Trader Notes: With Bitcoin prices hovering around $62,000 mark, Daan Crypto Trades sees this as another effort of breaking the $62,400 level. He added, "the longer it consolidates below here, the more likely a break higher will be."
However, he does not <a href="https://x.com/DaanCrypto/status/1842263963549245541">expect</a> much from Bitcoin, as it is almost weekend and the U.S. markets remain closed.
Crypto trader Jelle predicts that a chop around these prices for the weekend will lead to a push higher in the next week. He <a href="https://x.com/CryptoJelleNL/status/1842212458062045501">added</a>, "Summer lull seasonality over, Q4 bull seasonality is in." In another tweet, Jelle noted locking in a new higher low before the weekend.

CEO and Founder of Cryptoverse Benjamin Cowen pointed out that in April his prediction was a consolidation for 6-9 months after reaching its &#8220;mid-cycle top." Six months have now passed, meeting the minimum time for consolidation.
He warns that if there&#8217;s a labor market scare this quarter, Bitcoin could drop further, potentially to the 100-week SMA. This could extend the consolidation to nine months like the previous cycle. He <a href="https://x.com/intocryptoverse/status/1842250586026307923">advises</a> to hedge for both outcomes.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin End The Week With Strong Gains: 'Summer Lull Seasonality Over, Q4 Bull Seasonality Is In,' Says Trader

Hut 8 Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HUT#NASDAQ">HUT</a>) shares are trading higher Friday after the company released its September operational update. Here's a look at the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/10/g41181560/hut-8-operations-update-for-september-2024">details from the report</a>.
The Details:
Hut 8 produced 85 Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) in September, down from 87 Bitcoin in August, and increased its hashrate from 18.5 EH/s to 19.5 EH/s. The company also brought 1,000 NVIDIA H100 GPUs online and began generating revenue for its GPU-as-a-service subsidiary Highrise AI, Inc.

&#8220;We made significant strides in scaling our compute layer across Bitcoin mining and AI this month,&#8221; said Asher Genoot, CEO of Hut 8.&nbsp;
&#8220;In partnership with Bitmain, we launched a next-generation, DLC-cooled ASIC miner. We are targeting a 15 EH/s hosting deployment at our Vega site in the Texas Panhandle by H1 2025, which is expected to generate ~$135 million in annualized hosting revenue on a fully ramped basis. The agreement&#8217;s purchase option creates a clear path to 20 EH/s of self-mining capacity by allowing us to fully acquire the hosted machines for our fleet,&#8221; added Genoot.&nbsp;
What Else: Craig-Hallum analyst George Sutton maintained a Buy rating on Hut 8 stock and raised the price target from $14 to $15 on Wednesday. According to data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>, Hut 8 shares are trading above the stock&#8217;s 50-day moving average of $11.71 and have gained more than 30% over the past month.&nbsp;
HUT Price Action: According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>, Hut 8 shares are up 1.75% at $11.94 at the time of publication Friday.

Hut 8 Releases Bitcoin Mining Update: What To Know

Oncolytics Biotech shares are trading higher after the company announced key progress and upcoming studies for breast and pancreatic cancer treatments while also preparing for an accelerated FDA approval path.

Fangdd shares are trading lower after the company announced a $5 million direct offering of 3.125 million shares at $1.60 per unit.

In the current market session, Lockheed Martin Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>) stock price is at $605.14, after a 0.11% decrease. However, over the past month, the company's stock increased by 6.80%, and in the past year, by 38.63%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is overvalued, even if the company is not performing up to par in the current session. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1728069370_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>How Does Lockheed Martin P/E Compare to Other Companies?</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 85.93 in the Aerospace &amp; Defense industry, Lockheed Martin Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 21.99. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1728069370_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.
