Reddits sharp selloff follows a strong quarterly report but weaker-than-expected outlook, missed user-growth expectations, and managements warning that Google search referrals are declining. Traders are debating whether the drop is an overreaction to those headwinds or whether the planned logged-in experience could further reduce traffic and growth.

Amazons quarterly earnings miss and heavy AI infrastructure spending, which pushed free cash flow negative, fueled concerns that investment is outpacing returns. Traders were divided: some focused on accelerating AWS growth and bought the post-earnings dip as shares rebounded, while others remained wary of the cash burn.

Sandisk Corp

SanDisk is drawing attention for falling sharply despite beating earnings expectations, raising its outlook and announcing a stock split, amid a broader tech and memory-stock selloff. Traders are debating whether slowing growth and a potential NAND pricing peak justify caution, while bullish voices argue the drop is disproportionate to strong results and AI-driven storage demand.

Bitcoin is the world's first decentralized cryptocurrency, created in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto. It enables peer-to-peer electronic cash transactions without intermediaries like banks or governments, operating on a blockchain secured by Proof of Work mining and the SHA-256 cryptographic algorithm.   With a fixed supply cap of 21 million coins and programmatic halvings every four years that reduce miner rewards, Bitcoin is designed as a deflationary digital asset often called "digital gold." Its value stems from solving the double-spending problem without trusted intermediaries, creating the first truly scarce digital asset with censorship resistance and permissionless access that no government, corporation, or individual can control.  Bitcoin operates as a decentralized peer-to-peer network where transactions are recorded on a public ledger called the blockchain, distributed across thousands of computers globally. Transactions are grouped into blocks added approximately every 10 minutes through mining, where specialized computers compete to solve complex mathematical puzzles.   Bitcoin has achieved mainstream adoption through multiple vectors. The January 2024 SEC approval of 11 spot Bitcoin ETFs opened Bitcoin investment to traditional finance participants, and corporations like Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) are using Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset to protect against currency debasement, offering MSTR holders amplified exposure to Bitcoin.   The Bitcoin ecosystem continues to evolve with innovations like Ordinals, which emerged in January 2023 to enable NFT-like functionality directly on Bitcoin, and BRC-20 tokens, an experimental standard for creating fungible tokens using Ordinal inscriptions. BTCFi (Bitcoin Finance) represents emerging financial applications extending beyond Bitcoin's traditional role, with protocols like Babylon allowing Bitcoin holders to stake BTC to secure Proof of Stake chains.

Bitcoin

Bitcoin is drawing attention after Binance reported a major security breach, which traders link to crypto selling and liquidations. The community is split between viewing the incident as a warning about exchange and custody risks and arguing that Bitcoin itself was not compromised and the market has held up relatively well.

TG Therapeutics Inc

A sharp run toward a 52-week high has fueled talk of momentum and possible short covering, with traders also speculating about an upcoming earnings announcement or buyout. No deal or surprise announcement is confirmed, and some investors point instead to BRIUMVI growth and upcoming clinical catalysts as the underlying story.

Iovance Biotherapeutics, Inc. engages in the development and commercialization of cell therapies using autologous tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) for the treatment of cancer.

Brooke on September 17, 2007 and is headquartered in San Carlos, CA.

Iovance Biotherapeutics Inc

Updated lung-cancer trial data for Iovances lifileucel drove a sharp selloff: the overall response rate was roughly in line with the prior update, while a high response rate appeared in a retrospectively identified biomarker subgroup and the dataset remains incomplete. Traders are split between viewing the subgroup as a promising precision-treatment strategy and worrying about durability, regulatory uncertainty, delayed progress, and managements handling of the announcement.

Apple Inc

Apples relative strength amid weakness in AI-heavy mega-cap tech is widely attributed by traders to a safe-haven rotation and its comparatively restrained AI spending, with some saying it is helping support the broader market. Bulls point to its ecosystem and cash generation, while bears argue the rally has stretched valuation and product-demand risks ahead of earnings.

Coinbase Global, Inc. engages in the provision of a trusted platform that serves as a compliant on-ramp to the onchain economy and enables users to engage in a wide variety of activities with their crypto assets in both proprietary and third-party product experiences enabled by access to decentralized applications.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), an independent regulatory agency, <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.consumerfinance.gov/about-us/newsroom/cfpb-closes-overdraft-loophole-to-save-americans-billions-in-fees/">said</a> on Thursday it has closed an outdated overdraft loophole that exempted overdraft loans from lending laws. The final rule is expected to save consumers up to $5 billion in annual overdraft fee savings, or $225 per household that pays overdraft fees.The agency’s final rule on overdraft fees applies to the banks and credit unions with more than $10 billion in assets that dominate the U.S. market.CFPB said financial institutions with more than $10 billion in assets would have to choose one of three options when charging for overdrafts. They can cap their overdraft fee at $5, which is the estimated level at which most banks could cover the costs associated with administering a courtesy overdraft program.Banks wishing to offer overdrafts as a convenient service rather than a profit center could cap their fee at an amount that covers costs and losses.Finally, financial institutions that wish to profit from overdraft lending could disclose the terms of their overdraft loan just like other loans.“This would include giving consumers a choice on whether to open the line of overdraft credit, providing account-opening disclosures that would allow comparison shopping, sending periodic statements, and giving consumers a choice of whether to pay automatically or manually,” the agency said.CFPB Director Rohit Chopra said that for far too long, the largest banks have exploited a legal loophole that has drained billions of dollars from Americans' deposit accounts."The CFPB is cracking down on these excessive junk fees and requiring big banks to come clean about the interest rate they're charging on overdraft loans,” he said.Following the announcement, bank stocks and exchange traded funds (ETFs) were in the spotlight. The Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLF), which tracks the price and yield performance of the Financial Select Sector Index, was trading marginally in the red on Thursday morning.Retail sentiment on Stocktwits inched lower into the ‘neutral’ territory (48/100) from ‘bullish’ a day ago.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1868/432;" src="https://st-everywhere-cms-prod.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/Screenshot_2024_12_12_at_10_41_10_AM_11cb6afc5c.png" alt="XLF’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 10:26 a.m. ET on Dec. 12, 2024 | Source: Stocktwits" width="1868" height="432"><figcaption>XLF’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 10:26 a.m. ET on Dec. 12, 2024 | Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>Notably, XLF has gained nearly 32% since the beginning of the year.Also See: Houston American Energy Plans To Acquire Abundia Global Impact Group, RPD Technologies: Retail Turns Extremely BullishFor updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.
