What happened: New data shows the difficulty of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) mining is on the upswing. According to data&nbsp;from <a href="https://btc.com/">BTC.com</a> the level of difficulty to mine the cryptocurrency increased by 6% on Saturday. It&rsquo;s the first increase in difficulty for Bitcoin miners since the digital currency&nbsp;began to crash in May, according to a report from <a href="https://decrypt.co/77388/bitcoin-mining-gets-6-more-difficult-in-first-positive-adjustment-since-may">Decrypt</a>.
Why it&rsquo;s important: The rate of difficulty has plunged since peaking at a record high in mid-May. The level continued to decrease in June and July after a crackdown on miners in China, causing them to leave the country or sell their mining machines. Chinese miners were responsible for 65% of the Bitcoin network&rsquo;s hash rate at the time.
The largest drop in mining difficulty occurred on July 3 of this year, when the rate fell by 28%. Followed by another drop of 4.81% on July 18.&nbsp;
What&rsquo;s next: The increasing rate of difficulty reported today indicates more mining machines are back online. The level of difficulty increases as more minors try to earn Bitcoin, which requires computer power to validate transactions on the network. BTC is priced&nbsp;at over $41800 at the time of publication, after marking a low of $28600 on June 22.

What happened: The U.S. Senate is holding a rare Saturday session today as negotiators attempt&nbsp;to finalize the text on&nbsp;$550 billion in new spending, part of a $1 trillion infrastructure bill. Bipartisan negotiators are discussing&nbsp;the details of additional funding for the nation&rsquo;s roads, bridges, and airports.
This comes after weeks of negotiations leading to the bill package being formally put up for debate on Friday. The next step involves finalizing the text of the bills which will be followed by a debate on amendments. A final vote on the legislation is expected to occur late next week.
Why it&rsquo;s important: The package of bills includes&nbsp;$110 billion in new funding for roads and bridges, $73 billion for upgrades to the electric grid, $66 billion for rail and Amtrak, along with $65 billion to expand broadband internet access.
The legislation outlines steps to offset the cost of the proposals&nbsp;by selling up to $6 billion of crude oil from the&nbsp;Strategic Petroleum Reserve, increasing&nbsp;customs user fees and instituting&nbsp;additional requirements on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-cryptocurrency/">cryptocurrency</a> transactions.
What&rsquo;s next: After the anticipated passage of the $1 trillion infrastructure bill, Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer plans to push forward on a sweeping $3.5 trillion package that focuses on climate change and home care for the elderly and children. The plan is expected to face staunch Republican opposition.

U.S. Senate Holds Rare Saturday Session On $550B Infrastructure Spending Plan

Chinese government officials are announcing plans to continue a crackdown on cryptocurrency trading and speculation.
What happened: In a statement released on Saturday, the People&rsquo;s Bank of China says it will &ldquo;maintain high pressure on virtual currency trading hype.&rdquo; Noting that the central bank has been &ldquo;severely cracking down on illegal activities of virtual currency&rdquo; this year and will continue supervising financial platforms operating in the country.
<a href="https://decrypt.co/77384/china-vows-to-continue-cracking-down-on-crypto-hype">Decrypt </a>reports that the statement comes a day after bank officials set priorities for the second half of the year.
Why it&rsquo;s important: The statement from the People&rsquo;s Bank of China comes after officials introduced restrictions on Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC)&nbsp;mining earlier this year, causing Bitcoin&rsquo;s hashrate to drop by 76%. Many Chinese miners have relocated to other countries.
China has banned&nbsp;financial institutions from cryptocurrency transactions since 2017. The move has&nbsp;prevented cryptocurrency exchanges from operating in the country.
What&rsquo;s next: As China continues to escalate restrictions on cryptocurrencies, the country&rsquo;s central bank has been working on developing its own digital currency. A recent report indicates digital yuan has been used in 70.75 million transactions, reaching a total value of 34.5 billion yuan ($5 billion) by the end of June.

U.S. health authorities have&nbsp;urged Americans who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 to go back to wearing masks indoors when in public places.&nbsp;
What Happened:&nbsp;The&nbsp;Walt Disney Co&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/dis#NYSE">DIS</a>) has asked its salaried and non-union employees in the U.S. to get vaccinated by the end of September,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/us/disney-makes-vaccination-mandatory-on-site-us-employees-2021-07-30/" target="_blank">Reuters</a>&nbsp;reports.&nbsp;&nbsp;
All newly hired employees need to be fully vaccinated before beginning their tenure.
Disney employees working from home will be required to verify vaccination before returning to their offices.
Starting Friday, Disney mandated&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/21/07/22223392/disney-mandates-indoor-face-masks-at-us-theme-parks" target="_blank">visitors</a>&nbsp;ages two and up at U.S. theme parks to wear masks in all indoor venues and park-based transportation, regardless of whether they are vaccinated against COVID-19.
Disney began requiring proof of a Covid vaccination or a negative Covid test prior to entry into&nbsp;its Paris-based theme park due to French guidelines.
Walmart Inc&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/wmt#NYSE">WMT</a>) has said that its corporate staff and management-level employees must be vaccinated by October 4,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2021/07/30/walmart-tells-corporate-staff-managers-they-must-have-vaccine-by-october.html" target="_blank">CNBC</a>&nbsp;reports.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Tech companies like&nbsp;Alphabet Inc&nbsp;(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/googl#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Inc&#39;s Google,&nbsp;Uber Technologies&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/uber#NYSE">UBER</a>) Inc and&nbsp;Facebook Inc&nbsp;(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fb#NASDAQ">FB</a>) have asked their U.S. employees to get vaccinated before coming back to offices.
Why It Matters:&nbsp;Infectious Delta COVID-19 variant is quickly spreading across the U.S. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 100,000 COVID-19 cases were confirmed on Tuesday.&nbsp;
The CDC has warned that the delta variant sweeping across the country is as contagious as chickenpox. It also has a longer transmission window than the original COVID-19 strain.&nbsp;
According to health experts, the surge in the COVID-19 infections and hospitalizations, due to the spread of the highly transmissible Delta variant, will worsen as large segments of the country remain unvaccinated.
CDC reports the U.S. averaged 652,084 doses administered per day over the past week as of Friday.&nbsp;
Last week, the CDC changed its guidance on mask usage and advised vaccinated people to resume mask-wearing indoors in areas of &quot;high&quot; or &quot;substantial&quot; transmission of the virus.

Disney Makes Vaccination Mandatory For Salaried, Non-Union Hourly Workers In U.S.

A new research institute called The Psychae Institute was announced on Friday, and will focus on advancing psychedelics research in Australia.
The newly-founded research organization plans to launch clinical research into psilocybin, DMT and MDMA, among others molecules.
According to <a href="https://www.smh.com.au/national/40m-psychedelic-medicine-institute-launches-in-melbourne-20210728-p58dlo.html#comments">The Sydney Morning Herald</a>, the Melbourne-based institute is lifting off with initial funding of AU$40 million ($29.3 million) from an undisclosed North American biotechnology company.
Funding will be delivered over five years. The institute expects to receive more funding from philanthropic donations, private investment and government grants.
The unrevealed backing company expressed an intention to remain undisclosed as part of its strategy to secure private investment.
&ldquo;There&rsquo;s a lot of people where [pharmaceutical drugs] don&rsquo;t work very well, if at all, or they have significant side effects. There&rsquo;s a desperate need for new types of treatments,&rdquo; said Psychae Institute co-director Daniel Perkins, an adjunct associate professor at Swinburne University and the University of Melbourne.
According to the professor, Australia is the perfect place to progress clinical trials as it requires regulatory notifications instead of approvals, unlike many other countries like the U.S.&nbsp;
The institute will also oversee clinical studies in the U.K., Canada, Europe and Brazil and plans to launch its own clinical research in early 2022.

What happened: Shares of the world&rsquo;s large produce company slid by over 9% on Friday after debuting on the New York Stock Exchange. Dole (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/dole#NYSE">DOLE</a>) opened for trading at $15, at an implied market value of approximately $1.5 billion, which was below the initial public offering of $16. The stock closed at $14.50 on Friday, giving the company a market valuation of $1.35 billion. &ldquo;The timing was what it was, the valuation is what it is,&rdquo; said Chief Executive Officer Rory Byrne in an interview.

This was the company&rsquo;s third effort to go public, after an initial offer of 26 million shares for $20 to $23 on Tuesday, then a second share sale of 30.3 million shares for $16 to $17 dollars on Thursday. Friday&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/ipos">IPO</a> ended up selling only 25 million shares and raising $400 million in gross proceeds.
Why it&rsquo;s important: The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/ipos">IPO</a> comes after the successful merger&nbsp;of Dole with Total Produce, a deal that was announced in February. According to its filings, the combined company generated $58 million in net income with $2.3 billion in revenue in the first quarter of this year. Byrne says the iconic Dole brand positions the company to attract&nbsp;investors and generate future growth.
Dole has previously filed to go public twice in recent years. David H. Murdock took the company private in 2003 to avoid&nbsp;bankruptcy, it was relisted in 2009 and again taken private in 2013. A second <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/ipos">IPO</a> filing in 2017 was withdrawn the following year.
What&rsquo;s next: The company intends to spend the money raised by the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/ipos">IPO</a> on merger costs and paying down its debt. Byrne says he doesn&rsquo;t expect to see any material impact on Dole from an ongoing drought in California. The company owns more than 109,000 acres of land worldwide as of March of this year.

Video games and mobile games have risen in popularity over the years. The industry has also seen a rise in the amount spent through in-game purchases.
This leaves the unlikely question of what happens to your video game account and the purchases after you die. A new patent could reveal the answer.
What Happened: A patent application filed in 2019 by Tencent Holdings (Pink:&nbsp;<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tcehy#OTC">TCEHY</a>) has been granted, according to a report from <a href="https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2021-07-14-tencent-obtains-patent-for-digital-asset-inheritance">Eurogamer</a>.
The patent centers on &ldquo;digital asset certificates&rdquo; and also covers digital asset inheritance.
Tencent has not announced any plans for the patent yet, but it could be an important topic in the future.
Tencent is the largest video game company in the world, with stakes in companies like Riot Games, Epic Games, Activision Blizzard Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/atvi#NASDAQ">ATVI</a>) and Ubisoft (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ubsfy#OTC">UBSFY</a>). The company has popular games like &ldquo;League of Legends,&rdquo; &ldquo;Fortnite,&rdquo; &ldquo;PUBG Mobile&rdquo; and &ldquo;Honor of Kings.&rdquo;

Why It&rsquo;s Important: Video game industry expert Daniel Ahmad <a href="https://twitter.com/ZhugeEX/status/1414676808050610177">shared </a>his take on what the patent could mean.
&ldquo;It relates to the inheritance of digital items and assets after a person passes away,&rdquo; Ahmad said.
Ahmad added that Apple Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/aapl#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) recently announced a digital legacy service where users can assign an administrator who can access their items after death.
&ldquo;Tencent&rsquo;s patent is similar but allows direct transfer of items if stated in the will.&rdquo;
Digital inheritance could be more important in the future as gamers spend more and more money on in-app purchases. Without a plan, those assets become worthless if a person dies and their account isn&rsquo;t used again.
Tencent&rsquo;s patent could become valuable as a monetizable item for other video game companies or app providers like Apple and Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/goog#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/googl#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>).
In the future, just like writing a will and designating people to own your belongings in the event of death, you may also have to designate who will receive&nbsp;your game characters and digital assets.

<ul>
<li>According to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-07-30/anti-ark-etf-to-bet-against-cathie-wood-s-flagship-fund?sref=TBDibEcD" target="_blank">Bloomberg</a>, the Short ARKK ETF would track the inverse performance of Cathie Wood&rsquo;s $23 billion&nbsp;Ark Innovation ETF&nbsp;(NYSEARCA: ARKK) through swaps.</li>
<li>As per the Securities and Exchange Commission filing, the fund would trade under the ticker SARK and charge a 0.75% operating expense.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Post-launch, the SARK would be managed by Matt Tuttle, chief executive officer at Tuttle Capital Management LLC.</li>
<li>&ldquo;In sum, as ARKK already represents a long exposure to a basket of unprofitable tech stocks, we thought that investors should have access to the short side as well,&rdquo; Bloomberg quoted Tuttle&rsquo;s email saying.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Cathie Wood&rsquo;s ARKK was one of the best-performing ETFs last year, with a 149% return.</li>
<li>&ldquo;Active ETFs are doing better than they have in the past, but passive is still king. A lot of that active flow in the big months from late 2020 to early 2021 is to Cathie&rsquo;s funds,&rdquo; says James Seyffart, an ETF analyst for Bloomberg Intelligence.</li>
<li>According to data from IHS Markit Ltd., short interest in the fund is currently 4.6% of shares outstanding, down from a record 5.3% in March.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>

Elon Musk has amassed more than&nbsp;58 million <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk">followers </a>on Twitter Inc (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/twtr#NYSE">TWTR</a>). The well-known Tesla Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tsla#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/20/11/18170858/s-p-500-performs-best-on-days-donald-trump-tweets-30-or-more-times-study">active </a>on the social media platform and in 2018 tweeted something that got him and his company in trouble&nbsp;while also putting a bigger spotlight on the electric vehicle company.
Musk Tweets: On Aug.&nbsp;7, 2018, Musk tweeted&nbsp;he had secured funding to take Tesla private at $420 per share.
Tesla of course remains a public company and was not taken private in 2018.
The SEC frowned on the tweet as Tesla did not have funding for a deal and Twitter was not the correct avenue to disclose such a transaction.
Tesla <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2021/03/12/elon-musk-tesla-board-sued-in-lawsuit-alleging-erratic-tweets-violate-fiduciary-duty/">agreed </a>to pay a $20 million fine and Musk stepped down as the chairman of the company for a period of three years.
Tesla shares traded lower after Musk later <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/20/12/18933862/elon-musk-says-taking-tesla-private-impossible-now">said </a>the company would not go private and it was too big to do so.

Investing $1,000 In Tesla: Despite the initial move lower in Tesla shares, people who bought shares of the electric vehicle company have done well since Musk&rsquo;s tweet.
Shares of Tesla traded at $387.45 at their high on Aug.&nbsp;7, 2018. A customer could have purchased 2.58 shares of Tesla with $1,000.
A 5:1 split in August 2020 happened for Tesla shares, turning the 2.58 hypothetical shares into 12.9 shares.
Those 12.9 shares of Tesla would be worth $8,977.11 today based on a share price of $695.90 on July 30, 2021.
Investing in Tesla shares on Musk&rsquo;s tweet of going private has yielded a near 800% return in less than three years.

Pinterest analysts are reacting to the company&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/21/07/22240927/pinterest-stock-gets-hammered-despite-stellar-q2-earnings-beat-heres-what-you-need-to-know">second quarter report</a> that saw strong revenue growth but offered lower active users and third quarter guidance than expected.
<ul>
<li>The Pinterest Analysts: JPMorgan analyst Doug Anmuth lowers the rating on Pinterest (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/pins#NYSE">PINS</a>) from Overweight to Neutral and lowers the price target from $95 to $68.</li>
<li>Credit Suisse analyst Stephen Ju has a Neutral rating and lowers the price target from $94 to $82.</li>
<li>KeyBanc analyst Justin Patterson has an Overweight rating and lowers the price target from $89 to $75.</li>
<li>Rosenblatt analyst Mark Zgutowicz has a Neutral rating and lowers the price target from $70 to $65.</li>
<li>Morgan Stanley analyst Brian Nowak has an Overweight rating and lowers the price target from $83 to $77.</li>
<li>Bank of America analyst has a Neutral rating and lowers the price target from $84 to $73.</li>
<li>Earnings Takeaways: Solid revenue growth was seen by Pinterest in the second quarter. The big concern for analysts was missing a target monthly active user figure and lower than expected third quarter estimates.</li>
<li>&ldquo;Although management is not providing explicit monthly active users guidance given changing velocity of reopening vs. rising infection cases, it appears that sequential declines in the U.S. have stabilized so far in early 3Q21,&rdquo; Ju said.</li>
<li>Patterson questions if U.S. MAU growth has peaked given the miss on the figure in the quarter.</li>
<li>Strong Advertising Revenue: Pinterest launched several initiatives to boost its advertising revenue including &ldquo;Bidding for Awareness.&rdquo;</li>
<li>&ldquo;As ad demand recovered and PINS efficiently utilized its ad supply in 2Q, eCPM grew 83% year-over-year,&rdquo; Anmuth said.</li>
<li>The analyst notes that Pinterest is replacing high-quality ad inventory with Idea Pins, which could lower monetization for the near term.</li>
<li>&ldquo;We believe Pinterest&rsquo;s improving monetization reflects strong advertiser demand, new ad products and better measurement capabilities,&rdquo; Patterson said.</li>
<li>Pinterest could be utilizing a &ldquo;build it and they will come&rdquo; strategy with advertisers according to Zgutowicz. The analyst notes heavy competition from companies like TikTok, Snap Inc (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/snap#NYSE">SNAP</a>) and Instagram, owned by Facebook Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fb#NASDAQ">FB</a>) is&nbsp;putting pressure on how Pinterest competes for advertising dollars.</li>
<li>Related Link: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/21/07/22250925/why-theres-hope-for-pinterests-stock-following-post-earnings-tumble">Why There&rsquo;s Hope For Pinterest&rsquo;s Stock Following Post Earnings Tumble</a></li>
<li>Analysts on Outlook: The competition with other social media platforms for advertising dollars also translates over to the creator market, according to Zgutowicz.</li>
<li>&ldquo;Pinterest needs to wave significant dollars for creators to play, which doesn&rsquo;t guarantee they will stay,&rdquo; Zgutowicz says. The analyst notes Snap giving away $1 million a day to creators. Zguotwicz offers this piece of wisdom &ldquo;getting creative with creators can get expensive.&rdquo;</li>
<li>The transition Pinterest is taking to be a creator platform could cause higher costs, which is weighing on the analysts&#39; outlook.</li>
<li>&ldquo;While we acknowledge 3Q revenue guidance could be conservative, we come away with a more cautious stance,&rdquo; Anmuth said.</li>
<li>Ju points to recent international expansion including Brazil in the first quarter as an item to watch for revenue in the third quarter along with returning to year-over-year growth of U.S. MAUs.</li>
<li>Nowak highlights the app redesign and move to creators by Pinterest as a multi-year evolution. The analyst sees near-term monetization pressure and competition but points to a &ldquo;big opportunity&rdquo; if the company can produce a &ldquo;creator and content ecosystem.&rdquo;</li>
<li>Early international user monetization is an area also highlighted by Post. The analyst thinks shares of Pinterest warrant a lower multiple to peers due to slower user growth.</li>
<li>Price Action: Shares of PINS are down 19% to $58.90&nbsp;on Friday.</li>

Apple Inc&nbsp;(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/aapl#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) is locked in a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/21/05/20947603/epic-games-vs-apple-lawsuit-reveals-just-how-much-money-fortnite-has-made">legal battle</a>&nbsp;with video game developer Epic over the former&#39;s restrictive practices in its App Store and the 30% commission its charges for each purchase made on its App Store.
Musk Leaps to Epic&#39;s Defence:&nbsp;Tesla Inc.&#39;s (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tsla#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) opinionated CEO Elon Musk said in a tweet Friday Epic may after all be right in taking on Apple. Musk&#39;s argument against Apple is that the App Store fee is a &quot;de facto global tax&quot; imposed on the Internet.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">Apple app store fees are a de facto global tax on the Internet. Epic is right.
&mdash; Elon Musk (@elonmusk) <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1421152540394143746?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 30, 2021</a></blockquote>

The Relationship That Soured: Epic has taken exception to Apple preventing other payment options on its iPhone, iPad and iPod. The manufacturer of the hugely popular Fortnite game tried circumventing Apple&#39;s steep commission by using an in-app payment system in Fortnite in August 2020. Apple retaliated by removing Epic Games from its App Store.
In response to a lawsuit filed by Epic, Apple filed a countersuit that alleged Epic violated the contract terms between both parties. The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/21/05/20919204/apple-to-face-epic-games-antitrust-lawsuit-over-unfair-app-store-practices-today-report" style="font-size: 13px;">bench trial</a>&nbsp;ran from May 3 to May 24 and a decision is due any time. 
Musk, An Apple-phobic? Musk and Apple have never been on the best of terms. The Tesla CEO revealed in a tweet in December 2020 he had approached Apple regarding a potential takeover when his company was finding the going tough in 2017 amid the development of the Model 3 vehicle. Musk was ready to sell Tesla to Apple at a throwaway price vis-&agrave;-vis the steep valuation of its shares currently.
On Tesla&#39;s second-quarter earnings call, Musk took a potshot at Apple for using cobalt in batteries that are used to run its gadgets. &quot;On a weighted-average basis we might use 2% cobalt compared to say, Apple&#39;s 100% cobalt,&quot; Musk said on the call.
At last check, Apple shares were up 0.15% at $145.86.

'Fast Money Halftime Report' Picks For July 30

Tesla Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tsla#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) has sped over 11% higher after tumbling over 5% lower on earnings and putting in a bottom at the $627 mark.
On Thursday,&nbsp;<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?msclkid=a5474152bead1a6825af2056eee49333">Benzinga Pro</a> alerted its users Tesla had <a href="https://patentimages.storage.googleapis.com/d5/67/04/17266cbab20534/WO2020028698A1.pdf">filed a patent</a> that would allow it to recover and recycle nickel and cobalt from old lithium-ion EV batteries.
The patent, titled &ldquo;Metal Sulfate Manufacturing System via Electrochemical Dissolution,&rdquo; would allow the EV and technology company to recover the two crucial raw battery metals and reuse them making its supply chain more efficient.
Tesla&rsquo;s stock shot up 5% on Thursday and on Friday continued to rise on bullish momentum.

The Tesla Chart: On Friday, Tesla slammed into a resistance level near the $700 mark that has been holding the stock down since May 3 when it lost the area as support.
Tesla&rsquo;s stock was also been plagued by a descending trendline the stock has been trending under since reaching an all-time high of $900 on Jan. 25.
On June 25, Tesla&rsquo;s stock bucked the downtrend and broke up bullishly from the trendline. Since the break, the stock has been trading in a sideways consolidation pattern between about $620 and $700.
Tesla has tried to bust through the $700 level on three separate occasions and failed, but the more often the stock nicks the resistance level ,the weaker it becomes.
Tesla is trading above both the eight-day and 21-day exponential averages, and the eight-day EMA recently crossed up over the 21-day EMA, both which are bullish indicators.
Tesla&rsquo;s stock is also trading above the 200-day simple moving average, which indicates overall sentiment in the stock is bullish. All three moving averages are curling upward, which indicates higher prices may come.
<ul>
<li>Bulls want to see Tesla&rsquo;s stock break up above the $700 level, which could cause shorts to cover because it is a key zone. If Tesla can trade above the level, it has room to move up toward $745 before hitting further resistance.</li>
<li>Bears want to see Tesla&rsquo;s stock continue to reject its upper resistance and for big bearish volume to drop it down below a support level at $650 that coincides with the 200-day SMA.</li>
<li>If Tesla&rsquo;s stock loses the areas as support, it could fall toward the $628 level.<img alt="tsla_july_30.png" src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/u278075/tsla_july_30.png" style="height:768px; width:1366px" /></li>

Tesla's Stock Races Into Resistance: What's Next?

Entrepreneur Gary Vaynerchuk, better known as Gary Vee, has been a vocal supporter of the growth of the NFT market for several years. Vee made a large purchase on Friday of one of the most well-known <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/what-is-a-non-fungible-token-nft/">non-fungible token</a> series.
What Happened: Vee purchased CryptoPunk #2140 for $3,764,576 according to a <a href="http://twitter.com/cryptopunksbot/status/1421178232779456524">Twitter account </a>that provides information on the series.
Larva Labs launched 10,000 CryptoPunks in 2017, a series of 24x24 pixelated avatar NFTs.
The series is considered one of the first NFT avatar projects and considered by many to be the &ldquo;holy grail&rdquo; of the NFT market.
<a href="https://www.larvalabs.com/cryptopunks/details/2140">CryptoPunk 2140 </a>is one of 24 &ldquo;Ape Punks.&rdquo; The same NFT sold for $1.18 million in March and $731,000 in February.
Vee is <a href="https://www.larvalabs.com/cryptopunks/accountInfo?account=0xd6a984153acb6c9e2d788f08c2465a1358bb89a7">listed </a>as the owner of seven&nbsp;CryptoPunks on the Larva Labs site. He spent a reported $4.88 million on the seven&nbsp;Punks with purchases ranging from $42,800 to $773,000 prior to Friday.

Why It&rsquo;s Important: The purchase by Vee marks one of several on Friday, with several others selling in the five-figure and six-figure range and some receiving bids of more than $1 million.
CryptoPunks are <a href="https://www.cryptoslam.io/">ranked </a>third by dollars on CryptoSlam, a site that tracks top NFT projects. The Punks have had $422.4 million in transaction volume across 14,775 transactions in their lifetime.
CryptoPunks trail only<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-buy-axie-infinity-axs/"> Axie Infinity</a> and NBA Top Shot in lifetime dollar&nbsp;volume at $800.9 million and $665.0 million, respectively. Both those projects have millions of transactions.
Prior to Friday, CryptoPunks had $19.1 million in sales in the last seven days.
A Sotheby&rsquo;s auction earlier this year <a href="https://www.theblockcrypto.com/post/108186/rare-alien-cryptopunk-fetches-11-8-million-in-sothebys-auction">saw </a>a record $11.8 million paid for a CryptoPunk NFT. The NFT was one of nine aliens out of the 10,000 Punks and was sold to Shalom Meckenzie, the largest shareholder of Draftkings Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/dkng#NASDAQ">DKNG</a>).
A Christie&rsquo;s auction in May sold nine Punks for $17 million, the highest amount paid for Punks.
Vee <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/21/05/20962805/gary-vee-talks-nft-collection-release-value-of-smart-contracts">launched </a>his own NFT line earlier this year called VeeFriends, which includes physical rewards like a meet-up convention.
Vee has been bullish on several NFT projects but also thrown caution to the overall market given the large supply from numerous projects that could lose value over the next few years.
When it comes to CryptoPunks though, Vee remains bullish.
&ldquo;Hasn&rsquo;t even started &hellip; not worried about micro dips over next decade &hellip;&nbsp;the macro is clear,&rdquo; Vee <a href="https://twitter.com/garyvee/status/1421189738816495622">responded </a>to a Twitter user.

11 Financials Stocks Moving In Thursday's Intraday Session

Benzinga&#39;s&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premarket/">PreMarket Prep</a>&nbsp;airs every morning from 8-9 a.m. ET. During that fast-paced, highly informative hour, traders and investors tune in to get the major news of the day, the catalysts behind those moves and the corresponding price action for the upcoming session.

On any given day, the show will cover at least 20 stocks determined by co-hosts Joel Elconin and Dennis Dick along with producer Spencer Israel.

Besides being in the greatest bull market of all time, there are other reasons to avoid&nbsp;shorting stocks in today&#39;s environment.&nbsp;One of those reasons is that a low-volume, low-float issue that does not&nbsp;necessarily have huge short interest issue can explode to the upside &mdash; even without a catalyst.

This scenario applies to Vericity Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="/stock/VERY#NASDAQ">VERY</a>), which is Thursday&#39;s&nbsp;PreMarket Prep Stock of the Day.

About Vericity: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/very">Vericity</a> is a U.S.-based company that, along with its subsidiaries, offers life insurance products to the middle American market. It operates through three segments: Agency, Insurance&nbsp;and Corporate.

The Agency segment operates through eFinancial, which&nbsp;sells insurance products through its call center distribution platform, independent agents and other marketing organizations.&nbsp;

Vericity&#39;s Strange Price History: It&#39;s hard to determine the long-term price history of the issue, since it had some strange initial price action back in August 2019.&nbsp;

On Aug.&nbsp;15, 2019, it traded 100 shares at $5.75 and didn&#39;t trade again until Aug. 19, when it rallied to $8.29 on 431 shares.

Two days later, it spiked to $26.87 and settled at $13.91 on a whopping 12,500 shares.&nbsp; By Oct. 29, it was at $6.94 on a majority of days with little or no volume.

The issue had another mysterious rally the following day to $11.90 on 8,500&nbsp; shares.

Vericity&#39;s Price, Volume Spike: From that day in 2019 forward, Vericity&nbsp;meandered in no discernible fashion on little or no volume until Wednesday of this week.

Trading on no news, it rallied from $9.65 to $10.06 on much higher volume of 90,900.&nbsp;

In fact, that one day total almost equals the volume for the entire month of March (96,700).

The stock&#39;s volume did not exceed 78,700 in any of the last five months.&nbsp;

The Machines Take Over: When an issue has a price volume spike similar to Vericity&#39;s,&nbsp;it shows up in momentum scanners across the globe, and those traders swing into action.&nbsp;

If it happens to appear&nbsp;on a Reddit board, that is a bonus.&nbsp;

Since the issue only has a short float of 16%, it is not super high and not as tasty of a target for a short squeeze.&nbsp;

Those who are short, with a four-days-to-cover ratio, are feeling some pain.&nbsp;

VERY Price Action:&nbsp; The investors behind this rally got things started early when the issue spiked to $33.98 on significant volume around 4:30 a.m. Thursday.

In very active trading, it retreated and began the regular session at $15.23.&nbsp; Following a quick spike lower to $14.03, it blasted to $21.78 and reversed course.&nbsp;

The stock was trading 62.33% higher to $16.33 at last check.&nbsp;

Vericity Moving Forward:&nbsp;Based on its prior sporadic price history, once the volume leaves the issue, it could very well go back to where it came from&nbsp;

Yet in this&nbsp;market environment, anything can happen and will.
