SoFi (SOFI), a fintech, is in the early phases of an uptrend. The stock traded as low as $6.75 on June 4, 2024, and as high as $7.37 on June 12.

When Pfizer (PFE) failed to break out above $30.00, selling pressure mounted. The drug manufacturing giant reported its Duchenne muscular dystrophy gene therapy failed in phase 3 trials. Pfizer’s research and development unit suffers from poor productivity. It has plenty of drugs in the pipeline, yet few of them succeed. When drugs do not make it to market, Pfizer cannot replenish its sources of revenue.
