Market Signal Briefing

Interactive Brokers isn't chasing headlines -- it's building a global machine for the next generation of investors.

 In a financial services market dominated by hype-driven fintech names, few companies embody quiet execution so well as Interactive Brokers (IBKR +2.70%). While others chase user growth with slick apps and zero-commission marketing, Interactive Brokers has spent decades doing something far more durable: automating the entire brokerage experience.

That discipline has turned it into one of the most efficient and globally connected trading platforms on the planet -- and investors are starting to notice.

A different kind of brokerage
Interactive Brokers doesn't look or act like its peers. It doesn't advertise aggressively, rely on payment-for-order-flow revenue, or target beginners with gamified trading.

Since founder Thomas Peterffy began building electronic trading systems in the 1980s, the company's core mission has remained consistent: Automate everything a broker does. From order routing to risk management to compliance, the company's technology replaces layers of human intervention with code.

That obsession with automation isn't just philosophical -- it's structural. It allows Interactive Brokers to operate globally with extraordinary efficiency. The same system that serves a retail trader in Singapore also powers hedge funds in New York or advisors in London. Such a structure also allows the brokerage to profitably serve novice traders with small account balances, giving it a huge target addressable market.

Today, its clients can trade across 160 markets in 28 currencies, all from a single account. Few other financial institutions can match that reach.

The automation flywheel
Automation isn't just about cost savings -- it's about growing scale.

When every process runs algorithmically, adding more clients doesn't require adding more staff. That keeps Interactive Brokers' costs in check even as the business grows.

The result is a rare financial flywheel:

Automation keeps expenses minimal.
Low costs attract sophisticated traders and institutions.
More clients bring more cash balances and trading activity.
Higher balances boost interest income and liquidity.
Increased profits can be used to fund deeper technology investments.
A deeper technology further attracts and retains traders.

Over time, that loop strengthens Interactive Brokers' moat. While its competitors need to add headcount or spend heavily to scale up their businesses, for Interactive Brokers, automated systems do most of the work. That's why it consistently earns pre-tax margins that are above 70%, even in a highly competitive industry with players like Charles Schwab and Robinhood.

Compounding through global access
Another strength lies in its global structure. Interactive Brokers isn't tied to one country or asset class. Whether markets are bullish in the U.S., volatile in Japan, or recovering in Europe, its clients can trade across all of them through one platform.

Global access attracts not only retail investors but also professionals -- hedge funds, advisors, proprietary traders -- who value reliability and execution quality. It also gives Interactive Brokers exposure to a long-term secular trend: the globalization of investing.

As wealth grows across Asia, Europe, and Latin America, demand for a trusted, low-cost, cross-border platform will likely expand. Interactive Brokers already has the infrastructure in place. It doesn't need to build branches or rebrand. It can simply keep onboarding new clients into the system it has refined for decades.

Why efficiency matters?
Efficiency may not make headlines, but in finance, it compounds.

Interactive Brokers' automation means fewer costs per trade, fewer manual errors, faster execution, and better pricing for clients. That in turn drives loyalty and growth -- especially among serious investors who trade frequently or across markets.

It's also what makes the company resilient through cycles. When trading activity slows, its cost base doesn't balloon. When trading volumes rebound, incremental revenue flows almost directly to the bottom line, given the company's operating leverage.

That's the mark of a high-quality business: It quietly strengthens its advantages each year without needing external hype to sustain it.

What does it mean for investors?
Interactive Brokers isn't trying to be the loudest fintech in the room. It's trying to be the most efficient -- and it's succeeding.

By relentlessly focusing on automation, technology, and global access, the company has built a system that can scale for decades. While competitors chase short-term headlines, it keeps executing its blueprint -- one line of code at a time.

For investors, that quiet efficiency may be precisely what makes Interactive Brokers one of the most underappreciated compounding machines in finance today.

Alphabet’s X moonshot factory is shifting how it brings ambitious technology projects to market, increasingly spinning them out as independent companies rather than keeping them within the Alphabet corporate structure, X’s head honcho, Astro Teller, revealed at TechCrunch Disrupt this past week.

The strategy hinges on a dedicated venture fund that exists solely to invest in X spinouts, and in which Alphabet is only a minority investor. “If Alphabet was the sole LP, the fund would be inside of Alphabet, and then when they invested in something from X, it would still be inside Alphabet,” Teller explained onstage. “So Alphabet can be a small LP, but if it’s more than a small LP, we undo the thing that we’re trying to accomplish.”

That fund is Series X Capital, which has raised over $500 million and is run by Gideon Yu, a former YouTube executive and Facebook CFO. Bloomberg first reported the fund’s existence last year. Unlike Alphabet’s other investment arms — GV, which invests broadly in early-stage startups; CapitalG, which backs growth-stage companies; and Gradient Ventures, which invests in AI startups — Series X Capital is legally obligated to invest exclusively in companies spinning out of X.

The approach represents a meaningful evolution for X, which has historically graduated successful projects like Waymo and Wing into standalone Alphabet subsidiaries. Teller said the lab has learned over the past decade that while some moonshots benefit from Alphabet’s resources and scale, others “can go faster and won’t really benefit from being part of Alphabet because they’re just so different.”

“Landing it just outside the Alphabet membrane, where we can be very tight with them, get a lot of strategic co-benefit with them, but not necessarily control them, makes sense,” he said.

At Disrupt, Teller explained that the spinout strategy only works because of X’s ruthless approach to intellectual honesty, including a culture that actively celebrates killing off promising ideas.

X defines a moonshot as having three specific components: it must attempt to solve a huge problem in the world, propose some kind of product or service that could make that problem disappear, and leverage breakthrough tech that creates a “glimmer of hope” that the team inside X can solve that problem. Critically, Teller said, “if someone is proposing a moonshot and it sounds reasonable, the company isn’t interested, because that, by definition, wouldn’t be a moonshot.”

What happens to ideas that meet these criteria? X tests them ruthlessly, looking for reasons to kill them, Teller said. “If you propose something and it sounds pretty wild, that has those three components, and it’s a testable hypothesis, for a small amount of money, we can learn something about whether it’s a little bit more crazy than we thought, or a little bit less crazy than we thought,” Teller explained. “If it’s a little bit more crazy than we thought, cool, high five, let’s put a bullet in its head and move on.”

This approach requires detaching people from their ideas, which is why Teller said he doesn’t even know who started most projects at X, including Waymo, the self-driving car company, and Wing, the drone delivery company now dropping off Walmart packages in roughly six U.S. cities. “If we’re going to go exploring something, and you [as the lead inventor] feel like ‘this is my baby,’ what are the chances I get you to practice real intellectual honesty?” he told the Disrupt audience.

In practice, this means X tackles the hardest parts of projects first, actively looking for reasons to shut them down. The result is a brutal 2% hit rate that Teller frames not as failure but as feature. X has killed off far more projects than it has launched, including entire categories that once seemed promising, like copywriting AI tools that foundation models eventually absorbed.

All that testing and failing can be expensive. The spinout structure solves a practical problem: while X previously had to find outside venture investors willing to take over at least 51% of a business to spin it out of Alphabet, by creating a fund that “deeply understands us” and is “legally obligated only to invest in things that come from us,” said Teller, X can systematize the spinout process while maintaining close strategic ties.

Despite the emphasis on detachment from ideas, X employees do have significant skin in the game when projects spin out. For those working on projects headed for independence, the financial incentive is substantial. “You and the rest of your team are going to get a chunk of that company,” Teller said. “It is about as much as you would have gotten if you had started from your garage at that stage of funding, but without taking any risk in the meantime.”

The pitch to potential X employees is explicit about this trade-off too. “Your four or five standard deviation upside is going to be bigger on the outside, I’m granting you that,” Teller said at Disrupt. “But if you come to X, what you get to do is be a card counter of innovation with us, with no fear and no financial risk to yourself.”

X employees are paid like other Google employees, with no equity in early-stage projects, because “it isn’t even a company; it’s an idea we’re trying to learn about,” Teller explained. This removes the financial pressure that prevents founders from killing their own ideas. “You can say, ‘Hey, this one’s not pulling our average up, let’s throw this one away,’” Teller explained. “And because you haven’t bet your kids’ college fund on that, that doesn’t scare you.”

X has spun out at least two companies in 2025: Taara, which develops wireless optical communication technology, and Heritable Agriculture, a biotech company using machine learning to accelerate crop breeding. Previous spinouts that raised external funding include Malta (renewable energy storage), Dandelion (geothermal heating), and iyO (AI-powered earbuds).

On the eve of Disrupt, X announced its newest moonshot company: Anori, a “new AI platform to help real estate developers, the architecture and construction industries, and cities untangle the complexities of new building projects,” as it describes itself. Asked onstage about what makes this particular AI platform a “moonshot,” Teller pointed to the size of the problem — and opportunity.

“The built environment is about 25% of the world’s solid waste, [and] about 25% of the world’s [carbon dioxide] output. It’s literally on the Maslow’s hierarchy of needs — it’s where we live, where we spend most of our time. It’s a big chunk of the world’s GDP output. So it would be hard for it to matter more as an industry.”

The market is experiencing a severe lack of liquidity and volatility. Extremely low volumes on XRP, Shiba Inu and Bitcoin confirms that the market is not interested in providing more liquidity, and the more likely outcome for those assets would be stagnation rather than a move in a certain direction.

XRP must brace itselfA death cross pattern, which frequently precedes protracted downtrends, has resurfaced on XRP’s daily chart, putting it under bearish technical pressure once more. The asset’s declining momentum, following multiple unsuccessful breakout attempts over the previous few months, is highlighted by the crossover, which happens when the 50-day moving average falls below the 200-day moving average.

With price activity consolidating within a narrowing ascending triangle, XRP is currently trading around $2.54, perilously positioned between important resistance and support levels. The 200-day and 100-day moving averages are located close to $2.70-$2.80, creating a strong resistance area that has continuously rejected any push upward.

HOT Stories

XRP/USDT Chart by TradingViewIn the meantime, there is little structural support from the 200-day moving average below price, indicating that the token is nearing its next big move. In comparison to earlier in the year, volume is still muted, indicating that traders are awaiting direction confirmation.

A neutral sentiment, neither oversold nor overbought, is also indicated by the RSI around 48. However, historically, death cross formations have tipped this balance in favor of bearish outcomes when combined with low momentum and waning interest.

The setup supports a downward continuation toward $2.35 or even $2.10, both of which served as significant historical support levels, if XRP is unable to break above $2.80. A successful push above $2.80 might disprove the bearish crossover and pave the way for a $3.00 retest; however, this would necessitate a noticeable increase in buying pressure.

Ethereum hints at reversalAfter months of slow underperformance, Ethereum's long-term setup against Bitcoin is starting to show indications of a possible reversal. Although Ethereum has lagged behind Bitcoin for a large portion of the year, current technical trends indicate that things may be about to change and the ETH/BTC ratio may soon rise. The ratio is currently trading at 0.035 BTC, slightly above its 200-day moving average.

Since the middle of the year, this level has frequently served as a solid structural support, averting more serious breakdowns. ETH/BTC has developed a tight consolidation pattern on the daily chart, contracting between the 200-day and 100-day moving averages.

Such periods of low volatility in this pair have historically preceded major directional shifts, frequently in favor of Ethereum, during more extensive market rotations. In the meantime, ETH/USD has stabilized at $3,890, staying above the crucial $3,600 support and making an effort to return to $4,000. Capital rotation into altcoins could occur if Ethereum gains traction while Bitcoin consolidates close to resistance levels, creating the ideal environment for an increase in the ETH/BTC ratio.

Ethereum is neither overbought nor oversold, according to the RSI near 44, so there is potential for growth if buying pressure increases. A more ambitious target at 0.0405, which would represent a 15% move from current levels, comes after the next resistance for ETH/BTC, which is located around 0.037-0.038.

Essentially, renewed institutional interest in staking yield and growing expectations for Ethereum network upgrades may be the catalyst for such an advancement. The ETH/BTC pair is essentially resting on a coiled spring configuration.

Shiba Inu's questionable outlookSHIB, which is currently trading at $0.0000102, has been unable to sustain even slight bullish momentum because it is caught between unrelenting overhead resistance and fading support. The overall situation is still dire. For months, the token has been trapped in a declining channel that has continuously produced lower highs and lower lows.

The 100-day and 200-day moving averages, which are currently at $0.0000113 and $0.0000128, respectively, are important resistance levels that have not been broken by even short recovery attempts such as the most recent bounce from $0.0000090. These moving averages have essentially taken on the role of dynamic ceilings containing price movement and stifling sentiment.

Volume conveys a similarly depressing message. Since mid-October, trading activity has drastically declined, indicating a decline in interest from both retail traders and speculative investors. SHIB's price movement has lost volatility in the absence of participation and liquidity, which may sound stable but typically signals future declines rather than recoveries.

The RSI is currently at 45, indicating stagnation rather than bullish or oversold conditions. From a technical standpoint, this puts SHIB in a risky situation because there isn't any genuine buying interest to push prices higher, but there isn't any panic selling to change the market structure either.

A decline toward $0.0000075, the next significant support level, could be triggered by a breakdown below $0.0000090. Essentially, the ecosystem surrounding Shiba Inu has also cooled. New use cases have not emerged on a significant scale and burn events and project updates have not succeeded in rekindling enthusiasm.

XRP's momentum is surging as major ETF filings ignite investor optimism, positioning the crypto as the next heavyweight to enter the institutional spotlight, fueling speculation of a near-term regulatory breakthrough.

After months of underperformance, Ethereum’s long-term outlook against Bitcoin is beginning to shift, signaling the potential for a bullish reversal. The ETH/BTC ratio is currently trading at 0.035 BTC, slightly above its 200-day moving average—a key level that has repeatedly served as a structural support since midyear, preventing deeper declines.

Recent technical patterns suggest a tightening consolidation phase on the daily chart, with Ethereum’s price compressing between the 100-day and 200-day moving averages. Historically, such low-volatility setups have preceded significant directional moves, often in Ethereum’s favor during broader market rotations.

Meanwhile, ETH/USD has stabilized around $3,890, maintaining strength above the critical $3,600 support zone while attempting to reclaim the $4,000 level. If Bitcoin consolidates near resistance, capital rotation into altcoins could follow, creating favorable conditions for an ETH/BTC upswing.

From a technical standpoint, Ethereum’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) hovers around 44, indicating that the asset is neither overbought nor oversold, leaving room for potential growth. The next resistance for ETH/BTC lies around 0.037–0.038 BTC, followed by an extended target near 0.0405 BTC, representing a potential 15% gain from current levels.

Market analysts suggest that renewed institutional interest in Ethereum’s staking yields and optimism surrounding upcoming Ethereum network upgrades could serve as the primary catalysts for this rally.

In essence, Ethereum appears to be in a “coiled spring” setup—quietly building momentum for a potential breakout. If historical patterns repeat and buying pressure increases, ETH could finally start outperforming Bitcoin after a long phase of relative stagnation, reaffirming its position as the leading altcoin in the crypto market.

Two major crypto whales have collectively opened $71 million in short positions against ASTER, shortly after Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) disclosed that he had personally purchased the token. The move has intensified speculation and volatility around the project.

CZ announced his purchase on X (formerly Twitter), stating, “Full disclosure. I just bought some Aster today, using my own money, on Binance. I am not a trader. I buy and hold.” His statement immediately fueled market enthusiasm, pushing ASTER’s price up by 27% within 24 hours. Previously, the token surged over 1,500% following CZ’s earlier endorsement and the team’s newly launched buyback program, which analysts say could further tighten supply and boost price momentum.

According to Lookonchain, one whale—identified by the wallet address 0x9eec…1daab—opened a $49.17 million short on the decentralized derivatives exchange Hyperliquid, using 3x leverage. The position now represents 42.97 million ASTER tokens worth approximately $52.8 million, with a liquidation price set at $2.09. Another large trader, using the wallet 0xBADBB…3eE6, deposited 3.8 million USDC to open an $18.45 million short, bringing the total bearish exposure to around $71.25 million.

Despite heavy short activity on Hyperliquid, data from Binance shows traders remain optimistic. ASTER’s long-to-short ratio on the exchange stands at 1.90, indicating strong bullish sentiment. Derivatives volume jumped 186% to $3.04 billion, while open interest surged 70% to $781.86 million—evidence of growing speculative interest. Top Binance traders also showed confidence, with account and position ratios at 1.83 and 2.08, respectively.

While whales appear to be betting against ASTER’s recent rally, bullish momentum from retail traders and CZ’s influence could keep the token’s price action unpredictable in the coming days.

Bitcoin fell 1.72% weekly despite US-China tariff resolution, showing weakened upward momentum overall.Powell's December rate cut uncertainty overshadowed trade truce benefits, causing Bitcoin price volatility.Employment data releases throughout week will influence Fed's December decision on interest rates.The US-China tariff conflict, a major source of market anxiety throughout October, was resolved. Despite this positive development, Bitcoin failed to rally last week, posting a 1.72% weekly decline.

The crypto market’s failure to respond to clear positive news signals a profound weakening of its upward momentum. Ethereum fell 2.55% for the week, while Solana (SOL) also declined 4.76% over the same period.

Geopolitical Gains vs. Crypto SlumpThe crucial period for crypto investors was between October 29 and 30. This timeframe encompassed the Federal Reserve meeting and the high-stakes summit between US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping.

China acquiesced to three significant US demands, including a one-year delay on rare earth export restrictions and the resumption of US soybean imports. As a result, the US-China summit yielded considerable clarity. In exchange, the US agreed to reduce the overall tariff rate on China from 57% to 47%. The leaders also agreed to reciprocal visits next year.

The resolution was immediately reflected in traditional safe-haven assets. For example, the price of gold, which had surged after the tariff conflict escalated on October 10, retreated to its pre-escalation level of approximately $3,990 per ounce by the weekend.

The Nasdaq 100 Index, a key risk-asset proxy, rose approximately 2.7% from its October 10 low. The dissolved geopolitical risk and strong corporate earnings buoyed this gain.

Yet, Bitcoin’s price has struggled significantly. As of Sunday evening UTC, Bitcoin traded near $110,000, a 9.4% drop from its price on October 10.

On-chain analysts attribute Bitcoin’s weak trajectory to the loss of momentum triggered by the October 10 crash. This event saw approximately $19 billion in leverage liquidated from the derivatives market, depleting the primary fuel for the recent rally.

Powell’s Warning Overrides Trade TruceThe other significant event was the Federal Reserve’s rate announcement on October 29. The Fed’s FOMC lowered the benchmark interest rate by 0.25 percentage points and announced the termination of Quantitative Tightening (QT) effective December 1—fundamentally positive news for risk assets.

However, Chairman Jerome Powell injected new uncertainty by suggesting the Fed might not implement a rate cut in the December FOMC meeting. This was the first time Powell had offered such a concrete opinion on the next month’s decision.

Before the FOMC, the CME FedWatch tool showed a 91.5% probability of a December rate cut. Powell’s comments caused this probability to plunge to 55%, triggering an immediate 2% drop in Bitcoin’s price. Though the FedWatch probability has since recovered to 70.4% as of Sunday, the outlook remains highly ambiguous.

Fed Officials Back Powell; New Uncertainty LoomsMultiple Fed officials have since publicly supported Powell’s stance. Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic stated that Powell’s message accurately conveyed the diverse views within the Fed and expressed appreciation for the Chairman’s willingness to signal a potential rate hold in December.

In summary, while the US-China summit successfully reduced the geopolitical uncertainty of October, the Fed has introduced a new layer of ambiguity regarding the future of monetary easing.

Consequently, macroeconomic indicators like inflation and employment data will regain significant influence this week. The Altcoin Season Index, a proxy for crypto market uncertainty, hit 41 on Sunday, its lowest level since the second week of August.

The Week Ahead: A Slew of Macro DataA heavy schedule of employment data releases will dominate the week: the JOLTs Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey is due Tuesday, ADP Nonfarm Employment on Wednesday, Unemployment Claims on Thursday, and the Michigan Inflation Expectations Index on Friday. Stronger-than-expected jobs data will increase the probability of a December rate hold.

Public statements from various Fed officials, including Governor Lisa D. Cook (Monday), Vice Chair Michelle W. Bowman (Tuesday), and Governors Michael S. Barr and Christopher J. Waller (Thursday), are also anticipated to move the market.

Bitcoin (BTC) is once again at a critical turning point, retesting a price level that has historically determined whether the market heads for another rally or deeper correction. According to new data from on-chain analytics firm Glassnode, the cryptocurrency is currently hovering around the 0.85 supply quantile, a zone that has often acted as a “make-or-break” level for Bitcoin's trend direction.

Bitcoin, Gold, and Silver are facing potential breakdowns despite bullish attempts to sustain upward momentum. The recent US-China truce appears to have reduced market uncertainty, leading investors to rotate capital away from traditional safe havens.

Bitcoin’s price has been consolidating along an ascending trendline in October, capped at $111,999. Bears continue to defend this resistance, with the RSI hovering at 46, signaling weakening momentum. The 9-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at $111,281 also acts as a near-term barrier, applying downward pressure. If Bitcoin fails to hold the ascending trendline, it could slide to $106,234 or even $100,718. On the upside, a decisive break above $111,999 could pave the way toward $117,552 and potentially $123,084, though only a daily close above $123,891 would confirm a strong bullish reversal toward $126,199.

Gold, meanwhile, shows similar exhaustion. After a strong rally driven by trade war uncertainty, the metal now risks falling below $4,000. The RSI’s decline below 50 suggests waning momentum, with a break below $3,971 likely confirming further downside. However, bulls remain active near current levels; sustained buying could push prices above $4,046, signaling renewed strength.

Silver’s technicals also flash warning signs. The RSI indicates a bearish crossover, historically followed by price drops. Silver could test $47.41 or even $45.51 if the correction deepens. Nonetheless, strong support lies near the 50- and 200-day SMAs at $48.16 and $47.73. Should buying momentum rebound, Silver may target resistance near $49.9 and eventually $51.01.

As markets digest easing geopolitical tensions, traders remain cautious. The next decisive move across Bitcoin and precious metals may hinge on renewed demand or further macroeconomic clarity.

Bitcoin is entering a new phase of maturity as institutional investors increasingly dominate market activity. On-chain data throughout 2025 reveals dormant wallets reactivating, signaling that early holders are gradually transferring their assets to institutional buyers. This transition mirrors the “post-IPO” phase seen in traditional markets, where early investors exit as larger financial players step in. Jeff Park of Bitwise refers to this as Bitcoin’s “silent IPO,” where ETFs provide a structured way for original holders to distribute holdings without disrupting prices.

Unlike past downturns driven by fear or regulation, today’s Bitcoin distribution occurs under strong macroeconomic conditions and high liquidity. Notably, large transactions, such as Galaxy Digital’s movement of over 80,000 BTC for estate planning, demonstrate a patient, strategic sell-off. Historical patterns suggest these consolidation phases last six to 18 months, signaling that Bitcoin is now transitioning from retail-driven speculation to professional asset management.

Institutional adoption has surged since the launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs in 2024. CoinShares reports that institutional investors held $27.4 billion in Bitcoin ETFs by Q4 2024—a 114% quarterly rise. Despite this growth, adoption remains early; only 225 of 30,000 global hedge funds hold Bitcoin ETFs, with average allocations at 0.2%. Yet, rising institutional demand has fueled strong performance across the crypto ecosystem, with Galaxy Digital managing $9 billion in assets and crypto lending growing to $53.09 billion by mid-2025.

For early investors, this shift represents psychological de-risking rather than loss of confidence. Many convert spot Bitcoin into ETFs or use derivatives for wealth preservation. As Bitcoin ownership spreads across pension funds and asset managers, volatility is expected to decline, cementing its evolution from a speculative asset to a cornerstone of global finance.

T-Mobile is launching its first credit card in partnership with Capital One.

The wireless company’s new card will feature no annual fees and 2% in T-Mobile rewards, company officials told Bloomberg News on Saturday (Nov. 1).

“It’s not often you get to build a card from the ground up,” said Scott Simpson, Capital One’s senior vice president of U.S. card partnerships.

According to the report, the new card will run on Visa’s network, with T-Mobile customers getting $5 off their bills per month when they use the card via auto pay. T-Mobile customers can start applying for the new card Tuesday (Nov. 4.)

André Almeida, T-Mobile’s president of growth and emerging businesses, said in an interview that the carrier had mulled a credit card before but hadn’t found the right partner.

“It’s about making it easier for people to earn rewards so you don’t need an Excel spreadsheet,” he told Bloomberg.

Bloomberg noted that this will be Capital One’s first co-branded card since it acquired Discover for $35 billion earlier this year. The company previously launched card partnerships with retailers like Kohl’s, Bass Pro Shops and Williams-Sonoma.

During an earnings call last month, CEO Richard Fairbank said that the company’s acquisition of Discover was the chief driver of its domestic card results for the quarter.

“Looking through the Discover impact, the combined domestic card business delivered another quarter of top line growth, strong margins and improving credit,” he said.

In other credit news, PYMNTS wrote last month about new PYMNTS Intelligence research showing that many households, including high-income ones, have doubts about their creditworthiness in spite of healthy financial profiles.

“Many Americans believe they would have little or no chance of being approved for a new credit product, even though actual approval rates show otherwise,” the report said.

That uncertainty includes people in the upper-income brackets, with 33% of consumers who make more than $100,000 per year saying they believe they would probably or certainly be denied a new credit card application.

The reality is that denial rates are modest. Among respondents without an active credit card, only 15% said they had ever been turned down for their desired limit. High earners may have strong FICO scores and ample liquidity, but they remain cautious about tapping new credit lines, often conflating economic uncertainty with personal risk.

Data suggest the Nasdaq will continue its growth spurt next year. Buying shares of this high-quality stock-split stock is a great way to profit from the trend.

The Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX: ^IXIC) has been on an impressive bull market run that began just over three years ago. The accelerating adoption of artificial intelligence (AI), higher corporate earnings, and the ongoing campaign of interest rate cuts have created a perfect storm to sustain the market's momentum. The tech-centric index's three-year rise suggests good things for investors in the coming year.

Since 1975, there have been five bull markets that have lasted longer than three years, and each time the rally beyond past the three-year threshold continued to climb, averaging eight years, with even the shortest one lasting for five years. History suggests the current bull has room to run.

There's also been a renaissance in stock splits. A growing number of investor-favorite stocks are splitting their shares, which is historically preceded by strong operating and financial metrics. As a result, investors are taking a renewed look at these stock-split stocks. One such company is Netflix (NFLX +2.79%). The streaming video stock has surged 932% over the past decade (as of this writing) and 48% over the past year, prompting manangemet to announce a 10-for-1 forward stock split, scheduled for later this month. Evidence suggests the company's impressive run will continue into 2026. Here's why.

The leader of the pack
It wasn't terribly long ago that market watchers were making dire predictions about Netflix's future. Streaming competitors, including Disney+, Warner Bros. Discovery, and Peacock by Comcast, were being offered up as "Netflix killers," and investors were justifiably concerned. However, the reality turned out to be much different.

Netflix took more than a decade and an estimated $135 billion to build out its content library, burning cash and amassing debt in order to do so. Many on Wall Street doubted that Netflix would ever be cash flow positive and profitable, and it took more than 10 years to prove the bears wrong.

Rivals thought it would be quick and easy to vanquish Netflix and steal its crown, but conquering the streaming market proved harder than it looked. One by one, Netflix's would-be rivals scaled back their ambitions as pressure from Wall Street and Main Street mounted for these streaming wannabes to focus on profitability.

Catalysts for future growth
A report emerged earlier this year that laid out Netflix's ambitious plans to grow its content library, increase its global expansion, and expand the reach of its ad-supported tier, predicting dramatic results by 2030, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal:

Double revenue from $39 billion to $78 billion within five years.
Earn $9 billion in global ad revenue by 2030, up more than fourfold from an estimated $2.15 billion.
Triple operating income to $30 billion.
Increase its subscriber count to 410 million, up from roughly 302 million in 2024.
Earn a $1 trillion market cap by 2030.

While those goals might seem ambitious, Netflix has a track record of proving doubters wrong.

One example of how the company can achieve these goals stands out. The Netflix original movie KPop Demon Hunters has become nothing short of a global phenomenon. Consider some of the blockbusters' most notable achievements:

Most-watched Netflix film ever.
First Netflix film to reach No. 1 at the box office (during its limited release).
The soundtrack hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
The first soundtrack ever to have four simultaneous songs in the Billboard Hot 100's Top 10.
The hit song Golden spent six weeks at No.1.
Sparked a groundbreaking licensing deal with Hasbro and Mattel to create toys and games based on the hit movie.

To be clear, this isn't Netflix's first runaway smash hit. Let's not forget blockbuster fan favorites like Squid Game, Stranger Things, Wednesday, The Witcher, and Bridgerton, which have all spawned multiple seasons, creating opportunities to develop additional revenue streams through product placement, experiences, and merchandising.

The number tell a tale
Netflix's results tell a compelling story. For the third quarter, Netflix generated revenue that increased 17% to $11.5 billion, driving its earnings per share (EPS) up 9% to $5.87; however, the results have an asterisk. The company has an ongoing dispute with Brazilian tax authorities and took a one-time charge of $619 million while the issue plays out. If not for a one-time charge related to a disputed Brazilian tax assessment, profits would have increased by 27%.

Management expects the company's growth spurt to continue. Netflix is guiding for Q4 revenue of $11.96 billion, up 17% and EPS to rise 28% to $5.45.

Wall Street is equally bullish. Analysts' consensus estimates are calling for revenue to grow 15% to $45 billion and EPS to climb 28% to $25.30. Furthermore, Netflix's operating margin continues to expand, and management expects it to surpass 29.3% in 2025, up from 26.7% last year. This illustrates that the company is becoming even more profitable. Finally, the upcoming stock split is expected to increase accessibility for a broader range of investors.

Netflix is currently trading for 34 times next year's expected earnings, which might seem an expensive for a streaming video business. However, the premium valuation is justified by the company's industry-leading position, increasing global audience, ambitious plans for growth, and expanding profitability. This shows why Netflix is well-positioned to continue its winning streak into 2026.

MP Materials has fallen sharply from recent highs. Has this company hit its ceiling, or is there room for growth?

MP Materials (MP 2.82%) sits on one of the most strategically important patches of earth in the U.S.: the Mountain Pass rare-earth mine in California.

It's the only major U.S. source of the metals that power electric vehicles (EVs), smartphones, drones, and wind turbines, among other applications. That fact alone has made it both a national security asset and a darling among materials stocks.

Indeed, by mid-October, MP stock underwent a euphoric gain, surging over 500% on the year. Since then, however, the mining stock has started to fall back to Earth.

For growth-oriented investors, this back-and-forth begs the question: Is MP a long-term winner, or should you wait this one out?

A red October for MP
MP Materials had a red October -- red-hot for the first half, then deep in the red for the second.

After doubling in value over the summer, MP's shares shot even higher on news that China would expand export controls on rare-earth elements. Investors were bullish on the possibility that, sans China, MP would become the U.S.'s go-to supplier for rare earth metals. Bitter tension between Beijing and Washington seemed to support that hypothesis sweetly.

Then came a chill.

Toward the end of October, hints of a U.S.-China trade thaw cooled red-hot enthusiasm for rare earth miners in the West. Indeed, when word spread that China and the U.S. could be reaching a truce on tariffs, MP's upward trajectory reversed. As of this writing, the stock is now down over 34% since its recent highs.

What does this mean for MP's business? On the one hand, it could hurt MP's future profitability. If the U.S. increases its supply of rare earth metals from China, it could lead to lower prices later on. MP is already struggling to become profitable. At this point, it doesn't need any more headwinds.

At the same time, it might not hurt profitability that much. Even if relations between China and the U.S. improve, it's unlikely Washington will return to its deep dependence on Chinese metals. Add in the fact that the Pentagon has already invested hundreds of millions in MP (more on that below), and the company's outlook doesn't look doomed.

Does MP have growth ahead?
There's a strong case to be made that MP's growth story is just beginning.

For one, look at its partners. In July, the Department of Defense (DOD) became its biggest shareholder with a $400 million investment. At the same time, it also guaranteed a 10-year price floor of $110 per kilogram of NdPr (neodymium-praseodymium). For context: The price for NdPr at the end of September was about $79 per kilogram.

Then there's Apple (AAPL 0.31%). Many of Apple's devices need the high-performance magnets that MP specializes in. As such, the tech giant agreed to a $500 million partnership that will help MP build its second magnet factory (10X Facility) in exchange for a long-term supply of recycled magnets.

Finally, let's not forget the market itself: data centers, EV motors, wind turbines. Each new electrified technology needs what MP makes. So far, there's no near-term substitute for high-performance magnets, nor even a competitor that can rival MP's strength.

All the pieces are there. The question is whether MP can execute to bring them all together.

What investors should watch out for
To gauge MP's growth potential, investors might want to focus less on the day-to-day swings and more on what happens next operationally.

First, I'd keep an eye on MP's construction of its 10X Facility. The investment case improves materially as MP builds out its capacity to turn mined ore into magnets. Currently, it doesn't have the manufacturing arm to meet the market's demands, and this second magnet factory will be a crucial step for future profitability.

Next, I'd watch its balance sheet closely. MP is a mining company, after all, and capital expenditures are expected to be costly. At the end of June, MP had more than $750 million in cash and short-term investments, but its total debt was just shy of $920 million. And although its net losses have been shrinking, MP is still unprofitable.

To be sure, it could take a few years before MP has the manufacturing capacity to generate meaningful revenue. Consistent quarter-to-quarter progress toward positive operating cash flow, however, will be the signal that it's executing well on its promise.

For growth-oriented investors, MP still has plenty of fuel in the tank for a positive run. Patience will matter more than time, as the growth thesis here isn't a quick gain but a slow build toward something more durable.

FMC now has a market cap of just $2 billion.

FMC (FMC 2.32%) stock is falling from the sky. After earnings were announced last week, shares plummeted by more than 40%. But that's just the tip of the iceberg. Since 2023, shares have lost nearly 90% of their value.

What exactly is going on, and is this your chance to buy low?

Three things going wrong with FMC right now
There isn't just one culprit to FMC's latest demise. The nearly 90% reduction in value since 2023 has stemmed from multiple sources. But there are a few primary concerns that investors should be familiar with.

FMC is considered an agricultural sciences company, which basically means that it supplies farmers with things like insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, and other crop protection solutions. The company generates revenue from all over the world, with an active research and development arm focused on creating new solutions and technologies to help farmers improve yields and reduce crop loss. In other words, FMC's goal is to help farmers make more money.

The most obvious reason FMC stock is tanking is poor financials. Annual sales have moved from nearly $6 billion in 2023 to just above $4 billion today. And while its gross profit margin hasn't declined nearly as much, deteriorating revenue has caused its net profit margin to hover close to 0%. This past quarter, the company posted a $569 million loss compared to a $66 million profit this time last year. Next quarter, the company expects revenue to fall by another 4% year over year, resulting in negative free cash flow of $100 million for 2025. Accordingly, the market has dramatically reduced the company's price-to-sales ratio from roughly 3 in 2023 to less than 0.5 today.

FMC PS Ratio data by YCharts

Poor financials, of course, are just a reflection of a struggling business model. What exactly is going wrong operationally for FMC? A few obvious culprits are to blame. FMC doesn't typically sell its products directly to farmers. Instead, it sells to distributors and other vendors, which in turn sell to farmers. Due to supply chain disruptions, these vendors built up too much inventory, forcing them to reduce orders. Encouragingly, however, FMC believes that real-world applications of their products by farmers has held steady, suggesting that this is simply a short-term headwind that needs unwinding.

But there are other issues, too. This oversupply has caused the company to lower prices in order to stoke revenue growth. Again, this may be a short-term issue that will be resolved once oversupply is removed as an overhang. But competition in the space is rising, too, especially internationally, where FMC has dealt with foreign exchange headwinds that have lowered earnings when reported in U.S. dollars. Competition is especially fierce in regions where demand headwinds exist, such as drought-ridden Brazil and financially pressured farmers in Europe.

So, poor financials have been driven by temporary industry oversupply and weaker-than-expected international demand. But there's one other factor that led to the company's 40% drop this week: a massive dividend cut. In response to crumbling financials, management opted to slash the quarterly dividend from $0.48 per share to just $0.08 per share. This spooked investors, with analysts wondering how sustainable the company's $4.5 billion debt load is. Keep in mind that the company is now free-cash-flow-negative, with a market cap of just $2 billion.

Time to buy FMC stock on the cheap?
I'm tempted to buy shares of FMC on the dip. But investors should understand that this is a very complicated story. FMC recently announced that it would sell its India business, which is more capital-intensive and has faced more severe oversupply issues. Meanwhile, it's not clear how long industry overstocking issues will be a drag on revenue growth. In other words, uncertainty for FMC is very high right now, especially in regard to its ability to service its debt load.

Shares look cheap based on normalized conditions. But how long it will take to return to normal is unknown. If you're interested in taking a position, it may be wise to start slow, adding to your position on any future weakness. Expect volatility, as well as more negative surprises.

Oil rose after OPEC and its allies agreed to boost oil production by 137,000 barrels a day in December, but said they wouldn't increase production in first three months of 2026 due to seasonality.

Gold fell in the early Asian session on reports that China is ending a tax incentive for sales of the precious metal, effective Nov. 1.

The rising producer of electric taxi aircraft has a lot of potential. The problem is the stock has already taken off.

Archer Aviation (ACHR +2.46%) has given early investors a thrilling ride. The electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft (eVTOL) company has seen its stock soar 264% over the past year, capturing the imagination of those betting on the future of urban air mobility. But after such a massive run-up, it's a question of asking: Is there still room for liftoff, or has the stock flown too far, too fast?

The promise of urban air mobility
Archer is one of the leading players in the race to commercialize eVTOL aircraft -- electric air taxis that take off and land vertically, much like helicopters, but with lower noise, reduced emissions, and lower operational costs. The company's flagship vehicle, the Midnight, is designed for short-distance urban travel--think a 10- to 20-minute flight across a congested city instead of a 60-minute car ride.

The idea sounds futuristic, but it's closer to reality than many think. Archer is targeting early commercial deployments of its aircraft in 2026. Back in April, Archer announced a planned partnership with United Airlines to move aircraft between major airports and city centers in New York City as part of an "air taxi network." This could be just the start of a broader network of flight offerings from Archer Aviation.

There's a ton of potential for this type of idea. The question is how to compare the stock price with its actual results.

Progress on production -- but no revenue yet
Perhaps the biggest challenge with figuring out Archer's stock price is that there's very little to go on. The company has no revenue, so we have to look at news and plans rather than actual financial results. According to its Q2 2025 press release, Archer has begun ramping up manufacturing of the Midnight, its eVTOL, with six in the works.

However, despite this progress, the company remains deep in the development stage, burning through cash as it builds and tests aircraft. A prime example was the second quarter, where the company had a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) loss of $206 million. It's not the end of the world, as it had over $1.7 billion in cash/equivalents, but it does beg the question of how far their runway is before they have to raise more capital. For reference, shares outstanding increased 73% year over year in the second quarter to over 579 million. We're talking about some serious dilution for shareholders.

All of this creates a wide gap between the expectations surrounding its market potential and the reality of its current business model. Investors are effectively betting on a future that hasn't arrived yet and is expensive to make.

A sky-high valuation for a pre-revenue company
At a current market cap of roughly $7.6 billion, Archer's valuation is difficult to justify based on fundamentals alone. With no revenue and continuing losses, the company's value is derived almost entirely from its future potential. That's a big leap of faith.

While Archer has promising technology and impressive strategic partners, the eVTOL industry faces several hurdles, including regulatory approval, infrastructure development, and public adoption. It could take years before the business generates meaningful profits.

The bull and bear cases
Despite these challenges, the potential market for eVTOL aircraft could be enormous. If Archer becomes one of the dominant players in that ecosystem, today's valuation could look cheap in hindsight. But this still assumes a lot in the future.

Stellantis (STLA +0.00%) is helping with large-scale manufacturing, and Archer has some big opportunities on the horizon. These include being the air taxi provider for the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, involvement in the UAE, and ties to defense programs. Overall, there are a lot of avenues for Archer to pursue; it's just a question of if and when.

On the bear side, investors need to recognize that Archer's success is far from guaranteed. The company faces intense competition from rivals like Joby Aviation (JOBY +4.77%) and Lilium, as well as from traditional aerospace giants that can easily explore their own eVTOL concepts. Moreover, FAA certification is a complex, multiyear process with no guarantees of timely approval.

Even if certification comes through, scaling manufacturing and building the necessary vertiport infrastructure and aircraft could be timely. Meanwhile, Archer continues to burn cash, and further capital raises could dilute existing shareholders' positions more than they already have.

The bottom line
Archer Aviation is a bold bet on the future of citywide air travel. Its Midnight aircraft could redefine how people move across crowded cities--and early progress suggests that the dream is inching closer to reality. However, after a 264% stock surge, the market is already pricing in a lot of that potential. With no revenue yet and multiple hurdles ahead, Archer looks more like a speculative growth story than a grounded investment opportunity. For investors with a long time horizon and a high risk tolerance, Archer could be worth watching. But for most, it might be wiser to wait until this flying taxi maker proves it can actually get off the ground--financially and literally.

Dogecoin (DOGE) traders are watching November closely after a community chartist highlighted the coin’s recurring rally pattern during this month. The trader, known as YazanXBT, said November has historically been one of Dogecoin’s strongest periods.

Dogecoin Pattern Indicates Potential November Altseason Rally
The analyst further argued that DOGE performances are usually in line with larger altcoin rises. He cited previous cycles in 2015, 2017, 2020, and 2024.During these periods, there was a significant increase in DOGE price ascending in November. This preceded long periods of price gains among altcoins.

Heads up

November is historically a very good month for $DOGE which ALWAYS coincides with an altseason.

Keep an eye on Dogecoin. pic.twitter.com/TekqueIBIH

— Yazan 🇵🇸 (@YazanXBT) November 2, 2025

A TradingView chart by ChandlerCharts further depicted these trends noting that there were repeated November breaks that were followed by broader gains in the crypto market. The trend indicates a psychological or even cyclical relationship that might reappear in this year.

Historical Dogecoin data shows each November marks a rally phase that often precedes altcoin market surges.
Dogecoin is trading around $0.183 according to TradingView data. The meme token has fallen 2.2% in the past 24 hours, extending its weekly loss to nearly 7%. A recent heavy DOGE whale accumulation suggests that large holders may be positioning ahead of a potential rebound.

Dogecoin may act as an early indicator of altseason triggering excitement among retail traders who consider the performance of the memecoin as a sign that the altseason is about to start.

Traditionally, Dogecoin rallies have been followed by capital inflows to smaller-cap tokens. Therefore, it is an indicator of primary importance when analyzing sentiment during periods of speculation. In case the pattern repeats itself, traders can be optimistic that fresh activity will resume in memecoins and other community-centered tokens.

Murad Memecoin Portfolio Value Drops Sharply
On-chain data however indicate otherwise in the extended market in recent times. According to Arkham data, the Murad memecoin portfolio have declined by 59% to approximately 27.5million since reaching a peak of $67 million. Most of his investments comprise tokens such as POPCAT, MOG, and RETARDIO, which have experienced sharp drops.

The decline is due to decreasing speculative interest in memecoins following a sharp rise in the middle of the year between June and August. During this period, total memecoin market capitalization briefly rose above $70 billion before cooling since the start of September.

Altcoin Index Shows Bitcoin Dominance
Adding to the caution, data from BlockchainCenter’s Altcoin Season Index shows a reading of 41. This is a significant drop from 84 which it showed earlier. This signals that it is not yet altcoin season. This reading suggests traders might be early in expecting an altcoin breakout, including Dogecoin’s potential rally.

The index reading of 41 suggests it’s not yet altcoin season, showing continued Bitcoin strength.
The Bitcoin dominance suggests that capital is rotating from riskier memecoins and altcoins into the leading cryptocurrency. If Bitcoin performance later slows down this month, it can lead to a shift of capital into Dogecoin and other altcoins.
