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.

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.

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.

Cosmos Is Waiting for Monetary Easing

Cosmos (ATOM) is down 1.0% to $4.095 this week, nearly matching Bitcoin’s (BTC) performance, as the leading cryptocurrency slipped 0.8% to $121,651. Market sentiment remains cautious after Fed Chair Jerome Powell skipped his scheduled public appearance on Thursday. He is expected to speak next Tuesday, just before the release of September inflation data.

If Powell adopts a softer tone and inflation shows signs of easing, Bitcoin could resume its rally toward the next resistance zone at $127,000–$130,000. Such a move would likely lift altcoins as well, offering ATOM a chance to break out of its prolonged trading range between $3.500 and $5.000. A confirmed breakout would open the path toward the next resistance near $7.500.

NEO Is Struggling to Climb

Neo (NEO) is down 2.4% to $6.05 this week, underperforming the broader crypto market, where Bitcoin (BTC) has slipped only 0.6% to $121,750. The token failed to capitalise on Bitcoin’s breakout above key resistance and remains stuck in a flat range between $5.00 and $7.00. Its inability to approach the upper boundary suggests weakness in momentum, despite ongoing project activity. Neo released a platform update in mid-September, yet it has not translated into notable price gains.

Still, a renewed rally in Bitcoin could offer Neo another opportunity to retest the $7.00 resistance. If the breakout succeeds, the next target would likely be around $10.00.

ApeCoin Could Be Preparing for a Rally

ApeCoin (APE) is down 0.7% to $0.555 this week, underperforming Bitcoin (BTC), which is trading flat at $122,418. The token remains stuck in a five-month consolidation range between $0.500 and $0.600, with support holding firm while resistance appears increasingly vulnerable amid the broader crypto rally.

Bitcoin’s decisive breakout above the $117,000–$120,000 resistance zone has opened the path toward $155,000–$165,000, driven by substantial inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs. As large investors continue to pour capital into BTC, momentum across the crypto market is strengthening. Several altcoins have already broken out of their consolidation ranges alongside Bitcoin’s advance, suggesting that if the benchmark cryptocurrency continues its upward trajectory, ApeCoin could soon follow suit with a sharp move higher.

Netflix Made Money on Content, Now Let Them Share It

I now see an interesting investment opportunity in purchasing some Netflix shares after Elon Musk urged his X followers to cancel their Netflix subscriptions over a controversy surrounding “Dead End: Paranormal Park” animated show and its creator. The world's largest streaming service lost up to 5% of its market caps last week soon after Tesla and X owner posted on his platform saying, “Cancel Netflix for the health of your kids”. He did it in response to an image, which accused Netflix of carrying out a transgender woke agenda. I personally have no intention of cancelling my long-standing Netflix subscription because of one show I am not going to watch or wouldn't show to my child. Besides, I don't think a huge number of subscribers would actually unsubscribe because of one show.

I want to see Nero The Assassin right now, as only one example, where the French Césars nominated Pio Marmai starred as a man who must rescue his estranged daughter from malevolent forces in XVIth century France. I am waiting for Rowan Atkinson's return with "Man Vs Baby" as a Christmas follow-up series to Man Vs Bee, as another example. And who knows, what else? And I also want to make money on my stake in further Netflix shining. Especially since its share price has not only bounced off the local low of around $1,133, but also formed a symmetrical triangle pattern near the news-given bottom and even managed to take-off recovering to $1188. The incident seems to be over, at least in the field of stock market's reaction, while Musk's X post seems more like a warning to Netflix owners not to overdo it with untimely attempts to please queer supporting audiences. In short, I believe that Netflix share will revisit its target levels of no less than $1,350, where the price action already took place in mid-summer, with this sad episode marking the end of sideways corrections of the last three months for the stock.

As for the essence of the “Dead End: Paranormal Park” story, if anyone is still interested, I have done some research. When asked what the gender colouring is there, Google's Gemini assistant gave me an answer that the main protagonist of the show, named Barney, is transgender. And, to be more precise, Barney is an out trans teen boy who finds a job as a security guard of an amusement park with a haunted house. Barney is surrounded by friends and a family who support him, which is probably O.K. but the children marketed cartoon "seeks to explore how passive toleration isn't what every young queer person needs or wants". Well, I prefer that children of the world associate either Barney or Barny name only with a famous brand of wheat flour cake bears or a character from an old cartoon. It's too bold to mix it with children-marketed shows digging into a conflict between queer people and their parents that's directly about the trans gender world to resonate with a lot of queer wish fulfilment of fantasies.

Personally, I also feel strongly that schools, kindergartens and the film industry need to stop offering all this woke agenda to children. This topic is mentioned for a certain segment of the adult audience who are interested in it, but there's no need to ruin children's psyches by forcing explanations to very young and inexperienced minds and souls on a subject that looks alien to them and that they can't understand at their age. Yes, I'm rather conservative on these issues. But I hate the very concept of the so-called "cancel culture" much more, seeing it as a substitute for genuine debate. Boycotts of public personalities or brands after they have done or said something considered objectionable is not going along with free speech society. Again, let's remember how the magnificent Johnny Depp was almost lynched for something he didn't even try to do. "Me too" stories with claims of attempted harassment, decades later and often without any evidence, after which people were lowered to the bottom of modern society. In short, they probably should find another space for queer culture promotion, but that's no reason to cancel Netflix subscription or stop trading its shares. They made money on content; let them share it with shareholders like me and you.
