A sudden single-day spike by Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) and Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/shib/usd">SHIB</a>) has prompted traders to predict an upcoming bull run for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/meme-coins">the meme coin leaders.</a>
What Happened: With Dogecoin prices reflecting a relatively flat performance over the past week, an analyst who goes by &#8220;Kevin&#8221; on X, outlined his thoughts on the trajectory of Dogecoin. He stated that the meme coin is still trying to establish a successful bullish retest of its macro falling wedge, following its typical bull market correction of 60%.
After Friday&#8217;s price jump of 5%, Kevin further <a href="https://x.com/Kev_Capital_TA/status/1844725417569145294">predicted</a> that if this retest is successful, it could be the last opportunity to purchase Dogecoin at its current prices.
As Shiba Inu prices rally higher, crypto trader Javon Marks asked the crypto community, "Are you prepared for $0.000081?" He added that Shib has broken out of a recent falling wedge pattern and a much larger (unpictured) resisting trend.
He <a href="https://x.com/JavonTM1/status/1844779511864266898">predicts</a> a more than 342% rally from here, as this falling wedge will only help to &#8220;spark the process.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Kevin's analysis suggests that Dogecoin is currently in a critical phase of its market cycle. If his prediction holds true, this could mean a significant uptick in the value of Dogecoin.
Meanwhile, Marks&#8217; prediction reflects a highly bullish run for Shiba Inu, which has already accumulated 34% over the past month. Shibburn data shows an increase of 83.4% in its burn rate over the past 24 hours as 4.6 million SHIB coins are thrown out of the ecosystem.
IntoTheBlock data shows that Doge and Shiba&#8217;s large transaction volume decreased by 23.8% and 35.5%, respectively. Daily active addresses for Dogecoin and Shiba Inu surged by 176.7% and 13.7%.
Dogecoin transactions greater than $100,000 increased from 227 to 251 in a single day, while Shiba Inu saw a marginal increase from 110 to 118. DOGE exchanges&#8217; net flows are down by 199%.

<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.

<h3>Comparing ShiftPixy'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>, ShiftPixy's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 1.42%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.

Bank of America (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>) shares are trading higher on Friday. Warren Buffet&#8217;s Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) sold more of its shares in the bank, bringing its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41294370/warren-buffett-continues-trimming-bank-of-america-position-no-longer-needs-to-report-sales">stake below 10%</a>.
The Details: According to a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing, Berkshire Hathaway sold a total of 9.5 million Bank of America shares at an average price of $40.04 per share.
Berkshire made this move via three separate sales throughout the week with 3.9 million shares sold on Tuesday, 4 million shares sold on Wednesday and 1.6 million shares sold on Thursday.
Berkshire now holds a 9.98% stake in the bank which is equivalent to 775 million shares. Now that Berkshire Hathaway&#8217;s stake in Bank of America is below 10%, the company is no longer required to promptly report these transactions to the SEC.
Berkshire has been slowly selling off its Bank of America shares for quite some time now. Back in August, the company sold shares worth than <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40471316/whats-going-on-with-bank-of-america-shares-tuesday">$550 million</a>. Berkshire also sold Bank of America Shares in September and July.
Bank of America is not the only bank to experience a selloff of its shares by Berkshire. Buffet&#8217;s Berkshire Hathaway has been unloading shares in companies across the banking industry for years. In 2022, Berkshire sold its remaining Wells Fargo shares. Furthermore, throughout 2020, Berkshire dumped its stake in JPMorgan Chase.
This could indicate that Buffet sees more value in stocks outside the banking industry. According to <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2021/02/16/investing/berkshire-hathaway-warren-buffett-stocks/index.html">CNN</a>, Berkshire bought stake in Verizon and Chevron after it sold its shares in JPMorgan Chase.
How To Buy Bank of America Stock
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Bank of America (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>)'s case, it is in the Financials sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.

Novo Nordisk A/S (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVO#NYSE">NVO</a>) and Eli Lilly And Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>) have dominated the obesity drug market with their leading therapies, Wegovy and Zepbound, but the next generation of treatments could shift this dynamic.
These new drugs, expected to hit the market by 2029, aim to surpass current efficacy levels while offering more convenient dosing options, such as oral and monthly injections. This shift, driven by innovation and competition, could change the market landscape despite Novo and Lilly&#8217;s current hold on the sector.
According to a <a target="_blank" href="https://assets.contentstack.io/v3/assets/blt4eb669caa7dc65b2/blt79266ca5d3a390c1/Obesity_Drug_Market_Report.pdf" rel="noreferrer noopener">report</a> by Morningstar, the global GLP-1 market is poised to reach $200 billion by 2031, with obesity treatment expected to account for 68% of sales.
While Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly are projected to retain two-thirds of this market, driven by first-mover advantage and robust pipelines, new competitors could claim significant market share.
Public and private biopharma firms are increasingly focusing on cardiometabolic drug development, with 16 new obesity drugs potentially launching by 2029 the report added.
This pipeline includes candidates from major players such as <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/08/40422774/roche-misses-out-on-weight-loss-blockbuster-drug-now-playing-catch-up-in-booming-market" rel="noreferrer noopener">Roche Holdings AG</a> (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RHHBY#OTC">RHHBY</a>), Pfizer Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PFE#NYSE">PFE</a>), and private companies like Boehringer Ingelheim.
Roche released topline results from the ongoing multi-part Phase 1 trial for CT-996, showing data better compared <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/07/39817857/obesity-drugs-focused-stocks-tumble-on-wednesday-whats-going-on-with-eli-lilly-novo-nordisk-vikin" rel="noreferrer noopener">to existing competitors</a>. Despite Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly&#8217;s strong market positions, some analysts view their stocks as overvalued.
Achieving the market penetration needed to justify their current valuations would require near-unprecedented success, including capturing 75% of the U.S. obesity market and 95% of the global market by 2031.
Additionally, maintaining stable pricing seems unlikely, with increased competition and innovation expected to put downward pressure on drug prices.
Supply chain issues pose further challenges. Both companies face difficulties in manufacturing peptide-based drugs at scale, such as Wegovy and Zepbound.
While oral peptide drugs like high-dose Novo Nordisk&#8217;s Rybelsus and Viking Therapeutics Inc&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VKTX#NASDAQ">VKTX</a>) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/03/37937068/viking-therapeutics-investigational-oral-obesity-drug-shows-reduced-weight-in-small-study" rel="noreferrer noopener">VK2735 offer alternatives</a>, they may be even harder to supply due to the higher doses required for efficacy.
Small molecule drugs, like Lilly&#8217;s orforglipron and Pfizer&#8217;s<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/07/39753273/with-oral-anti-obesity-candidate-development-pfizer-seeks-relevant-and-competitive-" rel="noreferrer noopener"> danuglipron</a>, offer the best potential for scalable production, promising more streamlined manufacturing processes.
New entrants to the obesity drug market are pushing the envelope, with drug candidates from companies like Amgen Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMGN#NASDAQ">AMGN</a>), Altimmune Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALT#NASDAQ">ALT</a>), and Zealand Pharma (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZLDPF#OTC">ZLDPF</a>) on the horizon.
In a phase 1 study, Amgen&#8217;s AMG 133 showed an acceptable safety and tolerability profile and pronounced <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/02/36934096/weight-loss-drugs-new-entrant-amgen-to-compete-with-novo-nordisk-eli-lilly-as-investigational-wei" rel="noreferrer noopener">dose-dependent weight loss</a>.&nbsp;
Altimmune said the body composition study of pemvidutide showed preservation of lean mass, with 25.5% of weight loss derived from lean mass and 74.5% <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/03/37958653/why-is-obesity-drug-developer-altimmune-stock-trading-lower-on-wednesday" rel="noreferrer noopener">from adipose tissue</a>.
These next-generation drugs could challenge the dominance of Novo and Lilly, especially if they offer better efficacy or fewer side effects.
However, Wegovy and Zepbound&#8217;s entrenched positions and ongoing innovation may keep Novo and Lilly at the forefront for the foreseeable future.
