Bitcoin (BTC) surpassed $40,000 over the weekend due to whale activity and subsequent retail investor buying, potentially moving towards the first resistance zone. The Arora Report suggests understanding whale behavior, the lack of large-scale benefits of Bitcoin, and the impact of a potential spot Bitcoin ETF on liquidity to make money in Bitcoin. In India, the BJP's recent election victories are expected to attract foreign investment, presenting opportunities better than the iShares MSCI India ETF (INDA). Spotify (SPOT) announced a 17% workforce reduction, its third round of layoffs. Early trades show negative money flows in major tech stocks (AAPL, AMZN, GOOG, META, MSFT, NVDA, TSLA) and ETFs (SPY, QQQ), with the momo crowd buying and smart money locking in stocks and gold.

UBER

Uber Technologies Inc (NYSE:UBER) stock is experiencing an increase after being added to the S&P 500 Index, replacing Sealed Air Corp. This inclusion often leads to a rise in stock price as index-tracking funds must purchase shares. Uber's recent financial performance, with $221 million in net income and earnings of 10 cents per share for the last quarter, and over $1 billion in profits over the past four quarters, met the criteria for S&P 500 inclusion. Analysts are favorable towards Uber, with 26 Buy and eight Overweight ratings and an average price target of $57.74. Uber's stock has risen over 145% since the beginning of the year and was trading up 5.58% at $60.56.

XOM

Exxon Mobil Corp's CEO Darren Woods defended the company's investment in carbon capture technology at the COP28 climate summit, rejecting the IEA's claim that it's an 'illusion' for fighting climate change. Woods compared carbon capture's potential to that of electric vehicles and solar energy, emphasizing that no current solution is sufficient to solve the climate crisis alone. Exxon plans to invest $17 billion in low-carbon initiatives, including carbon capture, and maintains that fossil fuels will remain important through 2050. This marks Woods' first attendance at a U.N.-sponsored climate summit, indicating a shift in the oil and gas industry's approach to climate change.
