A sign that someone is buying up this stock.% Using Google Translator. Please understand. As of now, NU is showing a typical institutional(or market maker anyway) acquisition pattern. I am writing down a small tip regarding this part. NU has been forming a tight weekly close around $11.7 for over five weeks following dramatic volatility following its earnings release. At the same time, during the first four weeks, trading volume remained high with significant differences between weekly highs and lows. Since market makers' accumulation usually involves maintaining low trading volume at the bottom of a falling stock and accumulating stock volume over a long period of time, there is room for interpretation of NU's pattern as being different. However, NU is also clearly a market maker's accumulation pattern. Why is that so? First, let's assume that we are a market maker and that we are trying to accumulate NU in large quantities at a slightly lower price. What is needed to acquire large quantities at a relatively low price? First of all, if you want to buy in 'large quantities', of course you will need that much to buy. To do this, we need to get existing market players to sell the amount of NU they own. In addition, we must suppress the buying force that continues to push up stocks inertially. In particular, for stocks that were on an upward trend, such as NU, neither institutions nor individuals want to easily sell their holdings. This is because, if they are already making profits, they are willing to tolerate a slight adjustment or sideways move for higher profits. Above all, NU is strongly perceived as a 'Buffett' stock, so there are many people who believe in Buffett and hold on. In this situation, if you want to get them to sell the stock, you have to first make it a 'boring' stock. So what exactly are ‘boring’ stocks? That would be a stock that, while the Nasdaq is rising, has not been able to rise on its own for several weeks and has been moving sideways or even falling. What people fear the most is loss, and the next thing they hate is FOMO. If you look at NU's weekly chart, the Nasdaq index continues to rise, while NU is showing a sluggish sideways trend. When the price of a stock rises a little, someone lowers the price again, and when it rises a little, they lower the price again. It can be seen as a fierce battle between selling and buying forces, and that is correct, but the fact that the weekly closing price moves sideways in a similar range ultimately shows that this stock is being managed by existing large-scale forces. As a result, the power of buying forces trying to raise stocks began to gradually decline. This long, boring period would have caused existing players to sell off their stocks little by little. Because during that time, AI stocks, including NVIDIA, would have continued to hit new highs. Players who were already seeing profits took profits by reducing the proportion of underperforming stocks. And players who suffered losses in the last correction tried to make up for their losses by selling whenever the stock price rose with the mentality of trying to break even. (This is a natural human instinct that appears when you lose money in stocks.) As a stock becomes increasingly 'boring', the gap between weekly highs and lows becomes smaller and trading volume begins to decline. Just like last week. Last week was the week when NU Holdings' popularity began to fade in earnest. The buying force to push the stock price up has become very weak, which has led to a decrease in trading volume. There were more people selling than buying as it started to move in the opposite direction of the market index, showing a 'uninteresting' pattern. Volatility decreases and stock prices appear to gradually decline. At this time, I noticed Friday, June 14th. This was because if a market maker was managing this stock, he would definitely buy up again the quantity of NU whose price fell that day. And sure enough, NU rose 1.2% to $11.7 even as the market index struggled. They happily acquired the volume that was pouring in due to market pressure, and this was a clear signal. Looking at this, it is assumed that the institutions currently accumulating NU are quite seasoned professional investors. It is highly likely that the stock price will continue to move sideways for a certain period in the future. They will make bottoms with low trading volume and occasionally raise prices, enticing existing players to sell their stocks and move on to other stocks. until when? That is until they have acquired a quantity they are satisfied with. Hold on to NU unless it plummets on very high volume, or the support line breaks. Unless they change their minds for some reason, there is a high possibility that they will break the new high with strong trading volume in the future.Longby KANUSE0
NU Long PositionHi traders, Turning our attention to Nu Holdings Ltd. (NU), we can observe the formation of an ascending triangle pattern over the past few weeks, indicating a potential bullish breakout. Nu Holdings, a prominent digital banking platform in Latin America, has been experiencing significant growth in its user base and market presence. The company's innovative approach to financial services and strong market position make it a key player in the fintech industry. The ascending triangle pattern is characterized by a horizontal resistance level and an upward-sloping support line. This pattern typically indicates that the price is likely to break out above the resistance level after a period of consolidation. The series of higher lows demonstrates increasing buying pressure, suggesting that the bulls are gaining control. As NU approaches the resistance level of the ascending triangle, a breakout above this level could confirm the bullish continuation. Entering a long position upon confirmation of the breakout appears reasonable. Take Profit: 14.61 Final Target: 16.64Longby vf_investment1
NU Holdings Options Ahead of EarningsIf you haven`t bought NU before the previous earnings: Then analyzing the options chain and the chart patterns of NU Holdings prior to the earnings report this week, I would consider purchasing the 11.50usd strike price Calls with an expiration date of 2024-5-17, for a premium of approximately $0.67. If these options prove to be profitable prior to the earnings release, I would sell at least half of them. Longby TopgOptionsUpdated 5

Nu Nears Old HighsNu Holdings is a Brazilian fintech that doubled its revenue last quarter. Some trend followers may see opportunity in its current setup following a significant run. The first pattern on today’s chart is the $10.50 level where NU peaked in mid-February. The stock pulled back to test that level in mid-April and bounced. Has old resistance become new support? Stochastics also dipped to an oversold condition. Third, NU ended last week higher after fluctuating between previous week’s peak and trough. That kind of bullish inside week may suggest it’s poised to continue a longer-term uptrend. Finally, the company went public in December 2021 for $9 a share. It spiked to $12.24 later that month. Notice how the stock is now back near the old peak. A move above those levels could potentially represent an important breakout.

Possible parallel channel break out. - 1.618 Fib Ext & Channel target is $8.51 to $9.13 - Plucked positions at green circles for long term hold - RSI continues to rise - Above 200 day SMA (same as 40 week SMA) - Failure to break above (which is very possible) will only lead me to make another allocation on RSI trend line retest. NUBANK Fundamentals look exciting - Milestone of 80 million customers 2 weeks ago - Brazil-based Nubank partnered Polygon to expand the reach of its Nucoin loyalty programme to its 80 million customers. - In October 2022, the Nubank/Polygon announced the Nucoin token and launched a pilot run involving around 2000 users. Nucoin was designed to recognize customer loyalty and encourage engagement with Nubank products, and by expanding the programme, the token could reach as many as 70 million customers across Brazil. - David Marcus former Paypal CEO and former head of payments & crypto at META has been added to the NUBANK Board - Nubank secured a loan of up to USD 150 million from the International Finance Corp in January 2023 in order to expand its operations in Colombia - Nubank has a division in Colombia named Nu Colombia, which is a fast-growing credit card issuer. In August 2022, Nu Colombia made the announcement that the country's regulator had granted its proposal to form a financial firm. This licence allowed Nu to add a full savings account linked to other credit products to its lineup of credit cards and e-wallets, as well as acquire deposits, a less expensive financing source similar to that used by large banks. - Approximately 35 percent of the Colombian adult population has no access to any formal financial services and are considered “unbanked,” according to the Colombian Banking Association. Some 79 percent of adults have no access to credit cards. There is a HUGE market here for long term growth. - Last 4 earnings reports have had surprised to the upside. - Next earnings report is 15th May 2023 (key date for break of channel or rejection) - We all know Warren Buffet holds a long position in Nubank.

NUBank Update - Stop Raised NUBank - NYSE:NU ⚠️We already lost the 21 SMA ✅Raised my stop to $7.55 Good news is we have POC under price and we had two touch downs to the $7.70 level. IMO if we lose these both, the diagonal line too will be lost too & id rather get some of the position off the table. I still think we can bounce and go higher with a wave 5 extension higher. You could enter a trade here and set a stop under POC to your risk tolerance. Would I do this? Only with a small position because we have had one hell of a run. An ideal entry would be off the 200 MA @$6.83 at present. Lets see how this plays out. Incredible run and profit, and now a protective stop in place hat ensures gains will crystalize if structure is broken PUKAby PukaCharts2
NUBANK - A perfect example of great TANUBANK - NYSE:NU A beautiful case of Technical Analysis providing all the structures for a winning trade. First shared this idea earlier in the year. It was just an idea....now we are almost 100% up. Surpassed 90% return on this trade since taking up positions in June 2022 and again in Jan 2023. I sold a portion in Aug 2023 with a breach of the 21 day SMA and reentered slightly lower with a stop. We then reclaimed the 21 day and started moving towards the target. What's beautiful about this trade is the following: 1. We had a double bottom 2. We then had a parallel channel breakout with a target that aligned with the 1.618 fib extension. 3. As things progressed we identified a 5 wave Elliot count. Now we have clear incoming targets at $9.04 and $10.17. We will use the RSI oversold timeframes from the past to help identify when we need to watch the chart carefully (red area) and we also know we can rely on the 21 day SMA as a trigger sell. All the hard work is done here on this trade. We just need to ensure we sell some of our position or all of it if it breaks down. Typically after a 5 wave count you get an ABC style correction. With the TA being perfect on this chart to date, it would not surprise me to see a good correction when this wave 5 completes. All the same, we remain in a winning trade and stay on trend until the trend changes. I almost forgot to mention earnings are released next Tuesday 14th November , so we will need to keep an eye then too. NYSE:NU PUKALongby PukaChartsUpdated 5

NuBank at the crossroad NYSE:NU Nubank, a crypto-friendly Brazilian bank owned by Nu Holdings, has proven to be a lucrative investment for Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway, which has seen a 93% gain on its Nubank stock this year, making it the best performer in Berkshire's portfolio. Despite some of Berkshire's other key investments like Coca-Cola and Kraft Heinz showing declines, Nubank has shown significant operational growth, increasing its customer count and revenue substantially, and even transitioning from a net loss to a substantial profit. This performance, along with its close ties to the highly regarded Sequoia Capital, makes Nubank an attractive stock to consider for investment, despite the relatively small size of Berkshire's stake in it compared to its overall portfolio.Longby TotoParasca1

$NU - Profit Target HitJust updating an earlier trading idea. The 1st target profit has just been hit. Trends are powerful. They require a lot of effort to be reversed. The odds are this one will continue. However, after the breakout and confirmed transition into a confirmed uptrend, this market is now trading against an area where bearish pressure is likely to step in and interrupt the bullish momentum. Goes without saying that , if you're more into a trend following approach, then there is no exit trigger in this market for you at the moment. No matter what your style and interpretation is, remember that what's really of the essence is risk management.

$NU A Fintech JuggernautAfter reaching 80 million customers, the stock of the Brazilian fintech giant Nu Holdings Ltd. (NYSE: NU) climbed as high as 9% over the following days. The Warren Buffet backed company has been showing continuous growth in customers and revenues despite the economic environment it is operating in and it is not showing any signs of slowing down. To reach this success, NU has been capitalizing on the untapped market of unbanked individuals in Brazil and most importantly those without credit cards. With NU set to report its Q1 earnings soon, the stock could be an exceptional long play if it beats its estimates in similar fashion to the previous quarters. NU Fundamentals The Brazilian bank’s upcoming earnings are right around the corner with it to report its Q1 earnings on May 15th afterhours, where analysts expect it to report a revenue of $1.3 billion and an EPS of 0.02. Looking back at the history of NU’s earnings, the company has beat its estimates during its last 5 earnings since its IPO. As a result, NU’s stock has always soared following each one of its earnings events, climbing 12% after its last earnings while rising a whooping 26% following its Q2 earnings. As NU witnessed another massive growth in its customer base during Q1, NU could be set to beat its estimates once again after its upcoming earnings which might cause its stock price to increase once again in similar fashion to previous earnings events. But here’s why NU has continuously beat its earnings over the previous quarters and why it could be set to do it again. Having the backing of one of the biggest American investors Warren Buffett, NU has around 107 million of its shares owned by Berkshire Hathaway – the holding company owned by the Oracle of Omaha. With NU operating in Brazil, Mexico and Colombia, the company targets a total population of around 392.5 million people. The company has an ever growing customer base with the company recently stating that its customer base has reached 79.1 million in Q1 2023 which is a 33% increase compared to the year prior. Notably, 75.2 million of these clients are in Brazil, however, the company also stated that its customer base in Mexico and Colombia increased by 66% over the same period. This number further increased in April reaching 80 million customers across the three countries. Most importantly, The company’s CEO David Velez stated that this growth would translate into more revenues per customer. By offering a multitude of different services, NU has a variety of revenue streams per customer including offering free digital bank accounts with no fees apart from a fee of R$6.5 for ATM withdrawals. Opening a free digital bank account could entice customers to explore NU’s other services bringing in more revenue from a single customer such as personal loans with varying interests depending on the customer and a life insurance option starting at a R$9 per month. NU also offers completely free credit cards, where it gains profit by getting a small percentage from the establishment where the customer uses his card to complete a purchase through the mastercard network. All of these services can be found in one convenient place through NU’s smartphone application removing any necessary physical interaction between the customer and the bank. Introducing a new digital currency called Nucoin, NU could attract more customers further increasing its customer base. Nucoin is a form of cryptocurrency that has no expiration date which is a part of a loyalty program that rewards the customer’s engagement with NU’s platform. Customers can hold their Nucoins to level up and unlock further benefits including coin-back rewards and lottery tickets, or sell them to other customers in exchange for cash. NU describes this loyalty program as revolutionary and expects further development with its general manager Fernando Czapski stating “We expect to see many further developments as Nucoin is out there in the market and blockchain technology expands its reach.”. Nucoin could increase the number of active customers in the future while also bringing in new customers. One of NU’s biggest feats is the bank’s revenue growth despite operating in an uncertain economic environment. NU went through the largest recession in Brazil during 2015 and 2016 where the country’s GDP decreased by 3.5% in 2015 and another 3.5% in 2016 in addition to the political uncertainty clouding the 3 countries it operates in. Despite these headwinds, NU has survived as its customer base increased from less than 100,000 at the start of 2015 to nearly 1.2 million at the end of 2016 and has been continuously racking up revenues with its revenues growing 171% YoY in 2022. Moreover, the bank is expected to report its final loss in 2022 according to the 11 American bank analysts, where it’s expected to turn profits of approximately $370 million in 2023. NU already reported its first quarterly profits during its Q3 2022 earnings where it reported a net profit of $7.8 million. As a result, NU bank could be a great long term investment in anticipation of its 2023 annual financial report. The reason behind NU’s rapid growth is due to its utilization of the unbanked population in Brazil where only 70% of Brazilians had an account at a bank or at any other financial institution in 2017. Additionally, only 27% of Brazilians owned a credit card in 2017 due to the difficulty of obtaining one in the country. To further explain, Brazilians can be denied a credit card if they have a history of debts in the database of Serasa – a 50 year old Brazilian company responsible for a complete database containing information on private individuals and legal entities. They can also be denied a credit card if more than 30% of their income is compromised with the payment of any financing such as loans or installments for example. To capitalize on this untapped market, NU started offering credit cards to individuals who aren’t able to obtain a credit card due to the previously mentioned reasons resulting in NU having around 32 million credit card active users as of Q3 2022. At the start of this year, NU started offering credit cards to customers between the age of 12 and 17 years old as long as it is requested by their legal guardian which could cause these young individuals to be lifelong customers. However, this could be a risky approach for NU causing it to have a significant amount of unpaid debts by its customers in the future. NU Financials In its 2022 annual report, NU reported $29.9 billion in assets including $4.1 billion in cash and equivalents, $8.2 billion in credit card receivables, and $1.6 billion in loans. NU witnessed growth in assets from $19.8 billion including an increase in cash and equivalents from $2.7 billion, an increase in credit card receivables from $4.7 billion and an increase in loans from $1.1 billion. NU liabilities grew YoY from $15.4 billion to $25 billion as its deposits increased from $9.6 billion to $15.8 billion and its borrowings increased from $147.2 million to $585.6 million. NU revenues grew YoY from $1.6 billion to $4.7 billion and its gross profit increased from $732.9 million to $1.6 billion. However the company’s net loss widened YoY from $165.3 million to $364.6 million. Technical Analysis NU stock trend is bullish as it is trading in an upwards channel. Looking at the indicators, NU stock is currently trading above the 21 MA, the 50 MA, and the 200 MA which is a bullish sign. The RSI is approaching overbought at 60 and the MACD is bearish. Fundamentally, NU stock’s most recent catalyst was the announcement of the company reaching 80 million customers while one of its upcoming catalysts is its Q1 earnings on May 15th. NU stock price is expected to increase in light of its upcoming earnings report if it does beat estimates similarly to its past earnings. A possible play would be going long with an entry point would be on testing the 21 MA, taking profits on testing the upper trend line while leaving a tail for if the stock breaks through the channel and tests the $6.44 resistance. NU Forecast With NU reaching 80 million customers last month, the company could be set to continue its streak of milestones in the future as it is expected to realize profits soon. NU could increase this number of customers even more having started its new loyalty program by offering its customers the newly formed digital currency Nucoin as a reward for their engagement. Notably, NU has already proved its worth after surviving the 2015/2016 Brazilian recession. In addition to continuing to grow with its revenues constantly increasing over the years despite the everlasting uncertain economic environment where it is operating. To achieve such success, NU capitalized on the untapped market of unbanked Brazilians by offering credit cards to individuals who aren’t able to obtain ones at other banks while also offering credit cards to customers under the age of 18. Based on these reasons and having the backing of Warren Buffett, the NU stock forecast could be promising in 2023 and beyond. Finally, NU stock could be one of the best stocks to buy now in anticipation of its upcoming Q1 earnings.by Penny_Stocks_Today4
