Jim Cramer, the host of CNBC&#8217;s &#8220;Mad Money,&#8221; recently took to social media to laud NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) CEO Jensen Huang as a &#8220;very special man.&#8221;
What Happened: On Friday, Cramer wrote on social media platform X, &#8220;The world will know about Jensen after 60 Minutes on Sunday.. this very special man&#8230;..Nvidia.&#8221;
The post was in anticipation of Huang&#8217;s feature on the prime-time American television news show, 60 Minutes, which was scheduled to air on the following Sunday.

Why It Matters: Cramer has been a long-time supporter of Huang and Nvidia. In February, he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/37268177/cramer-celebrates-national-nvidia-day-compares-ceo-jensen-huang-to-taylor-swift">compared</a> Huang to &#8220;our modern-day DaVinci&#8221; and celebrated &#8220;National Nvidia Day.&#8221; He has also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/37240744/cramer-celebrates-national-nvidia-day-compares-ceo-jensen-huang-to-taylor-swift">praised</a> Huang&#8217;s vision for the future and the company&#8217;s strong fourth-quarter earnings.
More recently, in April, Cramer <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/04/38214883/jim-cramer-backs-jensen-huang-tim-cook-amid-wall-street-skepticism-dont-scoff-when-i-tell-you-to">expressed his confidence</a> in Huang and other influential figures, urging Wall Street to trust them despite the skeptics. This latest tweet further solidifies Cramer&#8217;s admiration for Huang and his belief in the impact of Huang&#8217;s 60 Minutes feature.
In February, he compared Huang to Taylor Swift, celebrating <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/37240744/cramer-celebrates-national-nvidia-day-compares-ceo-jensen-huang-to-taylor-swift">Nvidia&#8217;s earnings day</a> as a holiday.

Despite Wall Street&#8217;s skepticism, Cramer has consistently expressed his confidence in Huang, urging investors to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/04/38214883/jim-cramer-backs-jensen-huang-tim-cook-amid-wall-street-skepticism-dont-scoff-when-i-tell-you-to">trust in his leadership</a>.

With BEQVEZ now approved for use, Pfizer is launching an innovative warranty program based on durability of patient response to treatment. The goal of the warranty is to provide greater certainty to payers, maximize access for eligible patients who receive BEQVEZ, and offer financial protection by insuring against the risk of efficacy failure.
"For people living with hemophilia, disease management can interfere with many aspects of their lives. A one-time infusion of BEQVEZ may allow eligible patients more time for the things they love," said Kim Phelan, Chief Operating Officer, The Coalition for Hemophilia B. "We are excited to have BEQVEZ as a promising treatment option for eligible people living with hemophilia B. We look forward to learning more and celebrating with the community and with Pfizer at our annual conference that is currently taking place."
BEQVEZ is currently under review with the European Medicines Agency (EMA), and the treatment recently received regulatory approval in Canada. In addition to BEQVEZ, Pfizer currently has two other Phase 3 programs investigating gene therapy in populations where there is a high unmet need: hemophilia A (giroctocogene fitelparvovec) and Duchenne muscular dystrophy (fordadistrogene movaparvovec). Additionally, a Phase 3 trial is investigating marstacimab, a novel, investigational anti-tissue factor pathway inhibitor for the treatment of people with hemophilia A and B with and without inhibitors. A Biologics License Application and European Marketing Authorization Application for marstacimab are currently under review with the FDA and EMA, respectively.

Tech earnings could come to the market&#8217;s rescue as traders remain jittery about the outcome of key inflation data due on Friday. AI giants&nbsp;Alphabet, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) and&nbsp;Microsoft Corp.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) set a positive tone for tech companies with strong performances&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/04/38445001/alphabet-q1-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-70b-buyback-first-ever-dividend-ai-leadership-and-more" rel="noreferrer noopener">in the first quarter</a>.
However, the focus will likely shift to the annual inflation rate, as measured by the Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index (PCE), the Federal Reserve&#8217;s preferred gauge. This data, released as part of the personal income and spending report at 8:30 am ET, could provide a double boost to the market. A reading in line with or below expectations could help break the recent lackluster performance.
The PCE data is particularly important because the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), the Fed&#8217;s policy-setting arm, meets next Wednesday. The futures market currently prices in a 97% chance of the Fed holding rates steady.

Insights From Analysts:
While conceding that the strength of the bull market has waned, an analyst said he does not see the end of it.
&#8220;The end of prolonged below-average bearish sentiment and above-average bullish sentiment implies investors may be losing some confidence in the strength of this bull market,&#8221; said LPL Financial Chief Technical Strategist Adam Turnquist. Technical evidence also supported this observation, he said, adding that dip-buyers stopped showing up near the S&amp;P 500's 20-day moving average earlier this month, providing a timely signal for a deeper pullback. 
The analyst, however, said the recent shift in sentiment may not mark the end of the bull market. Technically, he sees the 4,800 area on the S&amp;P 500 as a worst-case scenario in the eventuality of a pullback. 
&#8220;Confidence for a relatively limited drawdown is supported by breadth metrics holding up well, cyclical sector leadership, limited signs of panic in credit or volatility gauges, economic resiliency, and the longer-term momentum implications of this rally,&#8221; he said.
Carson Group&#8217;s Ryan Detrick also exuded optimism, albeit for a different reason. He noted that the &#8220;sell in May and go away&#8221; adage does not apply to the presidential election years. The May-October period, which typically is a weaker period for the market, tends to do well during election years, he said.

The Commerce Department is scheduled to release its personal income and spending report for March at 8:30 a.m. EDT. On a month-over-month basis, the metrics may have increased 0.5% and 0.7%, respectively, in March compared to the 0.3% and 0.8% growth in February.
The price consumption expenditure index is expected to rise 0.3% month-over-month and 2.6% year-over-year. This compares to the February rates of 0.3% and 2.5%, respectively. The monthly rate of the core price consumption expenditure index may have remained unchanged at 0.3% and the annual rate may have slowed from 2.8% to 2.7%.
The University of Michigan&#8217;s final consumer sentiment index for April, due at 10 a.m. EDT, is expected to show the reading remained almost unchanged from the flash reading of 77.9, but down from 79.4 in March. Trades may also focus on the inflation expectations readings of the report.

Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) defied expectations this week, experiencing a price increase of around 3.7% even as investors pulled a significant amount of money out of Bitcoin <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/04/38427873/blackrocks-spot-bitcoin-etf-sees-zero-inflows-as-net-outflows-tally-130m-on-wednesday">exchange-traded funds (ETFs)</a>.
What Happened: According to <a href="https://sosovalue.xyz/assets/etf">data</a> from SoSoValue, the total net outflow from Bitcoin spot ETFs on Thursday was a hefty $218 million. 
This outflow marks the first time that Fidelity&#8216;s (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FBTC#BATS">FBTC</a>) and Valkyrie&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRRR#NASDAQ">BRRR</a>) ETFs witnessed net withdrawals of $22.61 million and $20.16 million, respectively. 
Grayscale&#8216;s industry-leading (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GBTC#OTC">GBTC</a>) ETF shouldered the brunt of the outflows, experiencing a net loss of $139 million on Thursday.
Franklin Templeton&#8216;s EZBC (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EZBC#BATS">EZBC</a>) was the lone bright spot, recording a modest daily net inflow of $1.87 million, while BlackRock&#8217;s iShares Bitcoin Trust (NASDAQ: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/IBIT">IBIT</a>) recorded its second straight day of no new inflows.

Despite the overall negative sentiment in the ETF market, the price of Bitcoin continues to climb, suggesting a potential disconnect between investor sentiment in the ETF market and the underlying asset itself.
This disconnect is further supported by research from JPMorgan, which indicates a weakening correlation between Bitcoin ETF prices and investor inflows, according to a Coindesk <a href="https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2024/04/26/bitcoin-stable-above-64k-while-etf-outflows-hit-200m/?utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=rss&amp;utm_campaign=headlines">report</a>.
While the outflows are significant, it&#8217;s worth noting that they come on the heels of a strong week for Bitcoin, with its price climbing nearly 4%. 
Additionally, liquidation data suggests a relatively stable market, with only $13.48 million worth of Bitcoin longs being liquidated in the past 24 hours.
What&#8217;s Next: The recent outflows from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/04/38431467/morgan-stanley-considers-broader-bitcoin-etf-sales-through-broker-network">Bitcoin spot ETFs</a> raise questions about investor sentiment and the future of this investment vehicle. Will this trend continue, or is it a temporary blip? 
What are the long-term implications for the Bitcoin market?
