Opendoor Technologies

Opendoor Technologies Inc is an end-to-end real estate platform enabling customers to sell and buy a home online. Its product offerings include Sell to Opendoor, its core product where sellers sell their homes directly to the company, and it resells those homes to buyers; List with Opendoor, for customers to list their homes with a partner agent; and Opendoor Marketplace, a capital light marketplace offering that connects home sellers with both institutional and retail buyers. In addition to these products, the company also offers its customers integrated title insurance and escrow services through its subsidiaries. A vast majority of the company's revenue is generated by its core product offering, where it acquires homes directly from sellers and resells those homes to buyers.

U.S. equities have pushed to new all-time highs, and seemingly by design, retail traders are leading this expedition into uncharted territory. As both the S&amp;P 500 and the Nasdaq tick higher, individual investors are piling in, picking up call options and targeting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/short-squeeze">heavily shorted stocks</a> with a fervor not seen in years.
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>OPEN stock is set for a record monthly jump. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/OPEN">See real-time price here</a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/OPEN">.</a></li>
</ul>
In the past month alone, retail inflows have surged. Barclays estimates that more than $50 billion has poured into global equities, according <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2025/07/23/investing/us-stock-market">to</a> CNN. And unlike the disciplined, earnings-driven approach of institutional players, retail momentum is all about speed, sentiment, and spectacle.
"It seems like the story, at least in the equity market, is everything is kind of risk on," Garrett DeSimone, the head of quantitative research at OptionMetrics, said <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/meme-stock-surge-underlines-market-froth-mostly-centred-retail-investors-2025-07-24/">per</a> Reuters. "It has gotten a bit frothy in that sense."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Shades Of 2021</h2>
If this all feels familiar, that's because it is. Names like Kohl's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KSS#NYSE">KSS</a>), Opendoor (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OPEN#NASDAQ">OPEN</a>), Krispy Kreme (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DNUT#NASDAQ">DNUT</a>), and GoPro (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GPRO#NASDAQ">GPRO</a>) are echoing the explosive meme-fueled surges of AMC and GameStop from years ago.
On Tuesday, Kohl's more than doubled in pre-market before giving up most of those gains, all without any news to justify the move. Its short interest stands at 50%. Sound familiar?
Opendoor jumped over 300% in six days, despite persistent operational challenges. Meanwhile, Beeline Holdings, a nano-cap mortgage fintech, sits atop the short interest leaderboard at 166.77%, followed by Neovolta (81.22%) and Skillz (81.02%).
All are exhibiting signs of the same short-squeeze dynamics that propelled meme stocks to dizzying heights in 2021, and the data support this.
The <a href="https://www.goldmansachsindices.com/products">Goldman Sachs Most Shorted Rolling Index</a> is up more than 60% since April, outpacing the broader market by a wide margin. Social chatter is also surging — Reddit's WallStreetBets is once again abuzz with call-to-arms posts and coordinated buying campaigns.
"They have a huge amount of mentions across retail boards and Reddit," said DeSimone. "They&#8217;ve definitely attracted some attention — not based on fundamentals, which I guess defines a meme stock."
Call options now make up 68% of total options volume, the highest since the 2021 meme mania and just shy of their peak. For context, that number dropped to 42% during the 2022 bear market. That kind of speculative fervor is difficult to ignore — and even harder to sustain.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Institutional Contrarians</h2>
While retail traders chase short squeezes and out-of-the-money calls, institutions are pumping the brakes. Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-06-17/us-stock-market-s-outperformance-is-over-bofa-survey-shows">noted</a> that per the Bank of America's latest fund manager survey, only 23% of asset managers expect U.S. equities to outperform over the next five years. The majority (54%) are now betting on international stocks as the better long-term play.
The same survey revealed that 36% of investors are underweight U.S. equities, while positioning in the eurozone and emerging markets is at multi-year highs. Meanwhile, a net 31% are underweight the U.S. dollar, the most bearish stance in two decades.
The surface reason is simple enough. The S&amp;P 500 is trading at over 22.5 times its forward earnings, significantly above its historical average of 15.8, while the total market capitalization-to-GDP ratio has exceeded 210%.
These numbers, in combination with geopolitics and President Donald Trump&#8216;s latest tariff and spending plans, along with rising deficits, provide reason enough for institutions to think – is this the best place to park my money?
The professionals aren't chasing this rally — they're watching it warily from the sidelines. And that divergence is becoming harder to ignore.

S&P 500 Is The New Meme Stock As Retail Torches Wall Street

Opendoor Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OPEN#NASDAQ">OPEN</a>) stock experienced a 4.55% increase in <a href="https://www.google.com/finance/quote/OPEN:NASDAQ">after-hours trading</a> on Thursday, riding the wave of renewed meme stock mania. Here's all <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/OPEN">you need to know</a>.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/OPEN">how OPEN stock is trading here</a>.&nbsp;
What Happened: Opendoor&#8217;s stock price increased from $2.42 to $2.53 in after-hours trading. This latest gain comes on the heels of a 5.68% rise during normal trading hours, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/OPEN">Benzinga Pro</a> data.
This recent surge in stock price follows a series of events that have kept the market on its toes. Just a few days ago, Opendoor&#8217;s stock was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/07/46592705/opendoor-stock-surges-6-55-after-hours-amid-meme-mania">surging amid meme mania</a>, and earlier this week, the stock was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46618162/opendoor-kohls-stocks-recover-growing-sense-fomo-could-fuel-more-meme-stock-rallies">recovering from a down day</a> as a growing sense of FOMO fueled a fresh wave of meme stock mania.

Analysts have pointed to FOMO, or &#8220;fear of missing out,&#8221; as the driving force behind the resurgence of meme stock mania, with Opendoor leading the charge.
Why It Matters: The recent surge in Opendoor&#8217;s stock price is part of a broader trend of meme stock mania that has been sweeping the market. This trend has seen a fresh batch of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46616728/dork-frenzy-whats-fueling-meme-stock-revival">meme stocks</a>, including Opendoor, Krispy Kreme (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DNUT#NASDAQ">DNUT</a>), and Kohl&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KSS#NYSE">KSS</a>), dubbed the &#8220;DORK,&#8221; give Wall Street a masterclass in how gamma squeezes can whip markets into a frenzy.
Amid the rally, insider activity also draws attention. Sydney Schaub, Opendoor's Chief Legal Officer, at an average price of $3.50, sold over 47,000 shares in July across three transactions (July 15, 16, and 21). These sales, along with over 111,000 shares sold in mid-June for tax obligations, were all executed under a pre-arranged Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted in 2024.
Despite the volatility, some investors remain unfazed. Eric Jackson, the fund manager credited for sparking Opendoor&#8217;s recent surge, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/07/46597179/fund-manager-who-kickstarted-opendoor-frenzy-shrugs-off-meme-stock-hype-says-its-a-real-business-as-stock-craters-for-second-straight-day">shrugged off the &#8220;meme stock&#8221; hype</a>, stating that Opendoor is a real business.
With the stock&#8217;s recent performance, it remains to be seen how the meme stock mania will continue to unfold and what it means for the broader market.
With a strong Momentum in the 82nd percentile, Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings indicate that OPEN has a positive price trend across all time frames. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Know how</a> its momentum lines up with well-known names like Petco Health and Wellness (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WOOOF#NASDAQ">WOOOF</a>) and Zillow Gr (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZG#NASDAQ">ZG</a>).

Opendoor Stock Spikes 4.55% In After-Hours Trading, What You Should Know

FOMO — or "fear of missing out" — is fueling a fresh wave of meme stock mania, analysts say, with Opendoor Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OPEN#NASDAQ">OPEN</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46547846/opendoor-investor-who-ignited-500-rally-gives-you-his-100-bagger-playbook">leading the charge</a>.
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>See up-to-the-minute charts for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/OPEN">Opendoor Technologies stock here.</a>&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
Opendoor stock was up 18% in Thursday's midday trading, recovering from a down day on Wednesday. The share price of Kohl's Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KSS#NYSE">KSS</a>) was also higher, trading up by 8% at the time of publication. 
However, other <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46576039/krispy-kreme-enters-meme-stock-frenzy-with-hot-glazed-hype">recent retail darlings</a> like Krispy Kreme, Inc.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What's Driving The Action?&nbsp;</h3>
Retail investors are getting back into the market, driven by strong economic data and President Donald Trump's announcements of new trade deals, according to Stephen Callahan, trading behavior analyst at Firstrade.&nbsp;
Callahan said retail investors are returning to the market at a time when it has become more difficult for individual investors to find traditional "bargains."&nbsp;&nbsp;
As macroeconomic uncertainty settles and the S&amp;P 500 hits new highs almost daily, retail investors are turning to more speculative plays that have gathered momentum<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/07/46594563/sydney-sweeney-sends-american-eagle-stock-soaring-during-after-hours-trading-meme-stock-buzz-builds"> through social media </a>as they seek higher returns.&nbsp;
The trading behavior analyst highlighted the influence of retail investors and the viral spread of ideas online in several recent speculative plays. 
"The online trading community has identified a new crop of meme stocks, DNUT, OPEN, RKT, and KSS, all of which have seen significant price spikes following heightened chatter on Reddit's WallStreetBets and similar forums," Callahan said.&nbsp;
Callahan said that a "growing sense of FOMO is emerging," which could add to the momentum of the current retail trend, and new meme stocks could emerge if market sentiment remains strong.
"If confidence in the market continues to grow and macro indicators continue to point to a strong underlying economy, we're likely to see more of these rallies … reinforcing the influence and staying power of the retail trading community," Callahan concluded.&nbsp;

Opendoor, Kohl's Stocks Recover As A 'Growing Sense Of FOMO' Could Fuel More Meme Stock Rallies

A fresh batch <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/meme-stocks">of meme stocks</a>—dubbed the "DORK" (DNUT, OPEN, RKLB, KSS) &#8211; just gave Wall Street a masterclass in how gamma squeezes can whip markets into a frenzy. 
See how DNUT stock has soared recently, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/DNUT">here</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The DORKs Show Us How Gamma Squeezes Work</h2>
These names, including Krispy Kreme Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DNUT#NASDAQ">DNUT</a>), Opendoor Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OPEN#NASDAQ">OPEN</a>), Rocket Lab USA Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RKLB#NASDAQ">RKLB</a>), Kohls Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KSS#NYSE">KSS</a>) and GoPro Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GPRO#NASDAQ">GPRO</a>), erupted not on fundamentals but on the back of out-of-the-money call options feverishly bought by retail traders. 
Gamma squeezes usually happen in highly shorted or volatile stocks. As the stock price rises, Gamma (which measures the price sensitivity of an option to the stock moves) forces market makers to adjust (buy more stock) more aggressively.
The result? Market makers scrambled to hedge, pushing prices sky-high in a matter of hours.

Opendoor soared a jaw-dropping 440% in July before reality bit back. Kohl's surged 105% intraday before being halted, ultimately settling with a 39% gain &#8211; still massive for a company weighed down by long-term retail woes.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Flashpoints: Opendoor, Kohl's &amp; Krispy Kreme</h2>
Opendoor experienced a 330% increase in just six sessions before tanking by 20% in a single day. Kohl's, with nearly half its float shorted, became a textbook gamma melt-up.
Meanwhile, Krispy Kreme jumped 27% before trimming to 18%, despite underwhelming earnings.
Even GoPro, a longtime retail darling, leapt about 45% before pulling back, just enough to secure its DORK badge.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Casino Market: Big Wins, Bigger Risks</h2>
For retail investors, this is the new lottery. One Redditor <a href="https://www.marketwatch.com/story/im-already-up-45-000-in-about-an-hour-reddit-traders-boast-about-wins-as-meme-stock-mania-returns-18c2829a" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">claimed</a> a $45,000 gain on a $45 Kohl's call option. But like any good casino, the house always wins eventually. Once gamma flows unwind, these stocks drop fast, leaving latecomers holding the bag.
Short sellers aren't spared either. Their panic-fueled exits only pour gas on the fire before they, too, get crushed in the aftermath. Even market makers get burned—forced to buy high, then sell low as the chaos reverses.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Takeaway</h2>
The DORK rally isn't about fundamentals—it's about gamma, sentiment, and speed. These surges can be thrilling, but they're also a reminder that meme-stock mania is more roulette than research. 
Play if you must—but don't forget when to walk away.

Inside The DORK Frenzy: What's Really Fueling This Meme Stock Revival?

Opendoor Technologies Option Alert: Fri $3 Calls Sweep (65) near the Ask: 2786 @ $0.301 vs 42656 OI; Earnings 8/5 After Close Ref=$2.875

Online real estate company, Opendoor Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OPEN#NASDAQ">OPEN</a>), tumbled for a second consecutive session, but Eric Jackson, the fund manager credited for sparking last week&#8217;s surge, remains unfazed.
Check out the current price of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/OPEN" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">OPEN stock here</a>.
What Happened: On Wednesday, in a post on X, Jackson addressed concerns regarding Opendoor&#8217;s two-day losing streak, which comes following a 483% rally over the past month. 
&#8220;Water finds its level,&#8221; Jackson says, suggesting that no matter how wild a stock swings, its true value and fundamentals eventually reflect in its price.

This was after the stock dropped 10% on Tuesday and another 20% on Wednesday, leaving investors who jumped in on the frenzy at later stages jittery. The stock is currently reversing the trend, and is up 9.17% in after-hours trading, at the time of writing.
Jackson saws a line between &#8220;meme&#8221; stocks such as GameStop Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>) and AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMC#NYSE">AMC</a>), and Opendoor, saying that the latter is &#8220;a real business&#8221; that is rooted in business fundamentals, as opposed to hype or social media momentum.

&#8220;Let the flippers chase the other meme stocks,&#8221; he says, marking a clear distinction between Opendoor and the others, while adding that &#8220;This isn&#8217;t a meme stock. It&#8217;s a real business.&#8221;
In a subsequent post on Wednesday, Jackson asks his followers to compare the one-month chart of Opendoor, as well as those of &#8220;other crappy meme stocks.&#8221; One of them is real, the others are not, he says, while highlighting other stocks with similar growth potential.

Why It Matters: Last week, Jackson ignited Opendoor&#8217;s monumental rally by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/small-cap/25/07/46459498/opendoor-is-the-next-carvana-stock-surges-43-on-activist-investors-take-on-company-ill-saddle-up">comparing the stock</a> with Carvana Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVNA#NYSE">CVNA</a>), a once-beaten-down used car retailer, which he invested in at $21 a share, and now trades up 1,576%. Since then, he calls himself &#8220;the Carvana hedge fund guy.&#8221;
Early this week, Jackson advised investors in Opendoor to buy core positions and &#8220;sit on your hands&#8221; for the long haul, while cautioning against selling too soon and overtrading. 
He reiterated his target of $82 a share, if the company can achieve consistent profitability, which represents a 3,480% upside from Wednesday&#8217;s closing price.
Price Action: On Wednesday, Opendoor shares dropped 20.49%, trading at $2.29, but is up 9.17% after hours.

Fund Manager Who Kickstarted Opendoor Frenzy Shrugs Off 'Meme Stock' Hype, Says 'It's A Real Business' As Stock Craters For Second Straight Day

U.S. stock futures were fluctuating on Thursday after rallying on Wednesday. Futures of major benchmark indices were mixed.
Alphabet Inc. drove gains as Google Search alone brought in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46593735/google-ceo-sundar-pichai-shrugs-off-headling-grabbing-exits-amid-talent-war-hype-we-are-doing-very-well">$54.19 billion in the second quarter</a>, and it raised its capital expenditure forecast for 2025 to around $85 billion, citing &#8220;strong and growing demand&#8221; for its cloud products and services.
Meanwhile, Tesla Inc. dropped after the CEO, Elon Musk, and CFO Vaibhav Taneja warned about the projected impacts from President Donald Trump&#8216;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/07/46592460/tesla-stock-drops-after-hours-analysts-lament-lack-of-clear-metrics-balance-sheet-pressure-and-legal-risks-elon-musk-gave-ton-of-ammunition-to-lawyers-suing-him">tax and spending package </a>and the end of the EV tax credit.
Additionally, Trump said that U.S. trading partners will see tariff rates <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46593182/trump-signs-new-executive-orders-to-fast-track-ai-dominance-we-will-be-unstoppable-as-a-nation">ranging from 15% to 50%</a> at an AI summit hosted by the Hill &amp; Valley Forum and the &#8220;All-In&#8221; podcast. 
The 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.40% and the two-year bond was at 3.89%. The CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a>&#8216;s projections show markets pricing a 97.4% likelihood of the Federal Reserve keeping the current interest rates unchanged in its July meeting.

Insights From Analysts:
Despite a recent uptick in performance, the fundamentals do not support a favorable rating on U.S. small-cap equities, according to Scott Wren, Senior Global Market Strategist at Wells Fargo Investment Institute. Wren expressed a cautious stance, advising clients to temper expectations for the asset class for the remainder of 2025 and into 2026.
&#8220;We do not believe the fundamentals support a favorable rating on U.S. Small Cap Equities,&#8221; stated Wren, noting that many strategists have struggled to accurately time a resurgence in small-cap stocks relative to their large-cap counterparts over the past few years.
The Russell 2000 Index, a key measure of small-cap performance, has seen a noticeable improvement since the S&amp;P 500 Index hit its year-low on April 7. Since then, the R2K has slightly outperformed the S&amp;P 500, rallying 27.7% compared to the latter&#8217;s 27.2% rise as of July 23.
This recent neck-and-neck performance has drawn attention, particularly given the S&amp;P 500&#8217;s significant outperformance over the past two years. Over the past four years, the S&amp;P 500 is up nearly 55% while the R2K is largely flat.
Wren attributes the historical underperformance and recent improvement to a combination of &#8220;poor fundamentals (in recent years) and market risk tolerance (more recently).&#8221; He elaborated that smaller-cap equities typically possess weaker balance sheets and are more sensitive to interest rates, relying heavily on credit.
Wells Fargo Investment Institute has maintained a neutral weighting for U.S. Small Cap Equities for nearly a year. While investors have recently gravitated towards small caps amid a &#8220;risk-on&#8221; mood and expectations for multiple Federal Reserve interest rate cuts this year, Wren stated, &#8220;We, on the other hand, have stuck with our recommendation to lean toward quality large-cap equities and look for the Fed to cut interest rates only one time this year.&#8221;
As a result, Wells Fargo suggests investors consider trimming their exposure to U.S. Small Cap Equities, either holding those funds for future reinvestment at lower levels or reallocating them to favored sectors that have recently underperformed, such as Energy, Utilities, and Financials.
Meanwhile, Ryan Detrick of Carson Research highlighted that July 2025 was going to match an old record from 1950 to 1961 when the S&amp;P 500 index was up for 11 consecutive Julys. This July would mark the 11th consecutive year as well, starting from 2014.

American Eagle Outfitters Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AEO#NYSE">AEO</a>) stock jumped 23.84% in after-hours trading on Wednesday, reaching $13.40 following the launch of a new advertising campaign featuring actress Sydney Sweeney.
The surge adds to speculation that the apparel retailer could become the latest target in the ongoing meme stock phenomenon.

American Eagle announced Wednesday its Fall 2025 campaign titled &#8220;Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans,&#8221; featuring the globally recognized actress to promote the company&#8217;s position as the leading jeans brand for Generation Z consumers. The campaign marks a strategic return to the retailer&#8217;s denim heritage.
&#8220;This fall season, American Eagle is celebrating what makes our brand iconic – trendsetting denim that leads, never follows,&#8221; said Jennifer Foyle, President and Executive Creative Director for AE &amp; Aerie, in the company&#8217;s press release.
The campaign includes innovative marketing strategies such as 3D billboards and a presence on the Sphere&#8217;s Exosphere in Las Vegas. A limited-edition denim jacket inspired by Sweeney&#8217;s style will retail for $79.95 starting August 10.

Opendoor Stock Surges 6.55% After Hours Amid Meme Mania

Krispy Kreme, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DNUT#NASDAQ">DNUT</a>) has entered the arena as the latest heavily-shorted stock to join the meme stock battle as rallies in Opendoor Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OPEN#NASDAQ">OPEN</a>) and Kohl's Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KSS#NYSE">KSS</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/07/46562887/kohls-corp-krispy-kreme-lockheed-martin-circle-internet-and-lucid-group-why-these-5-stocks-are-on-investors-radars-today">fizzled on Wednesday.&nbsp;</a>
What To Know: Krispy Kreme, a stock with enormous short interest, soared as much as 34.4% in premarket trading on Wednesday following a nearly 27% rally on Tuesday.
Krispy Kreme's move came after Opendoor, Kohl's and GoPro, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GPRO#NASDAQ">GPRO</a>) soared in an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/25/07/46522335/opendoor-stock-frenzy-continues-is-40-per-share-the-next-stop?utm_source=articleShare">apparent revival</a> of the meme stock movement.&nbsp;

"Krispy Kreme seems to be the latest addition to the frenzy," Daniela Sabin Hathorn, senior market analyst at Capital.com, wrote in a note released Wednesday.&nbsp;
"Like the others, there was no significant news to justify the rally — just sheer retail momentum," she added. "The move underscores how meme-stock dynamics remain alive and well, driven more by investor enthusiasm and positioning than corporate performance."
Sabin Hathorn pointed to several contributors to renewed interest in so-called meme stocks.&nbsp;
"First, retail trading forums and social platforms have once again become engines of crowd momentum," she wrote. "Second, these stocks are all heavily shorted, setting the stage for violent short squeezes when buying pressure ramps up."
All of the stocks involved in the most recent meme stock rally have significantly high short interest.&nbsp;
According to data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>, short interest makes up 32% of Krispy Kreme's public float. For comparison, Opendoor's short interest sits at 21%, and Kohl's is even higher at 47%. The original meme-stock, GameStop Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>), has a short interest of 18.9% of its float.
Sabin Hathorn warned about the risks that accompany meme stock movements, but she left the door open for what could lie ahead.&nbsp;
"Whether this is the start of a sustained retail-driven rally or just another brief flare-up remains to be seen. Either way, it's a powerful reminder that market psychology and crowd behavior can sometimes matter more than the numbers," the analyst wrote.&nbsp;

Krispy Kreme Enters Meme Stock Frenzy With Hot Glazed Hype

Shares of doughnut behemoth Krispy Kreme Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DNUT#NASDAQ">DNUT</a>) surged 38.49% to $5.72 in Wednesday pre-market trading. The surge in the company's stock price, despite no major news, points to a renewed wave of meme stock trading.
What Happened: Krispy Kreme&#8217;s stock closed at $4.13 on Tuesday and further ascended by 24.69% in after-hours trading. The stock&#8217;s sudden rise appears to be driven by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46561494/krispy-kreme-stock-spikes-as-meme-mania-short-squeeze-frenzy-returns">retail investors</a>, with the company gaining increased attention on various social media platforms.
Interestingly, Krispy Kreme and Crocs Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CROX#NASDAQ">CROX</a>) teased a mysterious collaboration with an Instagram reel showing a Croc on a donut conveyor belt, <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/stephaniegravalese/2025/07/22/crocs-with-sprinkles-krispy-kreme-teases-a-collab-fans-didnt-see-coming/">reported</a> Forbes. 
The video, labeled "Spicy Content,&#8221; and a caption "We're cooking up something that fits just right. Where comfort meets crave." The reel ends with minimal details but plenty of buzz. Both brands shared the cryptic clip, leaving fans curious.

Why It Matters: The spotlight on heavily shorted stocks has intensified recently, following a surge in Opendoor Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OPEN#NASDAQ">OPEN</a>). This has reignited interest in meme stocks, with original meme stocks like GameStop (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>) and AMC Entertainment (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMC#NYSE">AMC</a>) also experiencing increased activity.
The stock saw an exceptionally high trading volume, with over 37 million shares changing hands—far above the 100-day average of around 4.68 million. This heightened activity is likely driven by elevated short interest, as 26.35% of the float is currently sold short, making it an attractive play for momentum traders.
In June, Krispy Kreme ended its partnership with&nbsp;McDonald&#8217;s Corp.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCD#NYSE">MCD</a>). The termination of this partnership was due to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/46088580/mcdonalds-and-krispy-kreme-to-end-partnership-in-july-doughnut-company-ceo-says-efforts-to-bring-costs-down-with-unit-demand-were-unsuccessful">concerns about profitability</a>.

Krispy Kreme Stock Surges Over 38% In Wednesday Pre-Market: What's Going On?

GoPro Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GPRO#NASDAQ">GPRO</a>) witnessed a surge in its stock value during after-hours trading on Tuesday. The stock value increased by 59.85% to $2.19, continuing the momentum from the regular trading session. Here's all <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/GPRO">you need to know</a>.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/GPRO">GPRO how stock is trading here</a>.&nbsp;
What Happened: GoPro&#8217;s stock closed at $1.37 during the regular trading session on Tuesday, but experienced an increase during <a href="https://www.google.com/finance/quote/GPRO:NASDAQ">after-hours trading</a>, reaching $2.19, marking a 59.85% increase.  This sharp increase comes amid a renewed interest in meme stocks, with retail investors driving up the prices of companies like GoPro, reminiscent of the earlier rallies seen with GameStop Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>) and AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMC#NYSE">AMC</a>).

GoPro&#8217;s stock value has been fluctuating in recent times. The California-based technology company recently won an initial ruling against Insta360 for patent infringement.&nbsp;
GoPro's founder and CEO, Nicholas Woodman, stated in this case, "We will not sit idle while we believe others unjustly take advantage of our hard work, investment and innovation."
Why It Matters: GoPro&#8217;s recent stock value surge is indicative of the impact of legal rulings and financial performance on investor sentiment. The company&#8217;s ability to secure <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/07/46362676/gopro-wins-initial-itc-ruling-against-insta360-for-hero-design-hypersmooth-patent-infringement-final">favorable legal outcomes</a> and exceed financial expectations. The increase in stock of the company demonstrates the importance of these factors in the stock market.
GoPro&#8217;s stock value has also been influenced by its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45361343/gopro-sees-q2-adj-eps-0-11-0-03-vs-0-12-est-sees-sales-135-000m-155-000m-vs-124-65m-est">financial performance</a>. In May, the company announced that it expected its second quarter adjusted earnings per share to be between $(0.11) and $(0.03), compared to the estimated $(0.12). The company also projected its sales to be between $135M and $155M, surpassing the estimated $124.65M. These positive financial projections have likely contributed to the recent surge in stock value.
Price Action: GPRO stock closed up at 41.03% at $1.37 during <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/GPRO">regular trading hours</a> on July 22.
Benzinga&#8217;s Edge Stock Rankings indicate GoPro has a Value score of 37.74. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-3/#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Here is how</a> it compares with other stocks fueled by retail investor hype, high short interest, and social media buzz—such as Redfin (RDFN) and Opendoor Technologies (OPEN), which have seen frenzied trading.

GoPro's Stock Soars 60% After Hours: Here's What's Going On

Krispy Kreme Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DNUT#NASDAQ">DNUT</a>) shares are soaring in after-hours Tuesday, continuing momentum from the regular session. Here&#8217;s a look at what you <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/DNUT/short-interest">need to know</a>.
What To Know: Shares of doughnut maker Krispy Kreme closed Tuesday up 26.69% and are up another 24.69% in after-hours despite a lack of company-specific news.
The stock is seeing increased attention across various social platforms on Tuesday, which suggests the momentum may be retail-driven. Krispy Kreme shares also surged on unusually high volume Tuesday with more than 37 million shares traded versus the stock&#8217;s 100-day average of approximately 4.68 million, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.
The increased volatility in shares is likely being driven by high short interest. 26.35% of the float is currently sold short, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a> data, which makes it a target for momentum traders. Several heavily shorted stocks have seen increased attention in recent sessions after Opendoor Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OPEN#NASDAQ">OPEN</a>) appeared to spur a resurgence of meme stock traders.
Opendoor&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/25/07/46522335/opendoor-stock-frenzy-continues-is-40-per-share-the-next-stop">recent surge</a> sparked some frenzied buying in related names like Offered Solutions and Rocket Companies. Original meme stocks GameStop and AMC Entertainment have also perked up in recent days. 
Stocks with high short interest have seen several short-lived periods of increased attention since traders across&nbsp;Reddit‘s r/WallStreetBets ignited a massive short squeeze in&nbsp;GameStop and AMC in early 2021.
Other heavily shorted names that recently gained momentum include Kohl&#8217;s Corporation, Beyond Meat and Newegg Commerce, among others. 
DNUT Price Action: Krispy Kreme shares were up 24.69% in after-hours, trading at $5.15 at the time of publication on Tuesday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.
Krispy Kreme has exhibited strong price momentum and is trading significantly above its 50-day moving average of $2.99 and 100-day moving average of $3.98. The stock&#8217;s current price in after-hours is approaching the 200-day moving average of $7.05, indicating potential resistance ahead. Support may be found near the recent low of $3.26, according to Benzinga data.

Krispy Kreme Stock Spikes As Meme Mania, Short Squeeze Frenzy Returns

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" src="https://thearorareport.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/2025-07-22_07h59_49.png" alt="" /></figure>
To gain an edge, this is what you need to know today.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Caution For The Stock Market</h4>
Please <a href="https://thearorareport.com/stock-market-chart-analysis-pump-and-dumb-caution-open-mc-07222025">click here</a> for a chart of Opendoor Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OPEN#NASDAQ">OPEN</a>).&nbsp;
Note the following:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>This article is about the big picture, not an individual stock.&nbsp; The chart of OPEN stock is being used to illustrate the point.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
<li>The chart shows an aggressive move up in OPEN stock.</li>
<li>The move up was not due to a fundamental development or hard news, but due to aggressive pumping in the media.</li>
<li>OPEN operates a digital platform for residential real estate transactions.&nbsp; Nothing changed in its business as the stock made the massive move up.</li>
<li>The volume was massive, and it has been increasing rapidly.&nbsp; Yesterday, the volume was 1.82B shares; as a reference, the average volume is 137,000 shares.&nbsp; More importantly, the float is only 655.06M shares.&nbsp; Typically, only a very small fraction of the float trades every day.&nbsp; In the case of OPEN, the trading volume was about three times the float.</li>
<li>The chart shows that in the afternoon, the stock quickly lost about half of its value before recovering.  The reason for the drop appears to be a large seller quickly dumping the shares.  The VUD indicator shows the net supply of stock at the time of the dump.  VUD indicator is our powerful proprietary indicator that measures net supply and net demand in real time.  Green on the chart indicates net demand, and orange on the chart indicates net supply. </li>
<li>The momo crowd&#8217;s primary reason to buy a stock is that the stock is running up.&nbsp; The momo crowd's analysis is often limited to acting on pumps in the media.</li>
<li>In our analysis, what has changed over the last week is that the momo crowd has become more reckless than ever, and pumpers have become more aggressive.  OPEN is just one of the many examples.  The increasingly reckless behavior of the momo crowd has triggered a yellow flag.  This is not a precise timing signal but historically precedes a pullback.</li>
<li>Other cracks are beginning to appear.&nbsp; The $500B Stargate project for AI, highly publicized by President Trump, is having difficulties getting off the ground.</li>
<li>Treasury Secretary Bessent wants to review the "entire Federal Reserve Institution."</li>
<li>Fed Chair Powell will be speaking today, and investors are awaiting clues about the policy and if he talks about his future.&nbsp;</li>
<li>The momo crowd has been aggressively buying stocks, ignoring tariffs. Now, tariffs are beginning to show up in earnings.  General Motors Co.&#8217;s (GM) profits were impacted as the tariffs cost General Motors $1.1B.  For 2025, GM expects the impact of tariffs to be $4-5B.  As is the pattern, the momo crowd will continue to remain oblivious to the hard data, but how long will non-momo investors ignore the hard data?</li>
</ul>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Magnificent Seven Money Flows</h4>
In the early trade, money flows are positive in Apple Inc (AAPL), Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN), Alphabet Inc Class C (GOOG), Meta Platforms Inc (META), and Tesla Inc (TSLA).
In the early trade, money flows are neutral in Microsoft Corp (MSFT).
In the early trade, money flows are negative in NVIDIA Corp (NVDA).
In the early trade, money flows are neutral in SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) and Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 (QQQ).
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Momo Crowd And Smart Money In Stocks</h4>
Investors can gain an edge by knowing money flows in SPY and QQQ.  Investors can get a bigger edge by knowing when smart money is buying stocks, gold, and oil.  The most popular ETF for gold is SPDR Gold Trust (GLD).  The most popular ETF for silver is iShares Silver Trust (SLV).  The most popular ETF for oil is United States Oil ETF (USO).
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Bitcoin</h4>
Previously, JPMorgan (JPM) had called bitcoin Bitcoin a fraud.  Now, JPMorgan is looking at lending against cryptos.  The perception of cryptos has quickly changed.     
Bitcoin is range bound.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Arora Protection Band And What To Do Now</h4>
It is important for investors to look ahead and not in the rearview mirror.  Our proprietary Protection Band puts all of the data, all of the indicators, all of the news, all of the crosscurrents, all of the models, and all of the analysis in an analytical framework that is easily actionable by investors. 
Consider continuing to hold good, very long term, existing positions. Based on individual risk preference, consider a protection band consisting of cash or Treasury bills or short-term tactical trades as well as short to medium term hedges and short term hedges. This is a good way to protect yourself and participate in the upside at the same time.
You can determine your protection bands by adding cash to hedges.&nbsp; The high band of the protection is appropriate for those who are older or conservative. The low band of the protection is appropriate for those who are younger or aggressive.&nbsp; If you do not hedge, the total cash level should be more than stated above but significantly less than cash plus hedges.
A protection band of 0% would be very bullish and would indicate full investment with 0% in cash.&nbsp; A protection band of 100% would be very bearish and would indicate a need for aggressive protection with cash and hedges or aggressive short selling.
It is worth reminding that you cannot take advantage of new upcoming opportunities if you are not holding enough cash.&nbsp; When adjusting hedge levels, consider adjusting partial stop quantities for stock positions (non ETF); consider using wider stops on remaining quantities and also allowing more room for high beta stocks.&nbsp; High beta stocks are the ones that move more than the market.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Traditional 60/40 Portfolio</h4>
Probability based risk reward adjusted for inflation does not favor long duration strategic bond allocation at this time.
Those who want to stick to traditional 60% allocation to stocks and 40% to bonds may consider focusing on only high quality bonds and bonds of five year duration or less.&nbsp; Those willing to bring sophistication to their investing may consider using bond ETFs as tactical positions and not strategic positions at this time.

Momo Crowd Behavior Triggers A Yellow Flag For Stock Market, Tariffs Cost GM $1.1B

The Opendoor Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OPEN#NASDAQ">OPEN</a>) rollercoaster continued on Tuesday, with the stock climbing in early trading after a breathtaking drop on Monday afternoon. Eric Jackson, the hedge fund manager who ignited the rally, shared his playbook for profiting<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/25/07/46522335/opendoor-stock-frenzy-continues-is-40-per-share-the-next-stop"> from the volatility. </a>
The Details: Jackson <a href="https://x.com/APompliano/status/1947361180563251517">appeared on</a> "From the Desk Of Anthony Pompliano" and spoke about Opendoor's feverish rally and retail investor momentum.&nbsp;&nbsp;
He credited retail traders with spotting trends and described them as shifting toward new, high-potential names that have more room to run than the "Mag Seven" tech giants.&nbsp;

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Opendoor &#8216;Meme Stock&#8217; Thesis</h3>
Jackson's conviction centers on Opendoor's position as<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46494873/heres-whats-going-on-with-opendoor-stock-and-why-it-could-be-a-100-bagger"> the last major </a>iBuyer in the U.S. after competitors like Zillow and Redfin exited the home-flipping market. He believes Opendoor's platform and national scale put it in a unique spot to capture market share when real estate conditions improve. 
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">There is a chance Opendoor may be the next meme stock. I spoke with <a href="https://twitter.com/ericjackson?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@ericjackson</a> about the stock, his thesis, and why he thinks it is going to $82 per share.<a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%24OPEN&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">$OPEN</a> <a href="https://t.co/BF3FrUtPIl">pic.twitter.com/BF3FrUtPIl</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
He projects that if Opendoor can achieve steady profitability, investors may rerate it to a much higher valuation multiple, potentially making the stock worth $82—a roughly 100x increase from when it traded under $1.&nbsp;
Jackson could be onto something, given how Opendoor stock is up 500% over the past month.&nbsp;&nbsp;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Eric Jackson's OPEN Trading Strategy</h3>
The hedge fund manager disclosed that most of his position in OPEN was purchased at very low price levels. He advised retail investors to buy core positions and "sit on your hands" for the long haul if the fundamental thesis persists.&nbsp;
Jackson also said with a longer timeframe.&nbsp;
He cautioned against selling too soon and overtrading a stock–both mistakes Jackson admitted to making in the past.&nbsp;
Bottom line: Jackson advised retail investors to seek a unique edge and to trust research and the power of rare, asymmetric opportunities like Opendoor. 
OPEN Stock Price: Shares of Opendoor Technologies were up 2.96% at $3.30 on Tuesday, according to data from<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw"> Benzinga Pro</a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Opendoor Technologies Shares Resume Trade

Opendoor Technologies Shares Halted On Circuit Breaker To The Upside, Stock Now Up 14.6%

Opendoor Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OPEN#NASDAQ">OPEN</a>) shares are off to another strong start in early trading Tuesday as retail traders continue to bid up the name. Here&#8217;s everything you <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/07/46536041/opendoor-rallies-8-10-in-after-hours-trading-why-is-the-stock-trending-tonight">need to know</a>.
What To Know: Opendoor technologies closed Monday up 42.7%, adding to gains of more than 480% over the past month. The stock gained significant attention from retail traders last week after hedge fund manager Eric Jackson <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46494873/heres-whats-going-on-with-opendoor-stock-and-why-it-could-be-a-100-bagger">touted the stock</a> as a potential &#8220;100-bagger&#8221; over the next few years. 
Jackson suggested that the stock had become mispriced as investor sentiment soured in response to supply and demand imbalances in the housing market. He <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/25/07/46522335/opendoor-stock-frenzy-continues-is-40-per-share-the-next-stop">indicated</a> in a post over the weekend that Opendoor shares should be trading at $40 right now. 
Opendoor&#8217;s high short interest made it a popular target for retail traders and the stock has become the latest &#8220;meme stock.&#8221; The latest short interest <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/OPEN/short-interest">data</a> from Benzinga shows that 21.57% of the float is sold short, down from 24.3% about two weeks earlier. Short covering is likely playing a role in driving some of the outsized gains in shares in recent weeks. 
The strong momentum driving big gains in the stock has also sparked some frenzied buying in related names like Offerpad Solutions Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OPAD#NYSE">OPAD</a>) and Rocket Companies Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RKT#NYSE">RKT</a>), which are also heavily shorted, per <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>. 
Original meme stocks GameStop Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>) and AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMC#NYSE">AMC</a>) even started to see some increased attention on Monday as traders discussed the names as potential short squeeze opportunities across social platforms. Notably, Kohl&#8217;s Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KSS#NYSE">KSS</a>) shares were up about 75% on Tuesday following a surge in mentions on socials.
Several of the aforementioned names are seeing increased mentions across various social platforms and have been trading on above-average volume in recent sessions. The retail crowd has had a habit of targeting heavily shorted stocks ever since traders across&nbsp;Reddit&#8216;s r/WallStreetBets sparked a massive short squeeze in&nbsp;GameStop and AMC in early 2021. 
Arguably the most famed trader from that retail movement is Keith Gill,&nbsp;also&nbsp;known as&nbsp;&#8220;Roaring Kitty.&#8221; GameStop and other meme stocks tend to experience increased trading volume whenever Gill is active on social media. His <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43164792/whats-going-on-with-gamestop-stock-thursday">latest post</a> on social platform X was exactly six months ago. 
Gill went quiet on social platforms for three years after playing a leading role in the historic 2021 meme stock craze. He returned to social media last summer, made several cryptic posts on X, shared position updates on Reddit and even held a livestream during market hours on his YouTube channel. Several meme stocks saw short-lived price increases during that time. 
Opendoor Technologies shares were up 22.9% at $3.94 at the time of publication Tuesday, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>. Offered shares were up about 19% and Rocket Companies shares were up about 3% at last check. GameStop and AMC were not moving much, but both stocks were seeing an uptick in trading volume at the time of writing.

Meme Stock Traders Pounce On Familiar Targets As Opendoor Technologies Stock Continues To Rip

U.S. stock futures were fluctuating on Tuesday after ending on a mixed note on Monday. Futures of major benchmark indices were mixed.
Even as indices were mixed on Monday, the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq marked fresh records. Despite Aug. 1 as the &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/07/46512424/howard-lutnick-says-trumps-august-1-tariff-hard-deadline-is-final-smaller-nations-face-10-base-rate">hard deadline</a>&#8221; for tariffs, U.S. trade deals are pending with several countries; however, the administration is willing to negotiate even after that date.
Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.39% and the two-year bond was at 3.86%. The CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a>&#8216;s projections show markets pricing a 97.4% likelihood of the Federal Reserve keeping the current interest rates unchanged in its July meeting.

Cues From Last Session:
On Monday, communication services, materials, and consumer discretionary sectors recorded the biggest gains, contributing to U.S. stocks settling mostly higher.
Conversely, energy and health care stocks closed lower, bucking the overall market trend.
This broadly positive performance was driven by strong corporate earnings, reinforcing investor confidence despite lingering trade tensions.

Insights From Analysts:
Ryan Detrick from Carson Research highlighted in an X post that the S&amp;P 500 index broke a rare streak of closing above the 20-day moving average for 60 days in a row. This was its longest run since 1998.
He underscored that going back 50 years, this has happened four other times, and the index has been up a year later between 20% and 26% and never lower after three months of such an instance.

Meanwhile, economist Jeremy Siegel stated in his weekly commentary that Jerome Powell's continued presence at the Fed poses more downside risk than upside benefit.
"By stepping down voluntarily, Powell could preserve the Fed's credibility, disarm political hostility, and force Trump to fully ‘own' the economic outcome, whether good or bad," he said.
"If the economy weakens, it will be Trump's Fed Chair in place—there's no one else to blame. If the economy holds steady or improves, little would change in terms of perception, and the Fed's independence would remain intact," he added.
He explained that this is not a decision based on principle alone, but on expected value—the probabilities and outcomes suggest resignation strengthens the Fed's position over time.
Siegel adds, "Some will argue that resignation under political pressure would undermine the central bank's autonomy. I believe the opposite. A graceful, voluntary exit now could shield the institution from greater political intervention later."
