$CAN Announced all time high purchased bitcoin mining machinesCanaan Announces Improved Revenue Visibility in 2021
today announced that its revenue visibility has improved substantially in 2021 as a result of attaining purchase orders totaling more than 100,000 units of bitcoin mining machines from customers in North America. Many of those purchase orders were placed with prepayment and will likely occupy the Company’s current manufacturing capacity entirely for the full year of 2021 and beyond. With those fully committed purchase orders, the Company now enjoys a much higher degree of revenue visibility and more precise forecast. As such, the Company is able to leverage such information and additional liquidity to conduct its component purchases, production scheduling, warehousing and logistics.
In late 2020, we shifted our client base to mostly publicly traded companies and bitcoin-focused investment funds which tend to place sizable orders with longer-term commitment. As a result, we can now forecast our revenue much more precisely.
This development from Canaan isn't a total surprise. After all, the price of Bitcoin has risen dramatically in recent months, and that attracts more miners to the pool. When more miners join the Bitcoin blockchain network, it adds to the hashrate. According to Blockchain.com, the total hashrate for Bitcoin has spiked to all-time highs in recent days.

$BRQS shares were buoyed — thanks to discussions and speculation on Twitter and Twitter hashtags at the start of the month..

Potential REVERSAL in JMIAHey all,
JMIA shows sign of reversal to the UPSIDE. At least the Bullish BAT Pattern and the recent price actions suggest it.
Why this can be a good pattern? Well, because:
1. Pattern has a very tight PRZ. The range of the zone is only 30 cents wide.
2. The PRZ is right above 200 MA which is very strong support.
3. Pattern completion is not premature and pattern symmetry is around 0.8
4. The price goes sideways for a while. The volume is also very low. This means that bears are out of breath and they are ready to leave the scene to bulls.
Okay! These are all good things. How about some negatives:
1. The dollar is strong and still wants to go upwards. The DXY wants to test 95 or even higher to me. So, this adds a little doubt to the analysis. On the other hand, this whole time while the dollar gained strength, JMIA didn't sell off aggressively like other tech stocks which is good.
2. The pattern starting points is controversial. This is my biggest concern. I tried to draw this pattern in a few different ways and I think this is the one that makes the most sense. Although there are other possibilities, all the valid patterns suggest a similar PRICE REVERSAL ZONE. Therefore, I don't think that the analysis can be way off.
I am honestly expecting another week of a strong dollar, but I don't expect a long term strong dollar. It is against the policy of the FED and the U.S. government. Therefore, if there is a reversal, I expect it to be a strong reversal. I marked potential profit-taking levels. Make your own decision.
I appreciate constructive feedback! Have a great weekend!
Completes Sale of Cimatron and GibbsCAM Businesses3D Systems Completes Sale of Cimatron and GibbsCAM Businesses and Provides Preliminary Financial Results for Fourth Quarter 2020
- Announces Date of Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2020 Financial Results
- Close of sale of non-core software businesses for cash proceeds of approximately $64 million
- Repayment of all debt outstanding under senior secured term loan. With the paydown of the term loan, the company is now free of any outstanding debt but continues to have availability under its senior secured revolving credit facility, which remains fully undrawn at this point.
- Official termination of ‘At-the-Market’ Equity Offering Program
- Strong Q4 preliminary financial performance with expected revenues between $170 million and $176 million
- Expected revenue reflects strong organic growth exceeding 20% in both Healthcare and Industrial business units on a consecutive quarter basis.
Essentially debt-free now, and free to focus on its two core 3D printer making businesses (industrial and healthcare), the company also noted that in addition to the better-than-expected sales, it is likely to report anywhere from $11 million to $19 million in pro forma profit for Q4.
Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) results could still be as bad as an $8.6 million loss, but there's at least the possibility that 3D will eke out a GAAP profit of as much as $0.5 million this quarter.

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.

Swing Trade Idea: Long over 130 low resistance & tons of supporteasy play based on solid consistent rev growth on a hot sector
Long on ALibaba..... Possible Swing Trade (might reach 230) Price has been in an uptrend
Price has retraced and respected the 38.2 fib creating a double bottom and possibly completing the right shoudler of a H&S Pattern
price has also found support/respected the lower trend line........
Price also found support at the 20 MA average (NOT SHOWN ON HERE)
This stock is overall bullish, but some negative light has been shed around one of the executives, but I don't think it will have a huge negative affect on the "value" of stock price.
Could be a possible swing trade.... Earnigs are scheduled for MAY 13
SHORT NVIDIA TO THE GROUND!Huge position trade available soon, I do not know exactly where, I will probably miss it.
When the crypto ponzi goes down and mining is not profitable anymore (soon) the NVIDIA bubble will go down with it.
That crazy rise is going to be over. This is too much.
Oh and the major MONTHLY bearish divergence is not in favor of the bulls.
Riiiip.
Zooming in might help finding the top with decent precision.
(This is in the long term - several months, not saying it goes down tomorrow)
