NKLA Cup and Handle Pullback for Long EntryNKLA on the 2H chart appears in a cup and handle pattern with the full pattern
including the bullish continuation now printed. The pattern predicts $ 2.00 of
upside . While the fundamentals of a change of CEO may be concerning, the
the creativity of finding cash during a slow cash burn without diluting current
shareholders. Perhaps he will have two classes of shares as a remedy. There
are upsides to "fresh blood". NKLA has been on the rise for two months albeit
with some volatility as seen in the price oscillation from the base of the cup.
The uptrend is that of a parallel ascending channel.
The rise of the amplitude on the AO indicator is reassuring and shows the
bullish momentum has the strength of bull legs. I see the pullback in the
last trading session as a buy entry. Let's go long! If you are interested in my
suggestions of the stop loss and targets or an equivalent options trade, leave

Load up between $1 and $1.50 Here's what I currently see for Nikola. We made a nice 5 waves up and it's time now to retrace so we can start another leg up. I think the area between $1 and $1.50 is where the big boys will be loading up. It's also a put wall. From there we should rip to around $5 easily.
Super bullish, but first wait it under 1 for the last timeBullish flag. Aim for 0,88-0,90 for long term. Dont buy it now, too risky since the market is heading into a small but harsh correction during July. It can go even lower, around 0,60.

And dont forget it MAY fail!!
Potential Upside on Nikola Corporation Company Fundamentals:
Nikola Corporation is an American company specializing in the development of zero-emission vehicles, with a primary focus on electric and hydrogen fuel cell electric semi-trucks. The company has faced a fair amount of controversy in the past regarding the feasibility of its technology. However, it seems to have weathered the storm and is potentially moving toward solidifying its position in the electric vehicle (EV) market.
Technical Analysis:
Recent Breakout: There's been a surge in price by 37.44% today, which might signify a change in sentiment. This could be driven by a potential fundamental catalyst such as positive news regarding the company's progress, contracts, or partnerships.
Resistance Ahead: The stock is nearing a resistance level around $4.61, marked by the horizontal blue line. This is crucial as a break above this level could lead to further upside momentum.
Trade Entry: Taking a position around the current price ($3.12) can be considered.
Take Profit and Stop Loss: The green area represents a take-profit zone, which aligns with historical resistance. A stop loss could be set below the recent low, around $1.63, to mitigate risks in case the stock fails to break through the resistance.
Trade Details:
Entry: Around current market price ($3.12)
Take Profit: Near $4.61 (Green Zone)

$NKLA Hindenburged Short SqueezeThanks to a new deal introduced on July 13, Nikola Corporation (NASDAQ: NKLA) experienced a short squeeze that helped the stock run nearly 116% last week. That said, the recent short squeeze may be a prelude to a substantial fall or even bankruptcy. In the meantime, NKLA is attempting to gain shareholders’ approval to raise its authorized shares in order to be able to raise capital by issuing new shares. With the company’s annual shareholders meeting set for August 3, shorting NKLA stock at current levels may prove to be a profitable decision as the results of the shareholders’ vote will see the stock fall drastically either due to the expected dilution or declaring bankruptcy.
NKLA Fundamentals
Financial Woes
As is, NKLA is stuck between a rock and a hard place. Currently, the company has a dwindling cash balance that is not enough to pay off its current liabilities as it has a cash ratio less than 1 at .43. Moreover, it has a negative gross margin worth triple its revenues which indicates that the company is losing substantial amounts of cash for each vehicle it sells.
At the same time, NKLA has an unsustainable cash burn rate as it burned $179 million in OCF in Q1 2023 and with $121.1 million in cash on hand, the company’s cash balance may not be enough to last the company another quarter. On that note, the company stated in its Q1 earnings that it is operating as a going concern which could see the company have a similar fate to Bed Bath & Beyond (OTC: BBBYQ) which declared bankruptcy a quarter following the introduction of going concern language in its earnings.
The Only Escape From Bankruptcy
That said, NKLA is looking to gain shareholders’ approval on a provision allowing it to double its authorized shares from 800 million to 1.6 billion to access the required funding it needs to continue its operations. According to the company’s Q1 earnings call, it has access to $243 million available under its share purchase agreement with Tumim and $200 million available on its ongoing ATM offering. However, the company is not able to issue shares to access this capital since its OS is nearly maxed out with 716.9 million shares outstanding out of the authorized 800 million.
With that in mind, it appears that NKLA’s shareholders are not that enthusiastic about that provision since the company had to adjourn its annual meeting from June 6 to August 3 to ensure that the provision passes. The reason behind the company’s decision is due to an amendment to the Delaware General Corporation Law that is expected to be effective August 1.
Once this amendment is effective the voting threshold to increase the company’s authorized shares would change from the majority of outstanding shares to the majority of shares actually voting on the provision. By doing so, the company’s management appears desperate to pass this provision which shows that NKLA’s outlook would be bleak without raising its AS.
In case the provision passes, NKLA stock may plummet significantly due to the expected dilution the stock will witness. As things stand, NKLA stock is already overvalued as its Book Value Per Share (BVPS) is $.79 which is a far cry from the stock’s current PPS of around $2. On that note, if the provision passes, the stock’s BVPS would fall to $.34 – marking a downside of 56.9%. In this way, the stock should follow suit and decline by 56.9% at least considering that it is currently overvalued. Meanwhile, if shareholders do not approve the provision, bankruptcy may be NKLA’s only option to reorganize its business as its burn rate is unsustainable due to its dwindling cash balance.
Risks
Although taking a short position in NKLA stock may lead to substantial gains, investors should note that the stock is highly shorted with a short interest of 24% and 47.6% of its float on loan which makes it prone to short squeezes as shown by its latest parabolic run last week. For this reason, investors taking a short position in the stock should set a stop loss to hedge against the risk of short squeezes occurring.
NKLA Financials
One of the most alarming figures in NKLA’s financials is its cost of revenue, which was $44 million in Q1 2023 while realizing around $11 million in revenue. This discrepancy between revenues and cost of revenues resulted in a gross loss of $32.9 million and a jaw dropping gross margin of -296%. This imbalance has drastically strained the company’s assets as its total assets decreased QoQ from $1.23 billion to $1.15 billion, due to a sharp cash balance decrease from $233.4 million to $121.12 million.
This sharp plummet is likely a result of NKLA’s gross loss and current liabilities of $276.5 million sapping its cash balance. Despite this, the company has done a tremendous job decreasing its current liabilities QoQ from $383.5 million due to declines in its accounts payable and accrued expenses. In this way, total liabilities dropped $710.1 million to $612.4 million. However, the company’s cash balance remains a fragment of its current liabilities even after accounting for its $10.6 million in restricted cash.
In terms of revenue, NKLA experienced a substantial YoY increase from $1.88 million to $11.11 million which is due to the fact that it recorded no product revenue in Q1 2022. When it comes to expenses, NKLA experienced a significant decrease from $151.74 million to $118.13 million and is expected to experience another significant decrease in expenses due to its departure from Europe. It is still worth noting that any expenses accrued will have a negative effect on the company’s already weak balance sheet. When it comes to net loss, NKLA experienced a sharp spike from $152.94 million to $169 million due to the aforementioned reasons.
Technical Analysis
NKLA Stock is in a neutral trend and has recently entered a sideways channel between $2.09 and $2.8. Looking at the indicators, the stock is trading above the 200, 50, and 21 MAs which is a bullish sign. Meanwhile, the RSI is approaching overbought at 67 and the MACD is approaching a bullish crossover.
As for its fundamentals, NKLA’s upcoming shareholders meeting on August 3 will be a major catalyst since it would either lead to bankruptcy or mass diluting the stock to raise capital. As both are negative outcomes for current shareholders, investors could wait for the stock to break its current support at $2.26 and take short positions ahead of the upcoming shareholders’ meeting. It is also worth noting that NKLA stock is currently overvalued since its BVPS stands at only $.74 which could be a good target for investors shorting the stock.
NKLA Forecast
Taking into consideration NKLA’s dwindling cash balance, negative gross margin, and its overall financial state, it becomes abundantly clear that NKLA stock’s recent short squeeze is inconsequential. In its current situation, the passing of the provision allowing the company to double its authorized shares appears to be the only scenario where the company will continue existing. However, the company’s survival is associated with mass dilution that would see its share price plummet substantially from current levels. Given that the alternative is filing for bankruptcy, taking a short position in NKLA stock may prove to be a profitable decision, but investors should be wary of potential short squeezes and set stop losses to mitigate any potential losses.

NKLA round bottom reversalNKLA has reversed a trend down in the past week as it clear concerns with potentially being
delisted with NASDAQ. The symmetry in the trends is shown with an arc overlaid. This
brings to mind a cup and handle pattern in progress. It seems likely the NKLA will have
a bullish continuation from the good news of stability of its NASDAQ listing. Potential
buyers on the sidelines may take positions and generate momentum. I will trade a long
trade early in this upcoming shortened trading week. The longer-term anchored VWAP provides
support as so just under that will be the stop loss. The first target is 1.70 which was a
resistance level a few weeks ago.
NKLA Long from bottom of channelNKLA has had an interesting week as it sought to have shareholders vote for a dilution to
raise the cash necessary to grow its business. The former CEO now convicted and awaiting
sentencing as a major shareholder led the opposition and the vote for a dilution failed.
Seemingly, NKLA will now seek capital through some other means. Earlier, it was awarded
a grant of $24M by California to build out hydrogen station infrastructure along the interstate
highways. On the 15-minute chart, the price is currently at the bottom of a slowly rising
channel coinciding with the bottom of the Donchian channel indicator and two standard
deviations below the mean anchored VWAP. I see this as a good entry point for targeting
first the middle of the channel and secondarily the top of the channel. I will find an exact
entry on a short time frame likely 1 or 3 minutes and expect to realize a profit of 12-13%
potentially intraday. Without regard to the fundamentals of NKLA's financial health, given
the extreme volatility, I believe that NKLA can be successfully traded long if the trade is
entered when it is oversold and undervalued.
Falling wedge breakout? We will see soonLooking at a falling wedge pattern with potential breakout. Keep an eye on the daily volume and break and close above the green solid line. Could be a nice long term play to 9 in a few years. Thanks for taking a look.
Anyone else see NKLADoes this look healthy to anyone else? Just did a look through on their website. They are voting on a proposal to increase shares of their stock. Not sure if it is a split or what. They are calling it Proposal 2. Other than that, this looks like a bounce from bottom if I've ever seen one. Let me know your thoughts. www.nikolamotor.com
Nkla long ,look like shaken out all weak hand , my option that it hard to find a big company with a cheap cheap stock prize . at the time of writing I bought some at 1.19 for long term. I Dont have to buy to much . If lose I lose. But if I win I think that a way to go.
Nkla long target 4.27If NkLA hold this level for this week
Than next week will be upside target
4.27 I am buying at 1.6 and holding . I think this is trade of the year , we may not see this level anymore that my prediction. If you like pleased click the like button
Nkla longThanks for letting me post. Nkla every day gap up that a good sign . I am all in nkla and will vote for issue new share it is same as Tesla stock split. Investor invest in tesla I don’t see why not in nkla
Nkla to buy target 2.1The stock holder want to buy out the company that why they not approved for stock share increased. But they have to approve share increased because what is it good for if you not approved and stock price going down. Company need money to do operate then stock price going up to 10$ .then is it worth it. Or they just want to drive down share price so they can take the whole company.
NKLA Is Nikola puting in a bottom ?NKLA is trying to make an all time low. Fundamentally, the last earnings were okay. Some members of
the board are retiring soon. Technically, the relative selling volume is much higher than the moving 50 day average.
The zero lag MACD shows no bullish divergence suggesting that that there is no impending reversal. The
indicators K/D lines have not crossed indicating the moving average compression / convergence are continuing.
Price has fallen outside the Bollinger Bands. NKLA finished out the week with some engulfing bear candles
on the news of instability on its governing board. This is unlike the candlestick pattern when NKLA did minor
pullbacks on the downtrend foreseen by small body red candles to setup up the minor pullbacks.
All in all, as a penny stock, this is probably not shortable but it does have put options for $23.00 per contract
for the $1.00 strike DTE 5 with a spread of 5% with high volatility and open interest ( reasonable liquidity) I will
take a put option trade of several contracts targeting 50% return and setting a stop loss at 10%.
I have always found it helpful to have some naked puts in the portfolio so when the general market of SPY / QQQ reverses t
o the downside they can help the put options capture some profit in the synergy.
all the indicators are down almost 100% sure shorting position !NKLA 100% SHORT FINAL CALL
This is the king of shorting and making money!
NFA
