This indicator is crucial for traders who want to know directionally where institutions and so-called "smart money" moves in the market.

Signal description
Order flow analytics, aka transaction or market flow analysis, separates and studies both the retail and institutional volume rate of orders (flow). It involves analyzing the flow of buy and sell orders, along with size, timing, and other associated characteristics and patterns, to gain insights and make more informed trading decisions. This particular indicator is interpreted by active traders as a bullish signal.&nbsp;
The Power Inflow occurs within the first two hours of the market open and generally signals the trend that helps gauge the stock&#8217;s overall direction, powered by institutional activity in the stock, for the remainder of the day.&nbsp;
By incorporating order flow analytics into their trading strategies, market participants can better interpret market conditions, identify trading opportunities, and potentially improve their trading performance. But let's not forget that while watching smart money flow can provide valuable insights, it is crucial to incorporate effective risk management strategies to protect capital and mitigate potential losses. Employing a consistent and effective risk management plan helps traders navigate the uncertainties of the market in a more controlled and calculated manner, increasing the likelihood of long-term success

Tradepulse Power Inflow Alert: NVDL, Graniteshares 2X Long NVDA Daily ETF Rises 6% After Signal

Tesla Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tsla#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) is having its Robotaxi Day this week. The &lsquo;We, Robot&rsquo; event will be held on October 10th&nbsp;in Hollywood as Tesla booked the massive&nbsp;Warner Bros. Discovery Inc. Studios to unveil its latest model. Considering the impressive venue and the fact&nbsp;that Tesla had delayed this&nbsp;event in order to make some important changes, expectations are high and there are many speculations of what the EV king plans to unveil, the day promises to be &quot;one&nbsp;for the history books&quot;.
Optimizing the charging process.&nbsp;
Yet, the week got kicked off by Nissan Motor Co Ltd (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nsany#OTC">NSANY</a>)&nbsp;deciding to join Bayerische Motoren Werke Aktiengesellschaft (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bmwyy#OTC">BMWYY</a>), Ford Motor (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/f#NYSE">F</a>), and Honda Motor Co (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/hmc#NYSE">HMC</a>), or more precisely the trio&rsquo;s EV integration joint venture.&nbsp;Through its investment, Nissan revealed it will become an equal 25% investor&nbsp;in ChargeScape. BMW and Honda had presented ChargeScape&rsquo;s software that optimizes charging. Through ChargeScape, BMW, Honda, Ford and now Nissan, will provide bidirectional charging, allowing EVs to send power back to the grid when needed, while optimizing the charging process by coordinating with real-time grid demands. Also, BMW, Ford, Honda and Nissan will be providing financial incentives to EV owners to reduce energy use during peak times.&nbsp;
Bringing more clean energy to the EV table.
Having already established a reputation for its &lsquo;made-in-the-USA&rsquo; hybrid and clean energy solutions for light trucks, Worksport Ltd. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/wksp#NASDAQ">WKSP</a>) is preparing for a market release of its solar-powered tonneau cover, SOLIS&nbsp;&nbsp;and the COR portable energy system. This clean energy power duo that promises off-grid power on the go has the potential to propel Worksport&rsquo;s mid to long-term revenues. Worksport already has an ongoing collaboration with Hyundai who secured access to these groundbreaking accessories. Also, Worksport will be releasing one of the most in-demand tonneau cover models, AL4 premium tonneau Cover, in the fourth quarter, with innovative four-fold design that offers enhanced functionality and ease of the use. By launching three new product lines, Worksport is aiming to strengthen its positioning and expand market reach. In the fourth quarter, Worksport will also be implementing cost-saving measures to&nbsp;enhance margins and&nbsp;lower operational overhead&nbsp;without compromising growth. With these key strategic advances that will undoubtedly accelerate revenue growth and boost margings, Worksport is aiming for&nbsp;cash flow positivity un 2025.&nbsp;
While Tesla still holds the EV crown, long gone are the days it had the EV throne to itself. Besides already sharing the crown with BYD Company Limited (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/byddy#OTC">BYDDY</a>) on some fronts, both traditional automakers and newcomers are also shaping the EV landscape that is in the making, such as Worksport whose SOLIS and COR off-grid clean power duo promises to revolutionize the pickup experience altogether.&nbsp;

The EV Evolution Goes On With New Developments

In a recent conversation with Chris Wallace on CNN Max, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/40963028/suze-orman-says-keep-your-car-for-15-years-or-longer-instead-of-leasing-a-new-one-every-3-years-">Suze Orman</a> highlighted that while the stock market is performing well, it doesn't reflect how most American households are really doing financially. 
"What if I were to tell you that 75% of the people in the United States don&#8217;t have $400 to their name in case of an emergency?" Orman said, describing the financial situation of ordinary Americans as &#8220;really, really bad.&#8221;

</ul>
Although we often use the stock market to measure <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/06/39565555/suze-orman-breaks-on-the-overall-economy-vs-an-individual-economy-says-on-an-individual-level-i-">economic health overall</a>, Orman emphasizes that it doesn't reliably tell us how the everyday American is doing. &#8220;On the whole, ordinary human beings in America today are living paycheck to paycheck and they&#8217;re not doing well at all," she explained.&nbsp;
As household debts rise and reliance on credit cards increases, it's clear that individuals may be in a deeper financial crisis. Last summer, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/08/40420920/we-have-the-highest-credit-card-debt-in-the-history-of-earth-says-grant-cardone-america-needs-to">U.S. credit card debt</a> surpassed $1 trillion for the first time, a milestone that Orman pointed to as a symptom of a much larger issue.

Even as some sectors of the economy show strength, Orman made it clear that inflation makes it difficult for most Americans to keep up. Wallace, taken aback by Orman's statistics, asked her to elaborate on what she described as a "financial pandemic."
"We're in a pandemic in that there isn't a financial vaccine to cure this," Orman explained, adding that the crisis won't be resolved by external forces. The only way forward, she argues, is for individuals to take responsibility for their financial well-being. "The government's not gonna save them. The economy is not gonna save them. They&#8217;re gonna have to be their own financial vaccine so to speak."

<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />
Orman's stark warning reflects a growing disconnect between market performance and individual financial health. While stock market gains might boost portfolios for wealthier Americans, many face difficult choices, living paycheck to paycheck with little to no safety net.
A recent MarketWatch survey corroborates Orman, stating that nearly two-thirds of Americans feel like they are living paycheck to paycheck. The report statistics were pulled by nearly 48% of people earning $100,000 or more annually and 36% earning $200,000 or more.
In response to this crisis, Orman has cofounded SecureSave, a business that addresses one critical component of personal finance: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/08/40531988/you-dont-need-emergency-savings-says-grant-cardone-claims-that-three-months-of-savings-in-case-o">emergency savings</a>.

<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />
"The goal of money is for you to be secure," Orman told Wallace. She explained that SecureSave partners with employers to allow workers to automatically save a portion of their paycheck, making it easier to build an emergency fund without thinking too much about it.
With the program, employees can save small amounts, such as $25 per paycheck, and some employers offer to match a portion of those contributions. &#8220;Within a year period of time, they have about $1,000,&#8221; Orman noted, adding that the goal isn't to amass large sums right away but rather to establish a savings habit that can lead to bigger habits like saving for retirement.

<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />
These emergency savings accounts are FDIC-insured and employees can access the money whenever needed.&nbsp;
The stock market may be doing well, which is great for retirement and investment accounts, but many people don't have the basics of emergency savings. Orman's message is that security doesn't come from market gains – not that it can't help – but from building healthy financial habits like emergency savings that can provide stability in uncertain times.&nbsp;

Suze Orman Says The Personal Finance Of Americans Is 'Really, Really Bad' Even Though The Stock Market Is Doing Great

Some analysts think the market can't be timed. They think that it follows a &#8220;random walk.&#8221; These analysts are wrong.
Successful traders can identify important price levels. They know when a stock reaches one of them, there is a good chance the trend reverses. That's how they time the market and profit. An example of this can be seen on the chart of Southern Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SO#NYSE">SO</a>). This is why it is our<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/stock-of-the-day"> Stock of the Day.</a>
The $88.50 level has been important for Southern Company since early August. It was resistance then and now it's a support level.
In the stock market, price levels that were once resistance can turn into support levels. It is a common occurrence. There is a reason for this. It isn't &#8220;random,&#8221; it is because of market psychology.
There are traders and investors who thought selling their shares was a good idea when the price traded lower. But some of them thought they made a mistake when the stock broke the resistance and moved higher.

Many of these remorseful sellers decide to buy their shares back, if they could get them for the same price they sold them at. As a result, when<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SO"> Southern</a> <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/SO">Company</a> reversed and got back to the level that had been resistance, they placed buy orders.
If there are enough of these buy orders, the level that was resistance can convert into a support level. As you can see on the chart, this was the case with the $88.50 level for Southern Company.
Successful traders know that markets are not random. Market moves are the result of investor and trader psychology. This psychology results in some price levels having more importance than others.
When a stock reaches one of them, savvy traders know there's a good chance the trend reverses. They also know there will be chances for low-risk trading opportunities.

Forward Air Says Refreshed Board And Management Team Are Actively Analyzing Business And Strategy To Ensure Company Pursues Best Path Forward To Enhance Shareholder Value

Stronger-than-expected U.S. economic data and surging oil prices are reshaping market expectations for the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/interest-rates">Federal Reserve&#8217;s November meeting. </a>
Traders, who initially expected an aggressive 50-basis-point rate cut, are now opting on a smaller 25-basis-point move, with odds of a potential pause in the Fed&#8217;s easing cycle surging sharply in recent hours.
Following the 50-basis-point rate cut in September, a hold could be seen as an admission that the Fed may have been significantly wrong about the weakness in the U.S. labor market.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">A Surprising Economic Upswing</h1>
The U.S. economy continues to defy predictions of a slowdown. 
In September, the U.S. economy added a staggering 254,000 nonfarm payrolls, far exceeding forecasts of 140,000 and the 12-month average of 200,000. The unemployment rate fell unexpectedly to 4.1%, and wage growth accelerated, beating economists' expectations across the board. These factors are making it harder for the Fed to justify additional aggressive cuts in the short term.
Adding fuel to the fire, geopolitical tensions in the Middle East have escalated dramatically. 
The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, fueled by Iran&#8217;s missile attacks and the threat of Israeli retaliation, has sent oil prices skyrocketing by over 11% in just five days, with West Texas Intermediate crude breaking through $77 per barrel. 
This surge in energy prices has pushed inflationary pressures higher, pushing traders to contemplate the option of a hold in interest rates.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Traders Eye Bets On Fed Holding Rates</h1>
With the economy firing on all cylinders and inflation risks rising, traders have now priced out the probability of a 50-basis-point cut in December, and attention has shifted to whether the Fed will hold rates steady in November.
Market-implied probabilities of a hold have jumped to 14%, up from just 2% on Friday and 0% the previous week, according to the CME FedWatch tool.

This shift in expectations pushed 10-year bond yields back above the 4% mark — hardly what investors usually see in a rate-cut environment. On Monday, the U.S. Treasury 10-Year Note ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UTEN#NYSE">UTEN</a>) dropped 0.4%, marking its fourth consecutive negative session.
Bank of America economist Aditya Bhave said, &#8220;The data flow since the Fed&#8217;s 50bp September cut has been remarkably strong. Another 50bp cut isn't warranted.&#8221; He added that the bank now expects the Fed to adopt a more gradual approach, cutting rates by 25 basis points per meeting until March 2025.
&#8220;Right now, a series of more modest 25 basis point cuts would serve to help normalize conditions based on the latest data without getting too aggressive. I'm still concerned that falling rates while the economy is still in good shape runs the risk of another round of inflation,&#8221; said analyst Michael Gayed, CFA.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Veteran Investor Outlines 12 Reasons Why The Fed Should Keep Rates On Hold</h1>
Veteran Wall Street investor Ed Yardeni outlined in a post on Monday 12 reasons why the Fed should pause rate cuts in November:
<ol>
<li>The U.S. economy didn't need September's 50bps cut, as proven by the latest employment and PMI data.</li>
<li>Fed officials may regret cutting by 50bps in September and should now hold steady to evaluate further data.</li>
<li>Rising bond yields since the September cut suggest the easing wasn't necessary and could fuel stronger growth.</li>
<li>Further cuts could trigger a stock market &#8220;meltup,&#8221; as valuations are already nearing 1990s levels.</li>
<li>Geopolitical risks in the Middle East have pushed oil prices higher, raising stagflation concerns reminiscent of the 1970s.</li>
<li>Hurricane Helene&#8217;s aftermath could stimulate inflationary pressures due to rebuilding efforts.</li>
<li>The recent dockworkers' pay settlement may increase import costs and fuel wage inflation.</li>
<li>Both U.S. presidential candidates propose fiscal programs that could widen the federal deficit and be inflationary.</li>
<li>China's economic stimulus is driving up global commodity prices, adding to inflationary risks.</li>
<li>Further rate cuts could weaken the dollar, potentially exacerbating inflation.</li>
<li>Core inflation remains above the Fed's 2% target, with "supercore" inflation stuck above 3%.</li>
<li>The real neutral Fed Funds rate could be higher than the Fed estimates, suggesting a nominal neutral rate closer to 4.0%.</li>

Arguing that the new regulations effectively criminalize hemp, the plaintiffs say hemp is federally legal under the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/07/39783607/how-hemp-became-americas-loophole-for-legal-highs"> 2018 Farm Bill</a>, and that New Jersey&#8217;s regulations will force many of them out of business.
In the lawsuit, they also argue that vague terms in the law make compliance difficult. They are seeking a federal court's intervention before the October 12 deadline, when all hemp products must be pulled from shelves.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">New Jersey's Defense Of The Law</h3>
In response, New Jersey's state attorneys have filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit, defending the law as a necessary public health measure, <a href="https://newjerseymonitor.com/2024/10/04/state-urges-judge-to-reject-lawsuit-about-new-hemp-regulations/#:~:text=New%20Jersey%20is%20arguing%20that,aimed%20at%20blocking%20the%20law.">reported</a> New Jersey Monitor. 
The argument by the government says that the&nbsp;2018 Farm Bill&nbsp;allows for state-level regulations that aim to address the risks posed by&nbsp;psychoactive hemp products. 
The state's filing emphasized concerns over the health and safety of minors, citing data that shows 11% of high school seniors had used Delta-8 THC in 2023.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">New Hemp Law's Restrictions And Impact</h3>
In a written statement, Governor Phil Murphy acknowledged the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/09/40845389/nj-governor-signs-bill-tightening-rules-on-hemp-industry-stakeholders-protest-big-alcohol-celebr">law's vagueness</a> but said public safety concerns were paramount.
Signed into law by Murphy, the new hemp regulation bans the sale of intoxicating hemp products. This is unless the seller holds a cannabis or alcohol license.

Overseen by the New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory Commission (CRC), the law aims to curb access to products like THC-infused beverages and Delta-8 THC. However, it also benefits the alcohol industry.
Similar arguments regarding adverse effects on minor have been waved in other states to prevent hemp-derived products from circulating.

Rubicon Organics (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RBTCW#OTC">RBTCW</a>) has released its 2023&nbsp;Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Report, which demonstrates significant progress by the company in reducing its environmental footprint.
The cannabis company, known for its organic certified products, is one of the few in the industry to publish a comprehensive sustainability report, reflecting the growing importance of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/climate-change">climate action</a>&nbsp;across sectors.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Carbon Footprint Slashed By 48%</h3>
The 2023 ESG Report showcases <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/08/40397166/rubicons-revenue-grows-profit-margins-shrink-in-q2-whats-next-for-this-canadian-cannabis-company">Rubicon's</a> success in cutting its&nbsp;carbon emissions by 48%, down to&nbsp;2,064 tons. This reduction is largely attributed to a major energy shift through a&nbsp;BC Hydro site upgrade, enabling Rubicon to use cleaner, renewable energy sources.
"We believe we are establishing industry benchmarks and building a robust and resilient cannabis industry in Canada," said Rubicon's CEO Margaret Brodie.
The report also highlights improvements in waste management, with a&nbsp;66% landfill waste diversion rate&nbsp;achieved through recycling, composting, and biofuel repurposing initiatives. These activities also helped reduce the cannabis carbon footprint generated during 2023.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Cannabis Footprint And ESG Reports </h3>
Although infrequent, reporting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/sustainability">sustainability</a> achievements like Rubicon's is becoming more common. As industries face mounting pressure to address&nbsp;climate change&nbsp;and corporate responsibility, the trend is for customers to value the efforts made by companies to diminish the environmental impacts of their activity.
While still relatively rare in the cannabis sector, the trend is gaining momentum globally.
Insights from the <a href="https://jcannabisresearch.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s42238-021-00090-0">scientific paper</a> "A Narrative Review on Environmental Impacts of Cannabis Cultivation" by environmentalists Zhonghua Zheng, Kelsey Fiddes and Liangcheng Yang help frame Rubicon's progress. The review noted that cannabis cultivation is notoriously <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/23/04/31620821/the-environmental-impact-of-cannabis-sustainable-growth-or-eco-disaster">resource-intensive</a>, with significant water use and greenhouse gas emissions tied to indoor growing operations.
Related to this, Rubicon's reductions in natural gas usage are vital to the mitigation of the environmental impact of indoor cannabis production.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Diversity-Minded Company</h3>
Beyond carbon reduction, Rubicon had a 6% increase in employee count, ending 2023 with 178 workers. The company hired 65 new employees.
For the second year in a row, Rubicon reduced its&nbsp;employee turnover, down to&nbsp;32%&nbsp;from 43% in 2022. The company maintained its focus on diversity, with&nbsp;83%&nbsp;of the workforce belonging to underrepresented groups.
On the equity front, the&nbsp;gender wage gap&nbsp;favored women, with female employees earning&nbsp;33% more than men, while the company&#8217;s&nbsp;CEO pay ratio&nbsp;decreased to&nbsp;14.4:1&nbsp;from&nbsp;28.5:1&nbsp;in 2022.

Key Items to Watch: Ahead of PepsiCo's third-quarter financial results, several analysts have updated their price targets. Here are<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PEP/analyst-ratings"> recent analyst ratings </a>on PepsiCo and their respective price targets:

The beverage and food giant could also update guidance for the full year and share how the Siete acquisition could impact revenue and earnings in the future.
