NOK
USDNOK: Buy signal.USDNOK is trading inside a Channel Up for almost four months, with the 1D MA50 supporting as the medium term Support. The very healthy bullish 1D technicals (RSI = 62.188, MACD = 0.074, ADX = 41.092) indicate that the current price action will lead higher so we are buying into today's strength and aim at another +4.60% rise (TP = 11.500).

Nokia and Cybernet deploy Pakistan’s first 6G commercial networkKarachi, Pakistan – Nokia and Cybernet, the leading fixed-line telecommunications provider in Pakistan, today announced they have deployed the country’s first DWDM network operating at 600Gbps per wavelength. The DWDM network enables Cybernet to deliver a high capacity, robust network that is capable of meeting requirements of even the most demanding customers. This new optical network connects Cybernet’s main metro sites and provides the enhanced network capacity needed to support growing consumer and enterprise demand for fast, high-quality broadband services across Pakistan.
By further strengthening its global footprint through the establishment of its international points of presence (POPs) in MC-1 in Barka (Oman), MRS-2 in Marseille (France), SmartHub in Fujairah (UAE) and SG1 in Singapore, Cybernet is providing its global peering community members with its advanced IXP platform powered by the Nokia 7750 SR and 7250 IXR routers. This platform ensures optimum connection capacity to meet both current and future needs. Cybernet offers Internet, EVPN and MPLS-based services with rich Quality of Service (QoS) at its international POPs.
To better meet the rising demand for high-speed broadband access and network speeds, operators are looking to upgrade their optical networks. Committed to ensuring its customers can tap into the high-speed services it provides, Cybernet partnered with Nokia for the deployment of a future-proof optical network capable of delivering over 600Gbps per lambda. This enhances the capacity and speed of its network used to connect main metro sites within the country. Leveraging Nokia’s PSS 1830 optical transport platform, Cybernet can effectively scale its total network capacity to 28Tbs, serving broadband and enterprise customers across Pakistan.
Cybernet successfully implemented Nokia’s advanced integrated ROADM architecture based on flexgrid technology. Through this deployment, Cybernet can better optimize and extend the reach of its optical network
EURNOK One of the best long-term sellsThe EURNOK pair has topped on the long-term having made a Cycle peak on the week of May 29 2023. So far however, the 1W MA50 (blue trend-line) has (nearly) held twice as Support, but both rebounds failed to cross above the 0.618 Fibonacci level.
This price action is very similar to the previous Cycle peak of March 2020, leading to a 1W MA50 rebound that again failed to break above the 0.618 Fibonacci. The direct consequence was a Channel Down to the 1W MA200 (orange trend-line) and the -0.382 Fibonacci extension.
As a result, we will sell as long as the price is below the 0.618 Fib and target 10.9000, a projected contact with the 1W MA100 (green trend-line).

EURNOK: Ascending Broadening Wedge Potential Partial RiseWe have a potential Partial Rise at a 61.8% Retrace within an Ascending Broadening Wedge Pattern on the EURUSD with a Bearish PPO Confirmation Arrow.
If we hit the Demand Line from here, it is very likely it will break down and hit the Measured Move Target down at 7.22
USDNOK: Confirmed Bullish Butterfly at Structural Demand LineUSDNOK is sitting at the Demand Line of an Overall Bearish Ascending Broadening Wedge Pattern that happens to align with the 1.272-1.618 PCZ of a Bullish Butterfly; along with that, we have PPO Confirmation, RSI BAMM, and a MACD Bullish Crossing. Given the scenario, I can see this trying to retrace up 50-88.6% of the Harmonic Range before coming back down and confirming a partial rise, after which we will then possibly have to look for opposing Bearish signals.
NOK Nokia Oyj Options Ahead of EarningsAnalyzing the options chain of NOK Nokia Oyj prior to the earnings report this week,
I would consider purchasing the 4usd strike price Calls with
an expiration date of 2023-9-15,
for a premium of approximately $0.15.
If these options prove to be profitable prior to the earnings release, I would sell at least half of them.
Looking forward to read your opinion about it.
USDNOK Can See More Weakness As Crude Tryign To FInd A SupportCrude oil is trying to stabilize ahead of the FED today, showing some interesting intraday recovery from around $67.00 per barrel. Can be a small impulse, but I want to see a steady recovery ehre and possibly a broken resistance line to make sure that w-x-y in E of (B) is completed. Also, the global oil supply fell 660k bpd in May on OPEC+ cuts, which can help to stabilize oil price going forward. With higher crude I like NOK. Keep in mind that crude oil and USDNOK, both traded south recently, but crude trying to stabilize now. If it closes higher today, then USDNOK can see much more weakness. Current bears on USDNOK are also acting impulsively so far.

Bed Bath and Beyond - Buy the Uncanny Valley and Delete RedditOne of the first things you might ask yourself with this call is "How did a bull get stuck in a washer and dryer?"
The people who look more closely might ask "Why is this bull living out of a washer and a dryer?"
The short answer to both of these questions is that the dude listened to Reddit.
I say this in every post about memestocks, but Reddit isn't your friend. It isn't even social media. It's a social marketing and social influencing website masquerading as an organically-created and consensus-driven forum.
Moreover, the Chinese Communist Party's Tencent took a big stake in it many years ago and it spreads all the worst trash of Marxist-Leninsm.
Perhaps if Reddit had have collapsed in bankruptcy then the future would have been a lot brighter for several million young people. Too late for crying now, though.
Scrolling through Reddit is the intellectual equivalent of eating eight or nine bags of potato chips everyday and then complaining that you're fat and girls don't want to marry you.
There are two things Reddit is there for when it comes to trading. One is to condition you to feel that losing money, and a lot of it, is both normal and okay.
It's not.
If you're losing money trading, then you need to fix something, and fast, or just take your money and go buy yourself something nice with it, because you're obviously just gambling and are missing something fundamental in both your understanding and execution.
Wanting to get rich, and quick, will do that.
The second thing Reddit is there for is to indoctrinate your mind with pornography, socialism, Marxism, and atheism, and it happens all while you think you're reading the words and feelings of other people who are just like you.
But they're not just like you. They're not even people.
They're "professional" community organizers who are sitting in a cubicle referencing a flowchart pinned to its grey cushions collecting their $16 an hour and you can't figure it out because they told you that the very idea is a "conspiracy theory."
Bed Bath is this company that sucks and is going bankrupt. Don't believe it? Just go to a store and ask yourself why you're there instead of on Amazon on your phone.
That didn't stop BBBY from yielding 4 and 5 baggers if you happened to buy the bottom and sell the top (you didn't, Ken Griffin's trading desk did, though), and that's exactly the issue.
So the story with BBBY is that Hudson Bay Capital and a bunch of other Wall Street money effectively put a $1 billion blood infusion into Bed Bath. This comes in the form of some convertible preferred stock that has a profitable floor of about 71 cents and a ceiling of about $3.61, according to Bloomberg .
What's 500% among friends? That's what I always say.
So, taking a look at Reddit, there's two really notable things on this stock:
1) In the last two weeks there's almost a total blackout on BBBY from the WallStreetBets pump-and-dump-to-dumb-money brigade.
2) The Bed Bath subreddit has desperate bulls looking for the "MOASS" (Mother of All Short Squeezes), despite it already doing it twice in quick succession (lol, shows you their entry is higher than $5 and $7, doesn't it?), and telling each other to quickly "DRS" (Direct Register, AKA put your BBBY in an off-exchange personal wallet) in an attempt to mess with the float to manipulate Hudson's equity position on their convertible contracts.
After thinking about it for a while, I believe the blackout on BBBY on WSB is because the idea is to not attract the attention of retail buyers to the stock now that "everyone knows" BBBY is going bankrupt.
In other words, the PR company and the people who pay the PR company, who manage Reddit's trading forums, don't want people to buy cheap.
The BBBY forum is acting as mentally ill as it is because bag holders are feeling desperate and dosing a heavy stimpak of hopium.
All of this leads us to believe that, despite the reversal pattern that the short-dumpster to $7 produced, a new all time low is incoming.
After all, Hudson's risk is profitable above 71 cents, Bloomberg says. The ATL is 88 cents. This is 20%, by the way, and 20% is a lot. If you got a 20% move on the Nasdaq while holding a QQQ call you'd make like $4,000 a contract.
The thing to understand is that smart money isn't like you are, who is eternally unhedged and emotionally unstable. Hudson is hedged and really couldn't care less if BBBY goes under 71 cents for a few days because they'll just buy more. And they have a strategy to profit from the plummet in the meantime.
Of course they'll buy more. They obviously see a lot of upside to risk $1 billion on a bankrupt shitco retail chain that was trading at a 2-handle when they donated blood.
So, what kind of upside is there? Well, frankly speaking, the upside is this weird double top left at $30 during the RYAN F'IN COHEN pump and dump last year:
It might sound too good to be true, but look. BBBY short interest ending Jan. 13 and Jan. 31 are both twice as high as it was during the Cohen/Reddit retail rape.
Moreover, according to the most recent institutional holdings filings dated 12/31, only nobody firms sold out of BBBY.
While names like Bank of America and Barclays reduced their positions, bigger and more important names like Blackrock, Vanguard, Morgan Stanley, and Citadel increased their holdings.
Did they not know BBBY was on the verge of bankruptcy and stood to get delisted like Party City just did? Of course they knew. They know what comes three and six months from now, too.
A lot of the same big names decreased their holdings in Party City before the bankruptcy
Another key factor is at Friday's close Bed Bath is only worth like $211 million in market cap. Even a 20 bagger is only $4 billion. A 20 bagger from <$1 is only $2 billion in MCap.
For Bed Bath to go to $30 or $60 in the end requires some crazy fundamental thing, like perhaps Buy Buy Baby really does get split into its own stock, awarded to BBBY shareholders, and you get a Kodak 2020-style candle.
It's hard to say, but if you buy at 60 cents and it goes to $2.4 and you sell it all, who really cares?
Nobody except for Wall Street truly knows either what is going to happen or when it's going to happen.
But for now, it seems to me that the thing that will generate the most alpha for the MMs is to dump BBBY under its $0.88c ATL, probably while Nasdaq and the indexes feign beartown and volatility goes up.
This will cause capitulation from retail bag holders, because that's how retail does it, while the WSB brigade won't buy because they're not being told to buy.
Imo, this is the idea of everything going on right now.
So you can buy the really low prices. But there's a lot of risk. Maybe BBBY goes Chapter 11 and gets delisted and liquidated in receivership, though.
Life is hard and you lose a lot, no matter how you want to gain. You still lose a lot.
Buy a $0.6 handle and try to hold a winner to $30. I dare you.
Frankly speaking, holding a winner is really hard. In some ways it's a lot harder than holding a loser. The way to do it, though, is if you can bag some multiples, is to sell a portion equal to your risk and let the freeroll run until the entire market at large is showing the warning signs of a crash.
Then dump it all and never touch it again.
So, stay safe, lawyer up, hit the gym, and most importantly, delete Reddit.
Nokia - a sleeping giant?Nokia has been quiet for years - too quiet I suspect. You remember those old brick phones, the ones that were nearly indestructible, right?
I have been watching Nokia off and on since March of last year, trying to find a decent entry point. This is an update to my original idea linked below.
Due to Nokia's prior reputation, I have for nearly a year had a very strong hunch that it is soon to have a major break upwards.
On Robinhood, there is a $7 call leap contract that expires 1/21/2022. It is currently trading for 16 cents.
Around the end of October, the leap contract hit a low of 12 cents then had a fairly impressive rebound to higher than 21 cents.
Currently, I am holding the largest position I have ever had in stocks. Specifically on Nokia, after I saw that it bottomed yet again at 12 cents.
A lot of people would say going all in on one position is not smart, but I'm not a person that can pay attention to too many things/assets at once.
Plus, the feeling I have about this stock is next to unbreakable, no matter what it does in the short term.
Fundamentals aside, this is a chart analysis of why I believe Nokia is not just 'a' sleeping giant, but 'the' sleeping giant.

This is a trend line in Nokia that I spotted which began on the week of February 20th, 2001.
Nokia broke below this trend line with force between the weeks of April 19th, 2010, and April 26th, 2010.
Since then, Nokia has failed to break above it for any significant amount of time until the week of May 22nd, 2017.
Unfortunately Nokia was unable to hold mid-term support and on the week of October 23rd, 2017, had a significant ~20% drop.
Nokia has battled with breaking and staying above this trend line since then, with every break below causing significant selling pressure.
Interestingly, Nokia has an earnings report coming up on February 4th, 2021. Almost 20 years to the day that this trend began.
I believe Nokia is fairly close to breaking above this trend line for good due to a few things I am seeing on the chart.

When I check the RSI, I immediately notice multiple trends. The first one being Nokia significantly rejecting any value above 60.
From the week of January 21st, 2014 to April 17th, 2017, Nokia did not stay above 60 RSI. Even the April 2017 break above was short lived.
Also notice, that break above 60 RSI was likely caused by Nokia testing support at first the .618 Fib, then the .50 Fib.
It then proceeded to have a longer-term triple top in price at the $6.4 resistance while the RSI was printing noticeably lower highs.
The failure in 2019 to break above this resistance then began another major downtrend.
This is the second trend I spotted in the RSI. This is also the second biggest justification I have for being so bullish on Nokia.
Since entering overbought in late 2013, Nokia has failed at breaking above 60 RSI let alone 70 until the end of May, 2017.
The May high in the RSI created a few different trend lines that Nokia has reacted very strongly to.
Up until April 2020, the longest amount of time that Nokia's RSI has been able to spend above this resistance is approximately 2 months.
On the week of April 20th, 2020, Nokia was able to break above this trend with force, and after 2 successful support tests has so far stayed above it.
A much smaller and shorter-term trend line I noticed. Currently, Nokia is above it.
When we go into the 3d chart, we can see that this trend line was rejected as resistance on October 19th after falling below it in late August.
In late November, the RSI once again managed to break back above it. It successfully passed a support test and is currently attempting to test it once more to flip it from resistance into support.
When we check the daily, however, there is something interesting to be seen. After briefly dipping below this trend line, the RSI had a decent rally back above it. We can see that this is the 3rd attempt to test for support. Should the next 3 day candle hold, this should cause another test of local resistance.

And now, the MACD. The MACD has, in my opinion, been showing consistency over the past 10 years with a trend line of higher lows.
With the exception of the drop from Covid, the major lows in the MACD have all been higher than the last.
Even when the Covid drop happened, the MACD printed bullish divergence. The MACD histogram at the same time printed hidden bullish divergence.
This caused Nokia to have a ~119% rally.
We can also see that, currently, the MACD is above the higher lows trend line.
Zooming out to the 1 month time frame, an interesting situation.
After testing and rejecting the 0 line, the MACD printed what is so far a potential double bottom. A break above the 0 line will validate this scenario.
There is also a slight bullish cross. The histogram has also flipped upwards, but not by a significant margin.
The 2 month shows a few other interesting signals.
The thing that catches my eye here is what seems to be very strong bullish divergence. The September 2020 price low is approximately 28% lower than the September 2016 low, yet the MACD is showing a higher low. Nokia is also attempting a bullish cross here after being rejected on the first attempt.
Another key thing to note on this time frame in the MACD is the histogram, which appears to be showing sell momentum waning.
Nokia attempted a bullish cross in the July 2020 2 month candle but was rejected, and is now yet again attempting another bullish cross.

Aisde from Nokia currently residing above the 20 year trend line, there are also multiple price patterns/signals presenting themselves.
After Nokia dropped from the .5 Fib retracement, the price has been printing a potential bear flag.
Nokia did however catch strong buying support on the 0.886 Fib, which is typically the absolute last stand for bulls to regain control.
That Fib also coincided with the Covid market-wide selloff in March of 2020.
After Nokia broke back above the 20 year trend line, it was also able to break a mid-term diagonal resistance. This resistance has been tested successfully for sure once, although most people would argue the gap was also potentially indicative of a successful support test.
Within this bear flag, however, there are 3 different price structures indicating potential bullish pressure building. I do not hold much weight with price patterns anymore however as I have been burned one too many times by them, and/or fake breaks of them. Still, I find that for analytical purposes I may as well mention them just in case.
First, a giant potential inverted head and shoulders pattern. Should this complete, the measured target for this would be approximately $2 higher than the point where it breaks above the neckline. Technically, this pattern alone could quite easily propel Nokia above my forecasted target of $7 depending on if the neckline is tilted upwards or is the 0.618 Fib. And again, only if the pattern is legit.
Second, a much smaller potential inverted head and shoulders pattern. Should this one complete, the measured target for it is approximately $1 higher than the point of breakout above the neckline. The measured target for this particular one to complete would be roughly the 0.5 Fib, which resides at $5.18.
Interestingly, both of these POTENTIAL inverted head and shoulders pattern started at the 0.618 Fib.
The bigger one completing would propel Nokia out of the current bear flag which would be a major buy signal to traders.
There is also a potential ascending triangle, with an apex around August 2021.
A long term downtrend channel.
A long term potential falling wedge with fake breakouts to the upside and downside.
I think this is more likely to be a downtrend channel than anything but I guess you never know.

In conclusion, Nokia at this point can go pretty much anywhere. What I have outlined in this idea is strongly bias to the bullish side.
The fundamentals for Nokia are currently very neutral. There is a new CEO who previously worked for Sony Ericsson, who has outlined a new roadmap for the company as a whole. They have positive cash flow and a low debt to asset ratio. They did however have a drop in overall revenue. Also, the outstanding amount of shares for Nokia is very high. Due to this, a lot of traders believe it would take a seriously large catalyst for Nokia to break its current downtrend/range. I may be early on this trade, but I do believe that within the next 6 months, Nokia could make a serious turnaround.
At this point, I believe that anything below current share price is a strong buy.
The leap contracts for Nokia are also dirt cheap, according to multiple postings on social media.
Time will tell. I will leave you with this food for thought:
When in doubt.. Zoom out.
Original idea:
EUR/NOK can the trend hold? Commentary
EUR/NOK multi-week higher tops and higher bottoms on price indicate a dow pattern uptrend; provided price can hold above the 10.9 key support the potential for a continuation of the prevailing uptrend remains for a move towards 11.05 in the short term (5-13 days), otherwise if price fails to hold above the 10.9 key support then scope for a price correction lower can not be ruled out.
Not investment advice. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
Short EURNOK - the vikings will win!First things first: all hail valhalla!
Why I like this trade:
- NOK with the MUCH better fundamentals
- NOK clearly undervalued on a longterm timeframe
- Norges Bank quite dovish in their last meeting but could get hawkish again in march as
-> inflation has massively surprised to the upside
- inflation expectations on thursday will be key for NB
- NB could reduce NOK selling
- oil and nat gas with upward potential
- EUR optimism is overpriced
$USDNOK - Now we wait...$USDNOK - Now we wait...
Another week for us traders to take advantage of
Excellent set up for usdnok - now we wait for a break to either direction we do have key fundamental data this week. Will Powell be as before dovish or will he hawkish as well as that softer cpi coming our way expected and then taking into consideration the technical view of usdnok it's not bad R/R either direction.

USDNOK: Descending TriangleI think DXY may lose some ground in the next few weeks, to where no one knows
against NOK there seems to be one of the clearest patterns
a descending triangle, confirmed by the volumes on NOK Futures
I expect a clear break below 10.40 and confirmation volumes on the futures, even if on the descending triangle they are not essential
