follows a confidential submission in May by Disney and Reliance, who argued that the merger would not negatively impact competition. 
In response to the CCI, Disney and Reliance defended YouTube&#8217;s position in the market, emphasizing its licensed, paid content and extensive reach.
Jefferies estimated the combined Disney-Reliance entity could capture 40% of the advertising market in the TV and streaming sectors.
In related news, the Teamsters at Disneyland have voted <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/07/39891630/disneyland-strike-nears-14-000-workers-set-to-target-california-theme-park-in-first-walkout">overwhelmingly to authorize a strike</a>, with 99% in favor, potentially impacting Disney&#8217;s operations.
DIS Price Action: Disney shares are down by 1.68% at $94.13 at market close Monday according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro.</a>

Trader Notes: Cryptoquant Founder &amp; CEO Ki Young Ju, in his latest <a href="https://x.com/ki_young_ju/status/1815420992577007779">post</a>, highlighted that bull market investors (holders of 6 months to 2 years) offloaded most of their Bitcoin as it approached its earlier all-time high.
He adds, "If you&#8217;re selling Bitcoin now, you likely haven&#8217;t held it for over 3 years, as veteran holders aren&#8217;t selling."
CrypNuevo discussed Bitcoin's future trajectory in the context of liquidations.
