Bitcoin Sets Its Sights beyond $40,000, Boosting XNET stockBitcoin Sets Its Sights beyond $40,000, Boosting XNET stock higher
As has often been the case for much of the past couple of months, when bitcoin rises, a handful of stocks also perform well, including XNET stock.
On Wednesday evening, the combined capitalization of the entire cryptocurrency market surpassed $1 trillion for the first time, according to CoinDesk.
Cryptocurrency stocks continue to see outsize trading volume, leading to high volatility, as bitcoin and other alt-coins keep pushing to new highs.
Investors should keep in mind that many cryptocurrency stocks are penny stocks and incredibly easy for traders to manipulate.
Xunlei is surging by a ludicrous amount today and there's no fundamental reason to explain the move. But the stock's trading volume is almost 44 million, according to Yahoo! Finance, rivaling that of some of the largest publicly traded companies.
Xunlei's move today is reminiscent of the surge Bit Digital had during the past week. The stock more than doubled in just a couple of days but is losing steam now that the pump is over.
Herein lies the problem with stocks surging on trading volume that's out of sync with business fundamentals: There's no way to tell when the music is going to end. That's true of Xunlei and Bit Digital stocks, but also others like Marathon, Riot Blockchain, and Canaan. These three now have market caps over $1 billion each, trading with price-to-sales ratios in the hundreds.

Twitter signaling a correction, BUT!The bullish flag for now is ruined as we have turned South in the previous trading session. The support of the potential figure was breached and we closed below it. Currently we are in a fractal support of the uptrend - that's the BUT! part. Because RSI and MACD's crossover and histogram are signaling that we may head for a correction and that it's appropriate to take short positions. Breach of the current support will be the additional indicator to start selling.

Anderson from Colliers reiterated a buy ratingAnalyst Charles Anderson from Colliers reiterated a buy rating on the stock while increasing its price target from $13 to $15.
Anderson is bullish on the company's prospects related to Sony's PlayStation 5, which incorporates Immersion's haptics technology in the new DualSense wireless controller. One of the notable additions to the newest generation of the game console is the inclusion of adaptive triggers in the controller, which facilitate a new level of haptic feedback for players.
Anderson has been using the DualSense controller and called it a "breakthrough" for Immersion to score such a high-profile design win in a mass-market application. Demand for the PS5 has been off the charts, with units flying off digital shelves within minutes of retailers getting additional inventory after launching last month.
"Immersion collects a royalty from each controller and we expect more than one controller will ship per console over time to support multiplayer gaming and to replace worn-out controllers,"
"The DualSense controllers are already available at retail ahead of the PlayStation 5 console launch."
Anderson believes that Immersion will be able to expand into other markets with its haptics technology offerings, and that the company has finally created an "efficient and predictable operating model."

The analyst also notes that Immersion's fundamentals are becoming more predictable with 80% of revenue coming from per unit royalties, double the amount from four years ago.

Can DS Finally Bust This Level?Looking at the Fibs, DS is once again testing this technical level. It's been a decently strong level of resistance for months. Only was able to break above it briefly but couldn't sustain itself for more than a few days. With the vaccine set for delivery in this week, it's going to be interesting to see how epicenter stocks perform. Will we finally get that bullish move in reopening stocks?
Last month, Drive Shack reported a very solid earnings report for the third quarter ending on September 30th. In the report, the company stated that it was able to bring in revenues north of $66 million. CEO of the company, Hana Khouri, stated in its last Q filing that “we are pleased with our third-quarter results as we see our venues and courses continue to build momentum over the year. Both of these businesses delivered positive financial results in the quarter, even with the challenges we continue to face with local restrictions and mandates with large group gatherings.”

Will AXAS Break Resistance After Vaccine Delivery?It Will be interesting to see how AXAS performs this coming week now that Pfizer's vaccine is set to ship. Energy stocks will likely be a focus and might be worth watching at the very least.
"Investors should be watching these companies due to their relationship with the covid vaccine. If a vaccine comes out in a timely manner, it could mean more people out and about. This would mean that energy consumption could go up, leading to greater demand for resources. The company states that it operates as an energy company working on the exploration and development of oil and gas. It does this in the Permian Basin as well as the Rocky Mountains and South Texas. All of these areas are known to have high concentrations of oil and natural gas."

BABA - China/US tension heavy on the stockSince the first news that the US is going to ban Chinese companies to list on the US stock market, $BABA was one of the first to took the hit. This can be seen in the volume spikes when investors started to close their positions.
The two uncovered gaps to the South are also making an impression. Volatility has calmed down since then as seen in the lower volume levels, but we are not witnessing any fresh buying or selling.
Price is currently in a range after getting out of the long-term uptrend.
