NXTD skyrockets as Bitcoin broke the $20,000 markThe company hasn’t issued any news or press releases this morning, but the stock is up in double-digit percentages.
The run seems to be the result of the fact that Bitcoin broke the $20,000 mark.
NXTD is heavily focused on mobile security, and cryptocurrencies, which run on the blockchain, are focused on the security of financial transactions, and other contracts, in simple terms anyway.
Moreover, NXTD isn’t only active in mobile security, it’s an active player in the cryptocurrency industry, helping to make cryptocurrency more feasible with its subsidiary, FitPay.
FitPay creates contactless payment devices for Bitcoin owners. When used, these devices convert bitcoin into fiat currency, making it possible for Bitcoin owners to use their cryptocurrency in stores.
With Bitcoin breaking the $20,000 mark, demand for the cryptocurrency is at an all-time high. Moreover, cryptocurrency enthusiasts are looking for ways to bring this technology into the wider world of finance and commerce.
NXTD offers a way to do that with FitPay. So, it’s no surprise that the stock is up today.

FireEye Rally on SolarWinds HackFireEye, CrowdStrike and Other Security Stocks Rally on SolarWinds Hack
Security-software stocks were flying high Friday, as investors anticipated a pickup in spending in response to widespread damage
FireEye, U.S. Agencies Affected By Cyber Attack On Solar Winds Software
The security-software firm said a “global intrusion campaign” is making use of a tainted update to SolarWinds IT-management software.
Continue reading from the cyberattacks on SolarWinds believed to have been orchestrated by Russia.
SolarWinds (ticker: SWI) has said that close to 18,000 customers were left vulnerable in the incident that has affected a range of U.S. government agencies as well as commercial clients.
That means cybersecurity spending could be “poised to accelerate” on intrusion and containment fears
The incident was first identified last week by FireEye (FEYE), a victim of the attack. While FireEye shares initially tumbled on the news as investors worried that the hack could severely impact its business, the stock has since reversed course and rallied almost 32% on Friday. Other security software stocks are also trading higher, with substantial gains for CyberArk (CYBR), Fortinet (FTNT), Mimecast (MIME), Palo Alto Networks (PANW), Proofpoint (PFPT), Qualys (QLYS), Rapid7 (RPD), Tenable (TENB), Varonis Systems (VRNS) and Zscaler (ZS).

A stock perfect for scalpers.ZKIN is one of those very volatile stocks that are pretty easy to scalp as a break of certain levels (such as currently $2.40, $2.60..) usually leads to a volume spike, both to the upside or downside.
And these breaks happens currently often as..
..as the price of ZKIN has recently broke the weekly resistance located at $2.00 per share, which was a barrier for almost 2 years! So now the price should be in the opposite of a free fall.
I am not primarily focused on stocks, but this company also utilizes blockchain, which I found attractive and futuristic.
Here is my setup idea to buy the uptrend.
Buy at $2.20
Sell at $2.60 - 18% profit
Stop loss at $2.10 - 4,5% loss
Risk reward - 4:1
As the dips continue to attract buyers I look to buy the dip. On this price point of $2.20 are many technical support keys such as:
1.) 4-hour uptrend line
2.) 50 EMA
3.) Support level at $2.20
Thanks for your time and good luck with this idea! Let me know what you think.

Merging with a SPAC has become an increasingly popular method for closely held businesses to raise capital for growth. A potential merger with Tokopedia would also be in-line with the strategy that Bridgetown set out in its prospectus: to focus on a target in the technology, financial services or media sectors in Southeast Asia.
Tokopedia became Indonesia’s second most valuable startup, just behind ride-hailing and delivery giant Gojek, by scoring early backing from SoftBank and Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. Alphabet Inc.’s Google and Temasek Holdings Pte invested about $350 million in Tokopedia, people familiar with the matter have said. E-commerce platforms including Tokopedia, Alibaba’s Lazada Group and Shopee -- a unit of Singapore-based Sea Ltd. -- have been some of the beneficiaries of coronavirus-driven lockdowns this year as they moved quickly to serve the millions of people forced to make their first online purchases while staying home.
