MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) stock has seemingly diverged with respect to the movement in Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) prices, this trend has been pronounced since the company started issuing more 0% convertible notes in November.
What Happened: MicroStrategy has fallen by 20.34% month-to-date about five times more than the Bitcoin prices, which was down just 4.34% in the same period.
According to an X post by the Kobeissi Letter, the gap between the two assets is widening.
MicroStrategy is the only publicly listed company holding the highest Bitcoin BTC/USD reserves, representing 2.116% of the total 21 million supply, at a cost of $41.11 billion. The company has also raised $20 billion of debt in 2024 to buy more coins.
Another post in the thread said, &#8220;For most of the year, the correlation between MicroStrategy and Bitcoin was incredibly strong. However, something began to shift over the last month, particularly as the company took on tons of debt. Then, MSTR suggested raising the authorized share count by 10 billion.&#8221;
According to Kobeissi, there shouldn&#8217;t exist such a divergence between the performance of the two assets as MSTR is considered a leveraged play on BTC. However, citing an example of a triple-levered S&amp;P 500 ETF, Kobeissi explains how the movement in such assets works.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">If <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%24MSTR&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">$MSTR</a> is really just a levered <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Bitcoin?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Bitcoin</a> play, why is there such a large divergence. Here&#39;s the S&amp;P 500 ETF, <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%24SPY&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">$SPY</a>, compared to a triple levered S&amp;P 500 ETF, <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%24SPXL&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">$SPXL</a>. Since November 1st, <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%24SPY&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">$SPY</a> is up ~3.5% while <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%24SPXL&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">$SPXL</a> is up ~9.8%. This makes sense as it is TRIPLE levered. <a href="https://t.co/CiiX0puZ6N">pic.twitter.com/CiiX0puZ6N</a>

</figure>
According to Kobeissi, the MSTR model is to first, &#8220;Borrow money through 0% convertible notes,&#8221; and &#8220;Buy Bitcoin and drive price higher.&#8221; It added that MicroStrategy then sells new shares at a premium and uses the proceeds to buy more Bitcoin &#8211; and this process repeats.

Why It Matters: Earlier on Dec. 23, MicroStrategy floated a proposal to increase the number of authorized shares of class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share, from 330,000,000 shares to 10,330,000,000 shares and preferred stock from 5,000,000 shares to 1,005,000,000 shares.
Kobeissi <a href="https://x.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1873830254877565388">said</a>, &#8220;If the plan is approved, bears will say that this is a highly dilutive move for existing shareholders. However, if it is not approved, then MicroStrategy will be unable to continue buying Bitcoin on leverage.&#8221; 
However, the odds of the share count approval being raised are high, since the company&#8217;s co-founder Michael Saylor himself currently holds 46.8% of the voting power.
Sharp deviations have also been witnessed in the exchange-traded funds <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42667093/microstrategy-etfs-face-tracking-error-because-of-volatility-here-are-the-potential-risks-investors-face">tracking</a> MicroStrategy, likely stemming from the exposure to its volatile swaps and options.
The T-Rex 2X Long MSTR Daily Target ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTU#NYSE">MSTU</a>) launched on Sept. 18, this year, and Defiance Daily Target 2x Long MSTR ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTX#NYSE">MSTX</a>) launched on Aug. 14, are the two U.S.-listed leveraged ETFs which aim to provide twice the daily returns of MicroStrategy. These have lately diverged too as it acts as a levered on-levered play
Price Action: Shares of MicroStrategy were down over 8.19% on Monday and it fell further by 3.09% to $293.59 apiece in after-hours. The stock has returned 342.15% on a year-to-date basis, compared to the Nasdaq Composite's return of 31.97% in the same period, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a> data.
About 12 analysts <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/MSTR/analyst-ratings">tracked</a> by Benzinga have a consensus ‘buy' rating on the stock with a price target of $449.5 per share.
The three most recent analyst ratings between Bernstein, TD Cowen, and Barclays imply an 86.20% upside for MSTR.

Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) is on the cusp of a significant growth phase, fueled by its leadership in AI infrastructure. 
What Happened: Investor Ross Gerber compared Jensen Huang&#8216;s chip giant current financial trajectory to Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) during the early iPhone years, highlighting the immense potential in AI, Yahoo Finance <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/nvidia-may-be-entering-a-limitless-era-investor-203859004.html">reported</a> on Tuesday.
&#8220;Nvidia is printing money like Apple did in the early days of the iPhone,&#8221; he said in an interview with Yahoo Finance.
Gerber, a decade-long investor in Nvidia and Tesla, sees the company&#8217;s growth driven by the global development of AI infrastructure, largely supported by Nvidia&#8217;s cutting-edge chips. He mentioned that Nvidia&#8217;s profitability and strong market position in the chip industry make the upcoming five years promising. 
Gerber also compared Nvidia to Tesla, adding the former has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42717543/nvidia-tops-tesla-as-better-bet-over-10-years-says-ross-gerber-must-have-in-portfolio-along-with-these-2-stocks">been a better investment</a> in the past decade.
This year, Nvidia has drawn&nbsp;$30 billion in retail investor&nbsp;inflows, ranking as the most favored&nbsp;stock among retail investors in&nbsp;2024. Despite some traders recently offloading shares, Nvidia&#8217;s stock has surged 181% year to date.
Nvidia&#8217;s founder and CEO, Jensen Huang, is set to speak at CES 2025, potentially further boosting the stock.

Why It Matters: Nvidia&#8217;s strategic focus on robotics as a new growth driver comes amid fierce competition in the AI chipmaking sector, particularly from Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. . Nvidia&#8217;s valuation <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/24/12/42721414/nvidia-targets-robotics-as-next-big-opportunity-amid-rising-ai-rivalry">surpassed $3 trillion</a>, rivaling Apple Inc. , fueled by the AI boom. The company has also invested in humanoid robotics firms like Figure AI, marking its entry into &#8216;physical AI.&#8217;
Additionally, Ibiden Co., a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/12/42718022/days-after-key-nvidia-supplier-warned-of-ai-spending-slowdown-another-nvda-partner-considers-accelerating-ex">key supplier for Nvidia</a>, is considering expanding its production capacity to meet the surging demand for AI chip package substrates. This move underscores the robust demand for AI-use substrates, with all available stock being quickly acquired by customers. Ibiden&#8217;s new substrate factory in Gifu, Japan, is expected to begin operations at 25% capacity by late 2025, eventually reaching 50% by March 2026.
Price Action: Nvidia was trading slightly lower at $137.24 in overnight trading hours on Robinhood at 2:19 am ET.

Greenbrier Gears Up For Q1 Print; Here Are The Recent Forecast Changes From Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts

Financial analyst&nbsp;Jim Bianco&nbsp;commented on&nbsp;Scottie Pippen&#8216;s prophetic dream encounters with Satoshi Nakamoto on Monday, noting that the NBA legend&#8217;s Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) forecasts have been surprisingly accurate.
What Happened: Bianco, President and founder of Bianco Research, said in an X post that Pippen&#8217;s predictions have gained attention due to their accuracy, regardless of the bizarre methods he claims to use, such as receiving messages from Bitcoin&#8217;s pseudonymous creator in dreams.
Bianco also analyzed Pippen&#8217;s most recent forecast, where the basketball star said, &#8220;Just took a nap and Satoshi whispered, &#8216;Bitcoin will go closer to Black Mamba numbers before it goes back to Chamberlain.'&#8221; 
According to Bianco, the post referenced NBA legends Kobe Bryant and Wilt Chamberlain, who scored 81 and 100 points in a single game, respectively. Put simply, Pippen expected Bitcoin to retrace to $81,000 before reclaiming $100,000.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Yes, that Scottie Pippen regularly tweets BTC price forecasts.

Why It Matters: As it turns out, the leading cryptocurrency has slipped below the key support level of $93,000 and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42735439/bitcoin-falls-below-93k-ethereum-dogecoin-slip-ahead-of-new-year-top-analyst-anticipates-problem-for-apex-crypto">risked falling further</a>. Since the Christmas surge, Bitcoin has dropped as much as 6.5%.
Earlier, Pipen grabbed eyeballs by predicting that Bitcoin <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41797612/nba-legend-scottie-pippens-prophetic-satoshi-nakamoto-dream-misses-bitcoin-numbers-on-elec">would hit $84,000</a> on Election Day. While the digital asset missed these projections, it reached $84,000 a week later.
Pippen, widely regarded as one of the NBA&#8217;s greatest players, is a known Bitcoin advocate. He has been using his social media to promote the cryptocurrency, although in ways one would consider frivolous. He said that Satoshi visited him in dreams to predict the coin&#8217;s next moves.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Bitcoin was exchanging hands at $92,648.60, down 1.11% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA.." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

NBA Star Scottie Pippen's 'Satoshi Nakamoto-Delivered' Bitcoin Forecasts Fairly Accurate, Says Financial Analyst

Although major indices settled lower on Friday, they still recorded gains last week. The blue-chip index gained around 0.4% last week, ending a three-week losing streak, while the S&amp;P 500 added 0.7%. The Nasdaq, meanwhile, rose about 0.8% during the week.
On the economic data front, the Chicago PMI fell to 36.9 in December from 40.2 in November and missing market estimates of 42.5.

What is CNN Business Fear &amp; Greed Index?
At a current reading of 27.9, the index remained in the &#8220;Fear&#8221; zone on Monday, versus a prior reading of 30.8.
The Fear &amp; Greed Index is a measure of the current market sentiment. It is based on the premise that higher fear exerts pressure on stock prices, while higher greed has the opposite effect. The index is calculated based on seven equal-weighted indicators. The index ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 represents maximum fear and 100 signals maximum greediness.

CompoSecure, Cemtrex And 3 Stocks To Watch Heading Into Tuesday

Lucid Motors (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LCID#NASDAQ">LCID</a>) has started delivering their latest offering &#8211; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/12/42432727/lucids-gravity-gets-official-range-estimate-higher-than-teslas-model-x-but-lower-than-its-own-air-sedan">the electric Gravity SUV</a> &#8211; to customers over the weekend, the company said in a post on X on Tuesday.
What Happened: &#8220;This weekend the first Lucid Gravity customers received their vehicles and departed the factory as a convoy,&#8221; Lucid wrote in a post on X. The post was accompanied by a short video of several customers checking their vehicles before riding out together from the company&#8217;s factory in Casa Grande, Arizona.

Lucid&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/41838253/lucid-rises-nearly-5-in-pre-market-after-strong-q3-results-opening-orders-for-gravity-suv" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">started taking orders</a>&nbsp;for Gravity last month. Orders are now being taken for the Grand Touring trim of the SUV starting from $94,900. Production of the lower-priced Touring trim of the vehicle, starting at $79,900, will start only in late 2025, the company previously said.
Lucid, which entered the EV market with its premium Air sedan, is looking to expand its total addressable market with the Gravity. Lucid CEO Peter Rawlinson previously said that with Gravity, the company has now entered a "market that's about 6 times larger than our addressable market last year with Air."
Why It Matters:&nbsp;The Gravity is expected to rival&nbsp;Tesla Inc.'s Model X SUV which starts at $79,990 for the base version and at $94,990 for the more premium Plaid version.
During Lucid's&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38663810/lucid-ceo-throws-down-the-gauntlet-with-48k-ev-plan-to-take-on-teslas-dominance-wait-until-our-midsi" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">first-quarter earnings call in May</a>, the CEO said that Gravity has a &#8220;significant opportunity&#8221; that the Model X did not capture. While the Model X is a bit car-like, the Gravity is a proper three-row SUV and is on track to become the &#8220;world&#8217;s best SUV,&#8221; he said.
Lucid is also looking forward to starting production of a high-volume midsized platform priced at around $48,000 in late 2026 as a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39135581/youtuber-mkbhd-praises-lucid-air-sapphire-if-it-couldnt-be-a-tesla-it-would-have-to-be-this" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">direct competitor&nbsp;</a>to Tesla's mass-market offerings Model 3 and Model Y.
The company, however, is yet to make a profit. For the third quarter, the EV company reported an adjusted quarterly loss of 28 cents per share.
Price Action:&nbsp;Lucid shares closed down 1.6% on Monday at $3.15. The stock is down by over 24% year-to-date, according to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Lucid has a consensus price target of $5.04 based on the ratings of 14 analysts tracked by Benzinga. While the highest price target of&nbsp;$12 was&nbsp;issued by&nbsp;RF Lafferty&nbsp;on&nbsp;February 23, 2023, the low of&nbsp;$2 was&nbsp;issued by&nbsp;RBC Capital&nbsp;on&nbsp;November 19, 2024.

Lucid Starts Deliveries Of Tesla Model X Competitor Gravity SUV

The EU&#8217;s USB-C directive has officially come into force, mandating a universal charging port for electronic devices.
What Happened: The directive, effective from 2025, requires mobile phones to feature a USB-C port.
All 27 EU member states had until Dec. 28 to incorporate this directive into their national laws. The regulation covers a wide range of devices, including mobiles, tablets, digital cameras, and portable speakers, among others.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/12/42715283/apples-ai-driven-growth-airtag-2-airpods-health-features-and-iphone-17-pro-this-week-in-appleverse?itm_source=parsely-api">Apple&#8217;s AI-Driven Growth, AirTag 2, AirPods&#8217; Health Features, And iPhone 17 Pro: This Week In Appleverse</a>
Laptop manufacturers have until April 28, 2026, to comply. However, certain high-power devices, like the Sony Group Corp's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SONY#NYSE">SONY</a>) PlayStation 5, are exempt.
Additionally, the directive stipulates that devices capable of charging with higher voltages or currents must support USB Power Delivery (USB-PD). This affects brands like OnePlus and Oppo.
The European Commission also permits the sale of new devices without chargers to minimize waste. A graphic on retail boxes will indicate if a charger is included, helping consumers adapt to the new regulations.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Why It Matters: The directive also allows devices to retain proprietary charging solutions alongside USB-C ports.
This means that the current MacBook lineup with MagSafe complies, as it supports charging through both Apple Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) magnetic connector and the EU-approved technology.
While many companies voluntarily embraced USB-C, the legislation applied enough pressure to compel holdouts like Apple to finally incorporate USB-C into their devices.
Despite being a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/09/34475640/heres-why-apple-took-8-years-to-bring-usb-c-to-iphone-despite-contributing-to-its-development">key contributor to the development</a> of the USB-C port, Apple was slow to adopt it for its iPhones.
The company is now facing challenges in <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/content/36090760/apple-requests-delay-in-indias-new-usb-c-port-mandate-heres-why">markets like India</a>, where similar regulations are being considered.

MagSafe Won't Be Phased Out By EU's New Directive: Here's Why MacBook Users Have Nothing To Worry About

<ul>
<li>Total revenues for the fourth quarter 2024 are expected to reach RMB162 million, representing an increase of 20% from the guidance of RMB135 million, and a year-over-year increase of 187% from RMB56.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2023.</li>
<li>Total revenues for the fiscal year 2024 are expected to reach RMB454 million, representing an increase of 6% from the guidance of RMB427 million, and a year-over-year increase of 287% from RMB117.4 million in 2023.</li>
</ul>
The upward performance reflects stronger-than-expected market demand for EHang's flagship EH216-S pilotless passenger-carrying aerial vehicles, key operational milestones, and growing momentum in the Company's business.

The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/12/42720866/bond-vigilantes-send-loud-warning-message-as-treasuries-climb-to-may-highs-is-the-santa-rally-in-serious-doubt-heres-what-analysts-say">Santa</a> Claus Rally, a typical year-end market surge, has seemingly failed to materialize this year, with stocks experiencing a recent downturn. However, this analyst expects the S&amp;P 500 index to hit 7,000 points in the first half of 2025.
What Happened: According to Fundstrat Insights, Tom Lee, the head of research at Fundstrat attributed this decline to profit-taking and investor uncertainty surrounding the Federal Reserve&#8217;s future interest rate policies. However, he emphasizes that the positive market outlook for 2025 remains largely unchanged.
According to Lee, even if the S&amp;P 500 closes the year at 5,900, it doesn&#8217;t diminish the significant potential for growth in 2025.
Looking ahead to next year, Lee said that he will closely monitor the CEO confidence index and the ISM manufacturing data for signs of economic expansion. He predicts that the S&amp;P 500 could potentially reach 7,000 in the first half of 2025, representing substantial upside from current levels.
Louis Navellier from Navellier &amp; Associates also said in his note that &#8220;It certainly appears to be a bit of profit-taking.&#8221;
According to Ed Yardeni of Yardeni Research there are multiple reasons for missing the Santa Rally. &#8220;From a sentiment perspective, there have been too many bulls. From a technical perspective, breadth has been narrowing again as a few LargeCap momentum stocks continue to outperform.&#8221;
&#8220;From a fundamental perspective, while earnings growth should remain bullish, the Fed may be done easing monetary policy for a while at the same time as the outlook for fiscal policy under Trump 2.0 is uncertain. From a valuation perspective, forward P/Es are stretched,&#8221; he added.

Here&#8217;s What Analysts Say</a> 
Why It Matters: Ryan Detrick, the chief market strategist at Carson Research, in an earlier X post had highlighted that no other seven-day period except the last seven days of the year is more likely to be higher. This period of &#8216;Santa Rally&#8217; has given positive returns at least 78.4% of the time.

Reinstalling confidence among investors Navellier added &#8220;Normally, we rally going into New Year&#8217;s, and we normally rally in the new year. So, if we don&#8217;t, it means we have to wait until the A team comes back, which will of course be after the New Year&#8217;s holiday.&#8221;

Wall Street Meets The Grinch Instead Of Santa But This Analyst Believes 'S&P 500 Can Get Close To 7,000' In First Half Of 2025

A new leak reiterates that Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) is reportedly set to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41699427/apples-iphone-17-base-models-could-finally-get-this-highly-requested-pro-feature">improve the display technology</a> in its upcoming iPhone 17 series.
What Happened: Over the weekend, Weibo-based Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station said that supply chain materials support the rumors of a higher refresh rate for the standard iPhone 17.
Although the exact refresh rate wasn&#8217;t specified, earlier reports suggest a 120Hz ProMotion rate, which was previously exclusive to Pro models, might be implemented.

ProMotion technology, enabled by low-temperature polycrystalline oxide (LTPO) panels, allows for variable refresh rates from 1Hz to 120Hz.
This technology enhances user experience with smoother scrolling and video playback, and always-on functionality for time, widgets, and notifications on Lock Screens.

Why It Matters: Earlier, Ross Young from Display Supply Chain Consultants indicated that both the standard iPhone 17 and a new model, tentatively named &#8220;iPhone 17 Air,&#8221; will feature ProMotion displays.
This shift means all four iPhone models in 2025 will have ProMotion, eliminating the 60Hz displays that have been standard in previous base models.
Meanwhile, Novatek&#8217;s OLED technology could play a crucial role in the design of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41195325/apple-might-have-just-found-the-technology-to-power-its-thin-iphone-17-air-display">ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air</a>.
Leaks regarding iPhone 17 Pro Max suggest that the device could feature 12GB DRAM and upgraded cooling systems. These enhancements, along with improved on-device AI capabilities, are likely to be <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41195325/apple-might-have-just-found-the-technology-to-power-its-thin-iphone-17-air-display">major selling points</a> for the iPhone 17 Pro Max.

Starship is currently in the testing and development phase. The company has conducted six test flights of the vehicle thus far starting in April 2023 but without a payload. The last flight test took place in November.
Why It Matters: Earlier this month, Musk said that the version of the Starship spacecraft planned for the launch vehicle's&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42455167/spacex-rolls-out-starship-for-testing-ahead-of-next-flight-will-the-7th-test-happen-before-2024-end" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">seventh test flight</a>&nbsp;features "major" design improvements.
"Lighter, easier to manufacture, and less susceptible to high heating," Musk said in a post on X about the new version of the spacecraft.
For the upcoming flight test, SpaceX will attempt to land the Starship spacecraft in the ocean yet again.
&#8220;We will do one more ocean landing of the ship. If that goes well, SpaceX will attempt to catch the ship with the tower (launch tower at Starbase),&#8221; Musk previously said.
Catching the booster of the vehicle as well as the spacecraft back at the launch tower at Starbase is an important demonstration of the vehicle&#8217;s reusability. 
SpaceX is attempting to make its rockets reusable to bring down the cost of spaceflight.
In July 2023, Musk warned that rocket manufacturers will&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/07/33383081/elon-musk-tells-rocket-makers-go-all-in-on-reusability-or-be-utterly-uncompetitive" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">need to go all-in on reusability</a>&nbsp;or risk being uncompetitive.
"Rockets are no different from other transport technologies, just harder to make reusable. No one would buy a single-use airplane, car, or even bicycle! You'd need to tow another car just for the return trip," Musk said.

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk Says Starship's 7th Test Flight Slated For Jan 10

XRP (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/xrp/usd">XRP</a>) might have retraced sharply in recent days, but one influential analyst on Monday predicted massive upsides for the payment-focused cryptocurrency in 2025.
What happened: Ali Martinez, a well-known chartist, observed a "promising setup" for XRP, prompting him to set a price target of $11.
Martinez identified a falling wedge pattern, commonly interpreted as a bullish indicator by technical analysts.
If the projections turn out to be accurate, it would imply a 450% increase, or more than a fivefold jump, from XRP's current market price.

</div>
</figure>
Martinez also observed the converging Bollinger Bands on XRP's daily chart, indicating a sharp price movement could be on the cards.

Another widely followed analyst, Javon Marks, joined the bullish optimism, drawing comparisons to the 2017 bull market.
"XRP&#8217;s current 3-day timeframe is currently looking extremely similar to that 2017 run, even more so, and prices right now may only be getting ready to come out of an &#8216;intermission phase&#8217; before yet another &#8216;groundbreaking&#8217; bullish rally," Marks remarked.

Why It Matters: A handful of other technicals supported XRP's rally in the days ahead. The popular Bull Bear Power indicator, used for measuring the strength of buyers and sellers in the market, flashed a "Buy" signal, <a href="https://in.tradingview.com/symbols/XRPUSD/technicals/">according </a>to TradingView.
The Commodity Channel Index, which measures the difference between the current price and the historical average price, also signaled "Buy" for the fourth-largest cryptocurrency.
The Relative Strength Index, though, was still "Neutral," suggesting balance between bullish and bearish market forces.
Price Action: At the time of writing, XRP was exchanging hands at $2.02, down 2.92% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>. The coin has been one of the biggest gainers of 2024, surging 227% year-to-date.

최근의 전개 상황에 따르면 아마존닷컴(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>)은 늘어나는 수요를 촉진하기 위해 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/39568237/tech-giants-eye-nuclear-power-to-fuel-ai-boom-raising-concerns-over-stability-and-environmental-" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">원자력 에너지에 대한 관심을 높이고 있을 수</a> 있다.
이 거대 기술 기업은 데이터 센터 엔지니어링 부서의 수석 원자력 엔지니어 <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/principal-nuclear-engineer-datacenter-engineering-power-generation-solutions-at-amazon-web-services-aws-4007936223" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">채용 공고</a>를 다시 게시하여 장기적인 에너지 전략에 대한 의문을 제기했다.
신흥 초소형 원자로 기술 회사인 나노 뉴클리어 에너지(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NNE#NASDAQ">NNE</a>)는 이전에 트위터였던 X의 소셜 미디어 <a href="https://x.com/nano_nuclear/status/1827024271731802146" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">게시물</a>에서 이 채용 공고를 언급했다.
왜 이것이 중요한가 (Why This Is Important): 아마존의 이 채용 공고는 탈렌 에너지(Talen Energy)가 올해 초 아마존 웹 서비스(AWS)에 960메가와트 데이터 센터 캠퍼스를 6억 5천만 달러에 판매하기로 합의한 직후 나온 것이다. 이 거래에는 서스퀘하나(Susquehanna) 원자력 발전소로부터의 10년간 전력 공급 계약이 포함되어 있다.
이는 특히 Amazon의 청정, 무탄소 에너지원에 대한 의지를 강조한다.
아만존의 한 대변인은 <a href="https://www.ans.org/news/article-5842/amazon-buys-nuclearpowered-data-center-from-talen/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">미국 원자력 학회</a>에 &#8220;기상 조건에 따라 에너지를 생성하는 풍력 및 태양광 프로젝트를 보완하기 위해 새로운 혁신 및 기술을 탐색하고 다른 청정, 무탄소 에너지원에 투자하고 있다. 탈렌 에너지와의 탄소 없는 에너지에 대한 이 계약은 그 노력의 일환이다&#8221;라고 말했다.
추가 읽기: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/03/37627399/amazons-shot-at-nuclear-power-play-will-the-tech-giants-latest-move-redefine-green-energy-for-data-c" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">아마존의 원자력 발전 시도 &#8211; 이 기술 대기업의 최신 움직임이 데이터 센터를 위한 청정 에너지를 재정의할까?</a>
7월 10일에 발표된 한 <a href="https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/sustainability/amazon-renewable-energy-updates" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">보고서</a>에서, 아마존은 데이터 센터, 기업 사무실, 식료품점, 주문 처리 센터를 포함한 전 세계 운영 전반에 걸쳐 사용되는 전력의 100%를 재생 가능 에너지에서 조달한다는 목표를 달성했다고 발표했다. 이 목표는 원래 2030년으로 설정되었으며, 이 회사는 태양광 및 풍력 프로젝트에 대한 투자를 계속하면서 원자력 및 배터리 저장 솔루션을 탐색하여 에너지 수요를 유지할 계획이다.
원자력 에너지에 대한 관심이 논란이 될 수 있는 이유
아마존의 원자력 야망은 논란의 여지가 있다.
미국 원자력 학회의 <a href="https://www.ans.org/news/article-6180/aep-exelon-ask-ferc-to-scrutinize-amazontalen-data-center-deal/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">보고서</a>에 따르면, 탈렌 에너지와의 협정 이후 유틸리티 회사들인 아메리칸 일렉트릭 파워 컴퍼니(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AEP#NASDAQ">AEP</a>)와 엑셀론 코퍼레이션(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EXC#NASDAQ">EXC</a>)이 이 전기 공급 계약은 아마존이 전력망의 혜택을 누리면서 그 유지비용에 기여하지 않게 한다고 주장하며 연방 에너지 규제 위원회(FERC)에 공식적으로 이의를 제기했다.
그들은 데이터 센터의 전력 사용량이 그리드의 리소스와 간접적으로 연결되어 있기 때문에 이것이 다른 PJM 요금 납부자의 비용 증가로 이어질 수 있다고 주장합니다. PJM 요금 납부자는 펜실베이니아-뉴저지-메릴랜드 상호 연결(PJM)의 고객입니다.
그들은 이것이 다른 PJM 요금 납부자들의 비용 증가로 이어질 수 있다고 주장한다. 데이터 센터의 전력 사용은 간접적으로 전력망의 자원과 연결되어 있다. PJM 요금 납부자들은 펜실베이니아-뉴저지-메릴랜드 인터커넥션(PJM)의 고객들이다.
그뿐만이 아니다!
히트 맵(Heat Map)의 3월 <a href="https://heatmap.news/technology/amazon-nuclear-talen-energy">보고서</a>에 따르면, 아마존은 새로운 무탄소 에너지원을 우선시하지 않고 저비용 전력 확보에 초점을 맞추면서 에너지 전략과 관련하여 거대 기술 기업들 사이에 분열이 나타났다. 반면, 알파벳(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>)과 마이크로소프트(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>)는 종합적인 무탄소 에너지 솔루션을 목표로 하고 있다.
마이크로소프트와 구글은 안정적인 전력 공급을 보장하기 위해 원자력 발전에 대한 관심을 증가시켰으며, 이는 지속 가능한 에너지 관행에 대한 더 넓은 약속을 반영한다.
아마존이 원자력 프로젝트를 진행하면서 혁신과 규제 검토의 교차점은 에너지 전략을 형성하는 데 중요한 역할을 할 것이다.
이 회사가 원자력 엔지니어들을 채용하는 것은 이 분야에서의 진지한 의도를 강조하지만, 이러한 결정의 함의는 에너지 부문 내의 관계에 상당한 영향을 미칠 수 있다.
아마존의 원자력 발전 진출이 보다 지속 가능한 미래로 가는 길을 열 것인지, 아니면 이미 복잡한 에너지 환경에서의 입장을 복잡하게 만들 것인지 궁금하다.
<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>에 따르면 아마존의 주식은 지난 1년 동안 48% 이상 상승했다. 투자자들은 ProShares Online Retail ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ONLN#NYSE">ONLN</a>)와 Fidelity MSCI Consumer Discretionary Index ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FDIS#NYSE">FDIS</a>)를 통해 주식에 노출될 수 있다.

아마존닷컴(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>)의 CEO인 앤디 제시(Andy Jassy) 가 <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/amazon-ceo-andy-jassy-says-213018283.html?fr=yhssrp_catchall">관리 계층을 축소</a>하고 직원을 내년 1월부터 주 5일 사무실로 복귀하게 할 것이라고 발표했다. 세계 최대의 온라인 소매업체이자 클라우드 컴퓨팅 회사인 아마존은 억만장자 제프 베이조스에 의해 설립된 기업이다.
이 변경 사항은 월요일 직원들에게 보낸 메모에서 회사의 베테랑들이 불필요한 회의와 승인 단계를 없애고 일을 더 쉽게 처리할 수 있도록 하려는 것이라고 블룸버그가 <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-09-16/amazon-ceo-wants-workers-in-five-days-a-week-leaner-management?srnd=homepage-americas&amp;sref=TBDibEcD">보도</a>했다.
제시는 아마존의 각 주요 부서가 2025년 3월 말까지 관리자 대비 개별 기여자의 비율을 15% 증가시켜야 한다고 말했다. 변경 사항에는 불필요한 프로세스에 대한 우려를 제기할 수 있는 관료주의 신고 전화도 포함되어 있다.
팬데믹이 끝난 이후 아마존은 직원들이 팀의 필요에 따라 주 3일 이상 출근해야 한다고 요구했다. 제시는 아마존의 새로운 사무실 복귀 정책은 특별한 사정이나 이전에 승인된 원격 근무 직무에 대한 예외를 둘 것이라고 말했다.

전 세계 약 150만 명의 아마존 직원 대부분은 물품을 검색하고 패키지를 배송하는 시간제 직원으로, 원격 근무가 결코 선택 사항이 아닌 사람들이지만, 이 회사는 수십만 명의 사무직 직원을 고용하고 있다.
이 변화는 아마존이 운영되는 도심의 유동인구를 증가시킬 수 있다. 예를 들어, 시애틀, 워싱턴주 벨뷰, 버지니아주 알링턴, 샌프란시스코, 텍사스주 오스틴, 보스턴, 테네시주 내슈빌 등이 있다.
이 회사는 이미 직원들을 사무실로 복귀시키려는 노력을 시도했지만, 직원들은 회사가 융통성이 없고 대면 근무가 더 나은 결과를 가져온다는 데이터를 제시하지 못했다고 주장하며 저항했다.

아마존닷컴(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>)은 파란색 배달 트럭들이 사람들의 문앞에 지속적으로 패키지를 배달하고 있다는 점을 감안할 때 소비자들이 주로 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40751108/whats-going-on-with-amazon-stock-friday">전자 상거래 회사</a>로 간주할 수 있지만, 한 애널리스트 다르게 주장한다.
&#8220;우리의 관점은 전자 상거래가 아마존의 주가를 주도하지 않는다는 것이다&#8221;고 니덤(Needham)의 애널리스트인 로라 마틴(Laura Martin)이 목요일 메모에서 말했다.
"우리는 아마존이 제품 회사가 아닌 서비스 회사(예: 광고, 클라우드, 프라임 비디오 등)라고 믿으며, 전자 상거래는 제품에 관한 것이다. 매 분기마다 우리는 부분합(Sum-of-Parts) 가치 평가를 계산하며, 대부분의 분기에 투자자들이 아마존의 전자 상거래에 대해 거의 비용을 지불하지 않고 있다고 결론을 내린다.&#8221;
그녀는 올해 2분기 아마존의 순수익이 전년 동기 대비 15% 증가한 864억 달러로 3개월 동안 회사 매출 1,480억 달러의 58%를 차지했으며 제품 판매 매출보다 4배 빠른 속도로 성장했다고 언급했다.
그녀는 분기별 제품 매출이 2021년 1분기부터 매년 4분기를 제외하고 매 분기 약 610억 달러 수준으로 정체됐다고 말했다.
마틴은 "아마존의 서비스 매출은 지난 11분기 동안 제품 매출보다 높았으며 그 격차가 확대되고 있다"고 썼다.
&#8220;우리는 전자 상거래가 아마존의 출발점이라고 믿지만 광고, 클라우드, GenAI 및 기타 서비스와 같은 고마진 사업은 아마존이 가는 방향이다&#8221;고 그녀가 덧붙였다.
마틴은 Amazon의 전자상거래 비즈니스가 고객의 요구에 매우 적응력이 뛰어나고 배송 속도를 지속적으로 단축하기 위해 &#8220;거대한&#8221; 물류 네트워크에 전념하고 있지만, 당일 배송을 유지하는 데 상당한 비용이 소요된다고 지적했다.
그녀는 높은 비용이 단일 박스에 보내는 품목 수가 적고, 빈 배송 트럭이 운영되며, 당일 배송을 위해 더 많은 연료와 이동이 필요하기 때문이라고 설명했다.
&#8220;우리는 재무가 아마존이 전자 상거래 비즈니스를 손실 우선 전략으로 사용한다고 지원한다고 믿고 있다&#8221;고 그녀가 말했다.
&#8220;이 개념은 여러 전문가들이 아마존의 소매 전략이 역사적으로 1P 및 3P 전자 상거래 비즈니스 모두에서 낮은 마진을 유지한 다음, 프라임 구독 및 광고와 같은 고마진 수익원을 추가하여 이익 마진을 개선하려고 시도했다고 언급한 것으로 뒷받침된다.&#8221;
