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.

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.

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.

GRT Could Offer Excellent Buy Opportunities

The Graph (GRT) is down 2.5% to $0.0827 this week, significantly underperforming the broader crypto market, where Bitcoin (BTC) is up 0.3% to $105,040. The project continues to generate positive updates announcing that its Token API Beta now supports Unichain, allowing developers to query Uniswap v3.0 price data — an improvement that expands access to DeFi pricing information.

While this update is beneficial for developers and the broader ecosystem, it has yet to reflect in GRT’s market performance. The token recently retested the broken support at $1.0000, suggesting a possible move toward $0.5000. With another 36% downside potential before reaching that level, a drop to $0.0500 could present an attractive buying opportunity.

Coin 98 Is Struggling to Hold Near Key Support

Coin 98 (CNE) is rising by 0.61% to $0.0489 this week, underperforming the broader crypto market, where Bitcoin (BTC) is gaining 1.2% to $106,060. CNE dropped by 15% to $0.0455 following the Israeli strike on Iran, marking its lowest point since April 7. The $0.0500 level now serves as a critical support zone that the token must hold. If it fails to do so, the price could deteriorate rapidly with limited chances of a near-term recovery.

CNE now finds itself at a pivotal juncture, needing to maintain current levels while awaiting a renewed Bitcoin rally, which appears increasingly likely. A sustained market upswing could enable CNE to rebound toward the $0.1000 resistance. However, any further progress hinges on breaking through a firm trend resistance, a move that, at this stage, seems rather unlikely without strong internal catalysts and the support of a broader market.

A Nice 30% Upside Potential in Baker Hughes

Baker Hughes (BKR) shares are entering what appears to be a prime accumulation zone after a prolonged correction. The stock has declined by 15% since February, now trading around $39.00, and had previously fallen as much as 27% to $33.56 in April — its lowest level since September 2024. Over the past two months, the price has consolidated within a tight range, suggesting a strong underlying support near current levels. Historically, this area has acted as a launchpad for significant rallies, and with the recent 17% surge in oil prices, the macro environment is turning increasingly favorable. As a leading oilfield services provider, Baker Hughes stands to benefit directly from increased drilling and exploration activity driven by higher energy prices. I am planning to open a long position in the $37–39 range, targeting an upside move toward $48–50, which represents a potential gain of 28–30%. A stop-loss at $28 would cap the downside near the April lows, maintaining a balanced risk-reward profile.

Oracle Grows without Limits

Oracle Corporation (ORCL) lives up to its name meaning the great ability to foresee global trends of the future. Just like a renowned ancient Greek oracle of Delphi with its priestess Pythia, who used to choose the best option of what to do in the face of uncertainty, this Oracle of Austin, Texas, made a timely bet on developing cloud computing software, which now perfectly fits to creation and scaling of data centers both in the U.S. and abroad. And now when Oracle became a pillar of a $500 billion cost data centres infrastructure project Stargate, in conjunction with ChatGPT-maker OpenAI and Japan’s SoftBank, which we already described three months ago, Oracle has already begun to reap a lot of financial benefits. Not only fate and global tailwinds, but also the current Republican administration of the U.S. favours this project, sparing no effort to support it, as they are considering the growing AI infrastructure as the next oil of the world's economy.

Power-hungry data center demand, which provides computing power for artificial intelligence and the crypto industry is pushing national power use to record highs, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) said in its Short Term Energy Outlook this month. It projected power demand to rise to 4,193 billion kilowatt hours (kWh) in 2025 and 4,283 billion kWh in 2026 from a current record of 4,097 billion kWh in 2024.

Not in some distant future, but here and now, Oracle market value gained as much as 22% during the last three trading sessions on Wall Street, jumping from a $175+ area to its highest ever weekly close above $215 per share last Friday. This happened on the wings of all-time records in its earnings report. On the night of June 11-12, the company's revenue for the quarter ended May 31 climbed to $15.90 billion to beat even a very optimistic analyst pool’s average estimate of $15.59 billion. It is especially remarkable that the sales number at Oracle’s largest unit, which is related to cloud services and license support, came out at $11.70 billion, bringing another 14% increase YoY. On this basis, Oracle earned $1.70 per share, compared with consensus expectations of $1.64, with $1.67 per share being its previous best achievement from March to May 2023.

But it is not only what has already been achieved that attracts the attention of the investing crowd. It was not the Pythia but Oracle's CEO Safra Catz who said on a post-earnings call that her company projected its total revenue to be at least $67 billion for fiscal 2026, raised her own previous annual revenue forecast due to robust demand for Oracle's cloud offerings from companies deploying artificial intelligence (AI) agenda. The Greek oracle was consulted on a wide range of matters, from personal issues to affairs of business and state, and the Pythia's pronouncements were influential throughout the entire ancient world. In nearly the same way, the AI is now the major adviser in which countless marketing departments of giant, medium and small companies see a panacea for multiplying the sales of their products and services while reducing the costs of these purposes. Oracle's annual sales are expected to rise by around 16.7%, compared with its prior official projection of a 15% growth, according to Safra Catz, as she expected Oracle's total cloud growth rate (applications plus infrastructure) could increase from 24% in fiscal year 2025 to over 40% in fiscal year 2026.

We had been targeting above $200 for the stock since the first half of March, following the financials at that time. Now, in mid-June, that target is overshot, thanks to the very latest quarterly report. Investors wishing to fix profits are free to do so, as the speed of the recent price jump for Oracle substantially exceeds the usual market standards. Some cooling pullback from levels above $215 to $200 or even slightly lower cannot be ruled out in the short-term, but medium-term targets now seemingly need to be shifted to at least $250, and this could be achieved within the coming months of 2025, rather than next year.
