Watching Western Digital, Seagate Technology; Shares See Volume To The Downside, Western Digital Currently Presenting At The Barclays 22nd Annual Global Technology Conference

Renowned crypto analyst&nbsp;Michaël van de Poppe&nbsp;has predicted a significant rally for a top altcoin, alongside Bitcoin&#8217;s (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) potential historic surge. This forecast comes as the cryptocurrency market shows signs of a shift from Bitcoin dominance <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/11/42237636/bitcoin-ethereum-dogecoin-simmer-down-on-thanksgiving-analyst-sees-significant-shift-from-btc-season-to-alt-season">to an altcoin season</a>.
What Happened: Van de Poppe anticipates a substantial breakout for&nbsp;Stacks (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/stx/usd">STX</a>), a top-50 altcoin. He suggests that STX,&nbsp;the native token of the&nbsp;Bitcoin layer-2 project, could rally by 70% as it nears a critical resistance level.

Currently, STX is trading at $2.29, marking a 20% increase over the past week, with the potential to exceed its all-time high of $3.86 set in April.
Moreover, van de Poppe predicts that&nbsp;Bitcoin could reach a six-figure milestone if it breaks the $98,000 resistance on the four-hour chart. Bitcoin is currently trading at $96,995,&nbsp;up 1.3% in the last&nbsp;24 hours.

Additionally, van de Poppe is optimistic about&nbsp;VeChain (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/vet/usd">VET</a>), highlighting its recent announcement of VeBetterDAO, an ecosystem rewarding sustainable actions.

Crypto Analyst Says This Altcoin Is Primed For A 70% Rally, Notes Bitcoin Could Cross $100K If This Happens

Seagate Tech Hldgs's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STX#NYSE">STX</a>) short percent of float has risen 6.03% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 11.61 million shares sold short, which is 7.03% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 4.06 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Seagate Tech Hldgs has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Seagate Tech Hldgs's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Seagate Tech Hldgs's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 6.64%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.

Top 3 Tech Stocks You'll Regret Missing In Q4

Wall Street is on track for its third consecutive day of losses as investors grow cautious about risky assets, awaiting more clarity on U.S. fiscal and monetary policies and scrutinizing the latest <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">batch of corporate earnings.</a>
Both equities and commodities took a hit on Wednesday, while the U.S. dollar gained strength, attracting investor flows as traders moved to safer cash positions.
The U.S. dollar index, as tracked by the the&nbsp;Invesco DB USD Index Bullish Fund ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UUP#NYSE">UUP</a>), rose 0.5%, reaching levels last seen in late July. 
At midday in New York, the S&amp;P 500 was down 0.7%, attempting to hold support around the 5,800-point level. The Dow Jones also dropped 0.7%, and tech stocks, along with small caps, fared worse, sliding by 0.9%.
On the data front, mortgage applications declined for the fourth straight week, reflecting continued pressure <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/10/41488744/mortgage-applications-fall-for-fourth-straight-week-as-high-rates-squeeze-homebuy">from elevated borrowing costs.</a>
Existing home sales fell by 1% in September to a seasonally adjusted annualized rate of 3.84 million, the lowest level since October 2010. This follows an upwardly revised 3.88 million in August and missed forecasts of 3.9 million.
Despite weak housing data, real estate stocks showed surprising resilience. The Vanguard Real Estate ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VNQ#NYSE">VNQ</a>) and the SPDR Homebuilders ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XHB#NYSE">XHB</a>) moved higher after two straight sessions of losses.
Gold prices, as tracked by the SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>), fell more than 1%, pulling mining stocks down with it. Silver plummeted over 3%, retreating from 12-year highs reached on Tuesday.
Oil prices slipped by 1%, while Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) tumbled 2%.
