Dogecoin Set For 'Parabolic Bull Run' In November, Says Analyst: 'Keep An Eye Out For A Sustained Close' Above This Level
A prominent crypto analyst has forecasted a potential surge for Dogecoin DOGE/USD in November, sparking interest among traders and investors.
What Happened: Popular crypto analyst Ali Martinez has shared insights suggesting that Dogecoin might experience a significant upward trend this month. In a recent strategy session with his 76,400 followers on X, Martinez highlighted historical patterns indicating a potential rally for the meme coin.
Martinez notes that November often brings substantial growth for Dogecoin.
“History hints that November could spark a parabolic bull run for #Dogecoin $DOGE! Keep an eye out for a sustained close above $0.20.”
Dogecoin is trading at approximately $0.161, having gained over 0.8% in the last 24 hours. It has surged over 20% over the past week.

In addition to Dogecoin, Martinez is optimistic about other large-cap altcoins, including Polkadot DOT/USD. He suggests that DOT could surpass $6.00 by year-end, with its current trading price at $3.92.
Martinez also mentions that the Solana (SOL)–based memecoin Dogwifhat WIF/USD is gearing up for a bullish move to $3, currently trading at $2.21.
Why It Matters: The recent dip in Dogecoin’s price has led traders to identify critical support zones for potential rebounds.
A “cup and handle” formation on Dogecoin’s daily chart, starting in June, suggests bullish potential. The $0.15 support zone is crucial, with a possible bounce propelling DOGE to $0.22.
Moreover, the cryptocurrency industry is anticipating a favorable regulatory environment following the U.S. presidential elections. Industry leaders are hopeful for supportive policies from Washington, regardless of the election outcome. This optimism could further influence the crypto market, including Dogecoin’s performance.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Dogecoin was up 0.2% over the last 24 hours, trading at $0.161, according to Benzinga Pro data.

Other Financial Highlights:
- Total assets increased $39.6 million, or 4.2%, to $978.9 million at September 30, 2024 from $939.3 million at December 31, 2023, due to an increase in securities, offset by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents and loans.
- Cash and cash equivalents decreased $3.9 million, or 15.8%, to $21.0 million at September 30, 2024 from $24.9 million at December 31, 2023 as excess funds were used to purchase securities.

The average cost of deposits increased 128 basis points to 3.95% for the first three quarters of 2024 from 2.67% for the first nine months of 2023 due to higher interest rates and a larger percentage of deposits consisting of higher-costing certificates of deposit.

This will allow us to attract new customers in our competitive environment.”
“The Bank completed its third stock repurchase program earlier this year and promptly began its fourth buyback. We remain diligent in our efforts to show confidence and deliver value to our shareholders.”
Income Statement Analysis
Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023
Net income decreased by $338,000 to a net loss of $367,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from a net loss of $29,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $560,000 in net interest income, partially offset by a decrease of $171,000 in salaries and employee benefit costs, an increase of $128,000 in income tax benefit and a $38,000 increase in non-interest income.
Interest income increased $1.3 million, or 14.3%, from $9.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 to $10.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 primarily due to higher yields on interest-earning assets and an increase in the average balance of securities.
Interest income on cash and cash equivalents decreased $30,000, or 17.9%, to $138,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from $168,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 due to a $2.6 million decrease in the average balance to $10.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from $12.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, reflecting the use of excess cash to purchase securities. The decrease was offset by an 18 basis point increase in the average yield from 5.21% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 to 5.39% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 due to the higher interest rate environment.
Interest income on loans increased $401,000, or 5.0%, to $8.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $8.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 due primarily to a 24 basis point increase in the average yield from 4.45% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 to 4.69% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and to a lesser extent, a $876,000 increase in the average balance to $711.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from $710.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023.
Interest income on securities increased $889,000, or 88.2%, to $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 primarily due to a $48.7 million increase in the average balance to $187.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from $138.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, and a 114 basis point increase in the average yield from 2.91% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 to 4.05% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 due to the higher interest rate environment.
Interest expense increased $1.9 million, or 31.1%, from $6.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 to $8.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 due to higher costs and average balances on certificates of deposit and borrowings.
Interest expense on interest-bearing deposits increased $1.3 million, or 27.0%, to $6.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from $4.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was due to a 93 basis point increase in the average cost of deposits to 4.04% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from 3.11% for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in the average cost of deposits was due to the higher interest rate environment and a change in the composition of the deposit portfolio. The average balances of certificates of deposit decreased $831,000 to $497.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from $498.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 while the average balance of NOW/money market accounts and savings accounts decreased $9.0 million and $2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023.
Interest expense on Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased $582,000, or 47.7%, from $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 to $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the average balance of $71.6 million to $196.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from $125.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was slightly offset by a decrease in the average cost of borrowings of 22 basis points to 3.64% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from 3.86% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 due to new borrowings being at lower rates. At September 30, 2024, cash flow hedges used to manage interest rate risk had a notional value of $65.0 million, while fair value hedges totaled $60.0 million in notional value. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the use of the cash flow and fair value hedges reduced the interest expense on the Federal Home Loan Bank advances and certificates of deposit by $498,000.
Net interest income decreased $560,000, or 17.4%, to $2.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from $3.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease reflected a 35 basis point decrease in our net interest rate spread to 0.66% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from 1.01% for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Our net interest margin decreased 32 basis points to 1.15% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from 1.47% for the three months ended September 30, 2023.
We did not record a provision for credit losses for the three months ended September 30, 2024 or September 30, 2023 due to moderate loan growth and improved economic conditions.
Non-interest income increased by $38,000, or 13.0%, to $327,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from $290,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Bank-owned life insurance income increased $23,000, or 11.6%, due to higher balances during 2024 and gain on sale of loans increased $12,000 compared to no gain on sale of loans for the comparable period last year due to the sale of a $400,000 residential loan in 2024.
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, non-interest expense decreased $56,000, or 1.5%, over the comparable 2023 period. This was due to a $171,000, or 7.5% reduction in salaries and employee benefits, which decreased due to lower headcount and increased expenses in 2023 related to the retirement of the previous Chief Executive Officer, and a $40,000, or 31.9%, decrease in advertising expenses. Our FDIC insurance assessment also decreased by $26,000, or 19.8%. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in professional fees of $99,000, or 66.4%, due to higher consulting expense related to strategic business planning. Data processing expense also increased $100,000, or 48.8%, due to higher processing costs.
Income tax expense decreased $128,000, or 102.1%, to a benefit of $253,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from a $125,000 benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was due to a reduction of $466,000 in taxable income.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023
Net income decreased by $3.1 million, or 168.1%, to a net loss of $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from net income of $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $4.0 million in net interest income, partially offset by a decrease of $1.2 million in income tax expense.
Interest income increased $3.4 million, or 12.4%, from $27.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to $31.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 due to higher yields on interest-earning assets and an increase in the average balance of securities, partially offset by a decrease in the average balance of loans and cash and cash equivalents.
Interest income on cash and cash equivalents decreased $8,000, or 1.9%, to $415,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from $423,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 due a $2.3 million decrease in the average balance to $9.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from $11.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, reflecting the decrease of liquidity due to increased securities purchases. This decrease was offset by a 111 basis point increase in the average yield due to the higher interest rate environment.
Interest income on loans increased $1.1 million, or 4.5%, to $24.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $23.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 due primarily to a 20 basis point increase in the average yield from 4.46% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to 4.66% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, offset by a $1.9 million decrease in the average balance to $711.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from $713.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Interest income on securities increased $2.2 million, or 69.4%, to $5.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from $3.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 primarily due to a 112 basis point increase in the average yield from 2.80% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to 3.92% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and a $31.0 million increase in the average balance to $179.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from $148.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Income from other interest-earning assets, which primarily consisted of Federal Home Loan Bank stock, increased $209,000, or 27.1% to $981,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from $772,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 due to dividends paid on such stock.
Interest expense increased $7.4 million, or 47.4%, from $15.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to $23.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 due to higher costs and average balances on certificates of deposit and borrowings.
Interest expense on interest-bearing deposits increased $5.6 million, or 43.9%, to $18.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from $12.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was due to a 128 basis point increase in the average cost of deposits to 3.95% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from 2.67% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in the average cost of deposits was due to the higher interest rate environment and a change in the composition of the deposit portfolio. The average balances of certificates of deposit increased $12.0 million to $510.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from $498.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 while average NOW/money market accounts and savings accounts decreased $24.2 million and $5.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Interest expense on Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased $1.8 million, or 62.7%, from $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to $4.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the average balance of $60.7 million to $171.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from $110.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was also due to an increase in the average cost of borrowings of 17 basis points to 3.67% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from 3.50% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 due to new borrowings being at higher rates. At September 30, 2024, cash flow hedges used to manage interest rate risk had a notional value of $65.0 million, while fair value hedges totaled $60.0 million in notional value. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the use of the cash flow hedges reduced the interest expense on the Federal Home Loan Bank advances and certificates of deposit by $1.2 million.
Net interest income decreased $4.0 million, or 33.1%, to $8.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from $12.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease reflected a 73 basis point decrease in our net interest rate spread to 0.68% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from 1.41% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Our net interest margin decreased 64 basis points to 1.18% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from 1.82% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
We recorded a $70,000 provision for credit losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to a $125,000 recovery for credit losses for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, which was due to a decrease in loan balances in 2023. The entire provision in the first three quarters of 2024 was due to an increase in held-to-maturity corporate securities.
Non-interest income increased by $73,000, or 8.5%, to $929,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from $856,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to bank-owned life insurance income, which increased $74,000, or 12.9%, due to higher balances during 2024.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, non-interest expense increased $163,000, or 1.5%, over the comparable 2023 period. Professional fees increased $270,000, or 65.5% due to higher consulting expense related to strategic business planning. Data processing expense increased $210,000, or 29.3%, due to higher processing costs. These were offset by a $333,000, or 4.9%, reduction in salaries and employee benefit, which decreased due to lower headcount and increased expenses in 2023 related to the retirement of the previous Chief Executive Officer.
Income tax expense decreased $1.2 million, or 312.9%, to a benefit of $821,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from a $386,000 expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was due to a reduction of $4.3 million in taxable income.
Balance Sheet Analysis
Total assets were $978.9 million at September 30, 2024, representing an increase of $39.6 million, or 4.2%, from December 31, 2023. Cash and cash equivalents decreased $3.9 million during the period primarily due to the purchase of new securities offset by loan repayments. Net loans decreased $5.8 million, or 0.8%, due to $22.5 million in repayments including a $12.6 million decrease in the balance of residential loans, as well as a $9.1 million decrease in the balance of construction loans and a decrease of $915,000 in multifamily loans. The decrease was partially offset by new production of $16.7 million, including $13.1 million and $3.6 million of commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loans, respectively. The Company also purchased a pool of residential loans totaling $10.4 million. Due to the interest rate environment, we have experienced a decrease in demand for residential and construction loans, which have been primary drivers of our loan growth in recent periods. Securities held to maturity increased $7.4 million, or 10.3%, and securities available for sale increased $40.0 million, or 57.6%, due to new purchases of mortgage-backed securities with excess cash.
Delinquent loans increased $8.9 million to $21.5 million, or 3.0% of total loans, at September 30, 2024, compared to $12.6 million, or 1.8% of total loans, at December 31, 2023. The increase was mostly due to four commercial real estate loans to three customers with a balance of $8.1 million. Three of the past due commercial real estate loans are being actively managed with the customers and are expected to be brought current, while one totaling $758,000 has been placed on nonaccrual, but is considered well-secured with a loan-to-value of 59%. During the same timeframe, non-performing assets increased from $12.8 million at December 31, 2023 to $13.8 million, which represented 1.41% of total assets at September 30, 2024. No loans were charged-off during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2024 or September 30, 2023. The Company’s allowance for credit losses related to loans was 0.39% of total loans and 19.94% of non-performing loans at September 30, 2024 compared to 0.39% of total loans and 21.81% of non-performing loans at December 31, 2023. The Bank does not have any exposure to commercial real estate loans secured by office space. At September 30, 2024, the Company’s allowance for credit losses related to held-to-maturity securities totaled $108,000 or 0.13% of the total held-to-maturity securities portfolio.
Total liabilities increased $39.8 million, or 5.0%, to $841.9 million mainly due to a $34.9 million increase in borrowings and a $3.9 million increase in total deposits. The increase in deposits reflected an increase in certificate of deposit accounts, which increased by $505,000 to $493.8 million from $493.3 million at December 31, 2023, an increase in NOW deposit accounts, which increased by $4.2 million to $45.5 million from $41.3 million at December 31, 2023, and by an increase in noninterest bearing demand accounts, which increased by $1.6 million from $30.6 million at December 31, 2023 to $32.1 million at September 30, 2024. This was offset by a $2.6 million, or 18.0%, decrease in money market accounts. At September 30, 2024, brokered deposits were $101.1 million or 16.1% of deposits and municipal deposits were $36.0 million or 5.7% of deposits. At September 30, 2024, uninsured deposits represented 10.7% of the Bank’s total deposits. Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased $34.9 million, or 20.8%, due to new borrowings, for which the durations have primarily been short-term in nature as we remain mindful of the changing interest rate environment and the potential for further interest rate cuts from the Federal Reserve. Total borrowing capacity at the Federal Home Loan Bank is $297.9 million of which $202.7 million has been advanced.
Total stockholders’ equity decreased $233,000 to $136.9 million, due to a net loss of $1.2 million and the repurchase of 163,790 shares of stock at a cost of $1.2 million, offset by a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss for securities available for sale of $1.6 million and stock compensation of $225,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. At September 30, 2024, the Company’s ratio of average stockholders’ equity-to-total assets was 15.04%, compared to 15.32% at December 31, 2023.

Nvidia Rides AI Wave To Replace Intel On Dow Jones Industrial Average, Ending Its 25-Year Run
Nvidia Corp. NVDA is poised to replace Intel Corp. INTC on the Dow Jones Industrial Average index.
What Happened: On Friday, S&P Dow Jones Indices announced that Nvidia, along with paint-maker Sherwin-Williams Co. SHW, will join the index next week.
Intel will be replaced by Nvidia on the Dow Jones Industrial Average index after a 25-year run, while Sherwin-Williams will replace Dow Inc. DOW.
This change highlights the shift in the chipmaking market and is another blow for Intel, which has seen a decline in its market position.
Intel’s shares have dropped 54% this year, making it the worst performer on the index and leaving it with the lowest stock price on the price-weighted Dow.
“Losing the status of Dow Jones inclusion would be another reputational blow for Intel, as it grapples with a painful transformation and loss of confidence,” said Susannah Streeter, head of money and markets at Hargreaves Lansdown, reported Reuters.
Subscribe to the Benzinga Tech Trends newsletter to get all the latest tech developments delivered to your inbox.
Why It Matters: Intel, once a dominant player in the chipmaking industry, has lost its manufacturing edge to rival Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. TSM and missed out on the lucrative artificial intelligence boom.
This development comes after Intel expressed optimism about its future, despite warning that it had “a lot of work to do.” Intel’s struggles were evident in its third-quarter earnings report, where it reported a loss of 46 cents per share, missing analyst estimates.
Intel’s struggles with market share and profitability have led to a cautious outlook from analysts. The company also fell short of its revenue targets for its Gaudi AI accelerator program in 2024.
On the other hand, Nvidia has emerged as a cornerstone of the global semiconductor industry, thanks to the essential role its chips play in powering generative AI technologies. The company’s shares have risen more than two-fold this year alone.

BFA Law is Investigating TKO GROUP HOLDINGS for Breaches of Fiduciary Duties after Acquisition Announcement; Current Shareholders Urged to Contact the Firm (NYSE:TKO)
NEW YORK, Nov. 02, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces an investigation into TKO Group Holdings, Inc. TKO, the board of directors, and the controlling stockholder for potential breaches of fiduciary duty.
If you are a holder of TKO Group Holdings, you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting https://www.bfalaw.com/cases-investigations/tko-group-holdings-inc.
Investigation Details:
TKO is controlled by Endeavor Group Holdings, Inc. (“Endeavor”) through its ownership of 53.6% of the total voting power of the Company’s voting stock. Endeavor has designated a majority of directors to the board of directors of TKO. As a result of its control, Endeavor can influence TKO to engage in conflicted transactions and control the outcome of TKO’s corporate actions that typically would require shareholder approval.
On October 24, 2024, TKO announced that it had entered into a transaction agreement with Endeavor Operating Company, LLC, a subsidiary of Endeavor, pursuant to which TKO agreed to acquire the Professional Bull Riders, On Location and IMG businesses from Endeavor for $3.25 billion in Company stock (the “Acquisition”). As a result of the Acquisition, Endeavor will increase its ownership stake in TKO from approximately 53% to 59%. Minority shareholders will have no say in the Acquisition, as Endeavor has approved the Acquisition by written consent without a minority vote.
BFA believes that the Acquisition is a conflicted transaction that may have resulted in the Company overpaying for Endeavor’s businesses. Specifically, upon announcement of the Acquisition, TKO’s stock price fell by more than 5% and likely would have fallen further had TKO not simultaneously announced a $2 billion stock repurchase program. Given Endeavor’s control over TKO, BFA believes TKO minority stockholders may possess valid claims for breach of fiduciary duty against the board of directors of TKO and/or Endeavor.

What Can You Do?
If you are a current holder of TKO Group Holdings stock, you may have legal options and are encouraged to submit your information to the firm.
All representation is on a contingency fee basis, there is no cost to you. Shareholders are not responsible for any court costs or expenses of litigation. The firm will seek court approval for any potential fees and expenses.
