Merck Becomes Interesting to Be Added to a Portfolio

Merck & Co (MRK) stocks have shown signs of becoming a compelling buy opportunity. Over the past six months, the stock has been in a downtrend, declining 29.8% to $94.50 per share. However, since mid-November, MRK has demonstrated a reversal of momentum, rebounding by 10.0% to reach $104.87 on December 5. Following a brief pullback and consolidation period, the stock has retested the downtrend resistance and appears poised to continue its upward trajectory.

With prices currently positioned to target $110.00, this represents a potential 9-10% upside from the present levels. Setting a stop-loss at $93.50 aligns with a prudent risk management strategy, providing protection against further downside while allowing for upside potential. The recent consolidation phase further supports the case for a breakout, making this an attractive moment to consider initiating or adding to a position in MRK.

Ontology Is Sliding Towards $0.2000

Ontology (ONT) is down 2.3% this week, trading at $0.2176, in line with the broader crypto market where Bitcoin (BTC) has declined 2.0% to $101,632. While the new U.S. administration has made some strides toward fairer crypto regulation, Donald Trump has remained silent on the highly anticipated issue of adding Bitcoin to U.S. federal reserves.

Market speculation is rampant, with figures like BlackRock CEO Larry Fink suggesting Bitcoin could surge to $700,000 per coin if sovereign wealth funds begin accumulating. Other forecasts predict Bitcoin reaching $250,000 by year-end. While such projections could foster optimism, the lack of decisive action or announcements regarding U.S. crypto reserves is weighing heavily on the market.

For Ontology, the situation remains bearish. Having breached the critical support at $0.2500 last week, the token is now approaching the $0.2000 level. A failure to provide clear evidence or statements about U.S. federal crypto reserve plans could see ONT fall even further, breaching the $0.2000 mark and deepening its losses.

Tezos Is Seen Hodling above $1.200

Tezos (XTZ) has declined slightly by 0.2% this week, trading at $1.249, following Bitcoin’s (BTC) drop to $89,158, which triggered widespread altcoin sell-offs due to concerns of a potential further decline in BTC to $80,000. However, Bitcoin managed to hold above the critical support level at $89,000-$91,000, offering some relief to the broader crypto market.

Speculation about a shift in U.S. trade policy has provided additional support to crypto assets. Reports suggest the new U.S. administration may pursue a gradual increase in tariffs rather than an abrupt hike, which could help alleviate inflationary pressures and lead to a less aggressive monetary stance from the Federal Reserve.

This development is a positive signal for the cryptocurrency market and may help Tezos maintain its position above the key support level of $1.200.

VeChain Is Suffering on Rising Borrowing Costs

VeChain (VET) has fallen 12.7% this week, trading at $0.0445, underperforming the broader cryptocurrency market. Bitcoin (BTC), the leading cryptocurrency, has declined by 5.6% to $93,220, with bearish momentum building as it approaches key support at $89,000-$91,000. This decline is largely attributed to tightening monetary conditions in the United States, which continue to weigh on risk assets. Investor confidence is further shaken by significant net outflows from spot BTC-ETFs, which lost $583 million on Wednesday, marking the second-largest single-day outflow on record.

If BTC falls below the critical support level of $89,000-$91,000, VeChain is likely to extend its losses, with prices potentially declining another 10% to $0.0400. A sustained drop in BTC could push VET even lower, towards $0.0300. Conversely, a strong rebound in BTC prices to the $100,000 level could drive VET back up to $0.0500, representing a recovery of approximately 12% from current levels.

Delta Is Taking Off To Update Its Highs

Delta Air Lines stock rose markedly by low double digits in the first ten days of the new year. The U.S. carrier has served more than 200 million customers in 2024, when it was also recognized by J.D. Power, a leading American data analytics and consumer intelligence company, for being No. 1 in First/Business and Premium Economy Passenger Satisfaction. Travelers became more willing to spend extra money for swanky seats when meeting a high level of service. Delta is just positioning itself as the nation's premium airline. And what's more important, its Christmas quarter's earnings reportedly surpassed average analyst pool projections. Driven by stronger travel demand, smart financial management and capacity discipline, Delta business provided last three-months' profit of $1.85 per share vs $1.28 at the same period one year ago, compared to $1.75 in consensus estimates. On January 10, the airline industry leader put its future profit levels within a range between $0.70 and $1 per share in the current quarter through the end of March, while analyst expectations were focused on $0.77 cents, according to data compiled by LSEG. The starting months of each year always perform worse. It is clear that all carriers made losses in the Covid years of 2020-2022, but Delta profits only recovered into a range from $0.25 to $0.45 in the first quarter of 2023 and 2024, respectively, but Q1 profit numbers varied from $0.75 to $0.96 even in the three blessed years before the pandemic. Delta added that it is forecasting annual earnings in excess of $7.35 a share, which would be the highest in its 100-year history, based on its planned revenue growth of 7% to 9% in the March quarter from a year ago. The announcement could be compared to an adjusted profit of $6.16 a share in 2024. The company happily breaks through ticket prices' rising effects, almost undisturbed by a reduction in airline seats in the domestic market, which was peculiar for most carriers. Thus, new expectations created a fertile ground for setting new price records, even though price movements on Delta charts look most convincing among its other American rivals.

By the way, Citigroup analysts freshly updated their outlook on Delta Air Lines shares to raise their price target to $80 from the previous $77, vs the actual range around $65 per share where the stock just came after a reasonable market correction from last week's and all-time highs. Citigroup said it has included factors like higher revenue per available seat mile, projections of slightly lower fuel prices, increased taxation, a minor rise in share count, and the incorporation of fourth-quarter 2024 results into their financial model, which has projected Delta's profit at $7.49 per share in 2024 and $8.72 in 2025. Delta shares are Buy-rated at Citi, and we agree with their positive estimates in general, while keeping in mind even better price goals somewhere between $82.5 and $85.

BAC Is Accelerating to the Upside

Bank of America (BAC) shares have accelerated to the upside, rising by 54% to $50.52 from April lows, and the price action suggests further potential gains of around 15%, with a target in the $58–60 range. The upward momentum was reinforced after the stock climbed above the midpoint of its ascending channel. In June, the shares advanced 9.2% before consolidating within the $45–49 range, a phase they successfully completed before breaking out to the upside at the end of August. This breakout signals the likelihood of a continued rally. From a trading perspective, entries around $50.00–51.00 appear attractive, with upside targets set 15% higher, while a protective stop loss could be placed at $41.90.

Dream Big with Google!

Shares of Alphabet Inc., which is the parent holding company of Google, set their new all-time record. One of my cherished tech assets, and I've written about the serious bullish outlook for Google here many many times, so I'm very flattered that this ultimately happened. The intraday high has been achieved above $215 on August 29, with the weekly and monthly closing around $213.50. Sounds awesome, but why not dream bigger? As for me personally, I'm looking for at least another $20 gain per unit to climb to $235 in the coming months even before Christmas time.

The technical side of the stock is more or less clear, since there is a breakthrough well above the previous resistance area from six months ago - then Google shares climbed up to $208.70, and now they have already went 3% higher, which can be considered a signal for more extensive purchases. The S&P 500's touching a new milestone at 6,500 also creates a favourable overall market backdrop, especially since most projections of huge and famous investment houses moved towards 6,850 or even 7,000. This tiki-taka football tactic principle to approach the next target areas above 6,500 is based on short, quick movements of this or that tech stock to go high and higher and to maintain a kind of ball possession to break down the barrier's defence sooner or later. This year, it works all the time, as the bull team is currently strong and bears have no good forwards (i.e. reasons) to run away or pass across the field. Well, here we do not deal with a kind of game, it is a place to trade businesses. And so... what are the fundamental reasons for Google's business to value it potentially much better than the market?

Foremost, I am talking about the recently concluded, and for many unexpected, business partnership of Google with the owner of Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp, Meta Platforms. Well, Meta is the giant on its own but it is essentially turning into a meta-client of Google, which emphasizes the superiority of the latter at this stage as the AI infrastructure provider for Meta's tasks. In the late August, Meta reportedly signed a $10 billion deal with Google to use Google Cloud’s servers, storage, and other capacities over the next 6 (!) years. Thus, expert discussions about whether Meta will catch up with Google in terms of search advertising fees, in a couple of years or so, are deeply overshadowed by the fact that even if Meta does, then Google will largely be the beneficiary of this process, and will also make money from Meta's race to catch Google, ha-ha.

Meta is partially abandoning its previous too challenging goal of building its own self-sufficient super intelligent AI tool to save hundreds of billions of dollars amid calls from investors about too expensive processes, that's it. Last month, Meta already raised its "bottom end" of capital expenditures for 2025 by $2 billion, to between $66 billion and $72 billion, and now they probably decided to adjust its expenditure course in another way. Very good for Meta stocks, even better for Google stocks, I think.

Another positive note is that Chat GPT creator OpenAI says it is just in talks with potential Indian partners to make a "large-scale" data center in the country. The facility will have a minimum capacity of one gigawatt, while global tech leaders "such as Microsoft, Google", and Indian-rooted Reliance Industries’ Mukesh Ambani have "already made significant investments". Open AI CEO Sam Altman may unveil the project during his upcoming visit to India this month, even though Open AI press service has so far declined to comment. I bet the news is true.

Finally, Google's own quarterly numbers continue to break historical records, both with its cloud revenues and profits and its ad business. Meanwhile, its paid clicks rise came to over 4% YoY, nearly doubled from 2% just in the previous quarter. This confirms a still growing pace of Google sales base.

Ethereum Classic Is Ready for a Rebound

Ethereum Classic (ETC) is adding 0.35% to $21.07 on Monday, slightly underperforming Bitcoin (BTC), which rose 0.55% to $109,514. Crypto assets have been under pressure since Friday, after the U.S. Court of Appeals ruled Donald Trump’s tariffs unlawful. A potential reversal of tariff policy would hit U.S. incomes, forcing the government to borrow more and driving borrowing costs higher—an outcome that could weigh heavily on crypto markets.

However, investors do not expect the worst-case scenario, as the White House plans to appeal the ruling to the Supreme Court. In the meantime, all tariffs remain in place. ETC slipped to support at $20.00 following the news, a level further reinforced by uptrend support. This should allow the altcoin to stabilise and potentially recover towards $25.00 once market conditions turn more favourable.

Ravencoin Need to Hold above $0.01500 to Confirm Upside Trajectory

Ravencoin (RVN) is losing 5.0% to $0.01234 this week, underperforming the broader crypto market, where Bitcoin (BTC) is down 2.7% to $109,798. The token has been consolidating after a sharp 122% jump to $0.02426 in July, fuelled by its listing on Upbit. However, RVN failed to sustain those levels and has since moved sideways. The current trading range is narrowing, suggesting a potential breakout ahead. Encouragingly, prices have surpassed the downtrend resistance, improving the chances of further upside. To confirm a bullish trajectory, RVN must rise above the $0.01500 resistance. Otherwise, a dip towards $0.01000 remains possible, with recovery potential thereafter.
