Is Nissan's Future Fading or Forging Ahead?Nissan Motor Company, once a titan of the global automotive industry, navigates a complex landscape. Recent events highlight the immediate vulnerabilities. A powerful 8.8-magnitude earthquake off Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula on July 30, 2025, triggered Pacific-wide tsunami alerts. This seismic event prompted Nissan to **suspend operations at certain domestic factories in Japan**, prioritizing employee safety. While a necessary precaution, such disruptions underscore the fragility of global supply chains and manufacturing, potentially impacting production targets and delivery schedules. This immediate response follows a period of significant operational adjustments as Nissan grapples with broader economic, geopolitical, and technological headwinds.
Beyond natural disasters, Nissan faces substantial financial and market share challenges. Although Fiscal Year 2023 saw operating profit and net income increases, global sales volume remained largely stagnant at 3.44 million units, signaling intensified market competition. Projections for Fiscal Year 2024 indicate a **forecasted revenue decline**, and recent U.S. sales figures show an 8% year-on-year drop in Q1 2025. Macroeconomic pressures, including inflation, volatile currency fluctuations, and a significant hit from **billions of dollars in lease losses** due to plummeting used car values, have directly impacted profitability. Geopolitical tensions, particularly the threat of a 24% U.S. tariff on Japanese auto exports, further threaten Nissan's crucial North American market.
Nissan's struggles extend into the technological arena and its innovation strategy. Despite holding a **remarkable patent portfolio** with over 10,000 active families, the company faces criticism for **lagging in electric vehicle (EV) adoption** and perceived technological stagnation. The slow rollout and underwhelming market impact of new EV models, coupled with a notable absence in the booming hybrid market, have allowed competitors to gain significant ground. Moreover, the brand has contended with **multiple cybersecurity breaches**, compromising customer and employee data, which damages trust and incurs remediation costs. Internal factors, including the lingering effects of the **Carlos Ghosn scandal**, management instability, and costly product recallsโlike the recent July 2025 recall of over 480,000 vehicles due to engine defectsโhave further eroded investor confidence and brand reputation. Nissan's journey ahead remains uncertain as it strives to regain its competitive edge amidst these multifaceted pressures.
Pullback Over? This Japanese Sushi Chain Might Be Running Again.Food & Life Companies runs a major chain of sushi restaurants and is listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange under the code 3563.TSE
From July 2025, Iโve started focusing more on scanning for high-momentum stocks globally, regardless of exchange. This one caught my eye with a clean, steady uptrend and a strong 200% move over the past year with minimal deep pullbacks.
It recently dipped, found support, and looks like itโs picking up again. That kind of price action gives a clear structure for managing risk if it rolls over. Makes it easy to identify where to put a stop loss to manage risk.
Also worth noting theyโre aggressively expanding into Southeast Asia and beyond, which could help sustain the growth story.
Also. I like sushi. Wonder if there is a kebab stock...
Anyway, might be worth a watch.

Hello Traders โ
After a careful consideration I came to the conclusion that:
- it is crucial to be quick in alerting you with all the opportunities I spot and often I don't post a good pattern because I don't have the opportunity to write down a proper didactical comment;
- since my parameters to identify a Classical Pattern and its scenario are very well defined, many of my comments were and would be redundant;
- the information that I think is important is very simple and can easily be understood just by looking at charts;
For these reasons and hoping to give you a better help, I decided to write comments only when something very specific or interesting shows up, otherwise all the information is shown on the chart.
Thank you all for your support

Will Nissan be saved from Bankruptcy?Financial Health & Bankruptcy Risks
Credit ratings in junk territory
Moodyโs recently downgraded Nissanโs credit rating to Ba2 (negative outlook), highlighting weak free cash flow and margins. S&P and Fitch have also downgraded Nissan to below investmentโgrade with negative outlooks.
Massive restructuring and heavy losses
Nissan recorded a loss between ยฅ700โ750โฏbillion (~$4.9โ5.3โฏbillion) for the fiscal year ending March 2025. It is slashing workforce by 20,000 jobs (15% of staff) and closing plantsโcost cuts totaling ยฅ500โฏbillion (~โฌ4โฏbillion) .
Bankruptcy probability contradictory
Macroaxis data shows an 80%+ distress probability, indicating severe risk. In contrast, another analysis cites a much lower 4.7% bankruptcy chance but flags poor solvency and weak interest coverage.
Turnaround Plans & Potential Lifelines
Re:Nissan turnaround strategy
Under new CEO Ivan Espinosa, Nissan is executing an aggressive plan: job cuts, plant closures, and restructuring. Heโs also refocusing on EVs, hybrids, and partnerships.
Merger or investment hopes
Talks with Honda aimed at a mega-merger failed, though discussions remain open. Possibility of seeking anchor investors or strategic partnerships (some even speculating interest from the likes of Tesla or Foxconn), though none are confirmed .
Investor Outlook: Why Nissan Is Risky
High financial leverage: Junk ratings signal difficulty in accessing capital and higher borrowing costs.
Execution risk: Massive cuts and restructuring can be disruptive and slow to turn into profitability.
Industry headwinds: The shift to EVs and hybrids is acceleratingโNissanโs lineup has lagged behind competitors.
Geopolitical threat: Tariffs (especially on Mexico-made vehicles) could further squeeze margins

Larger correction wave is likely completedTSE:6526 is looking at a strong possible bullish reversal as the stock has seen a possible end of its corrective structure. Furthermore, there is a v-shaped bottom reversal forming and given the strong momentum, the stock is likely to break above the neckline resistance of 2,371. We expect 1st target to reach 3,612.
Long-term MACD is positive and shows strong momentum. Stochastic Oscillator has rose beyond the mid-point level and 23-period ROC is strong. Directional movement index reiterates the strong bullish strength.

Tokyo Electron Stock Chart Fibonacci Analysis 042825Trading Idea
1) Find a FIBO slingshot
2) Check FIBO 61.80% level
3) Entry Point > 21,510/61.80%
Chart time frame:D
A) 15 min(1W-3M)
B) 1 hr(3M-6M)
C) 4 hr(6M-1year)
D) 1 day(1-3years)
Stock progress: B
A) Keep rising over 61.80% resistance
B) 61.80% resistance
C) 61.80% support
D) Hit the bottom
E) Hit the top
Stocks rise as they rise from support and fall from resistance. Our goal is to find a low support point and enter. It can be referred to as buying at the pullback point. The pullback point can be found with a Fibonacci extension of 61.80%. This is a step to find entry level. 1) Find a triangle (Fibonacci Speed Fan Line) that connects the high (resistance) and low (support) points of the stock in progress, where it is continuously expressed as a Slingshot, 2) and create a Fibonacci extension level for the first rising wave from the start point of slingshot pattern.
When the current price goes over 61.80% level , that can be a good entry point, especially if the SMA 100 and 200 curves are gathered together at 61.80%, it is a very good entry point.
As a great help, tradingview provides these Fibonacci speed fan lines and extension levels with ease. So if you use the Fibonacci fan line, the extension level, and the SMA 100/200 curve well, you can find an entry point for the stock market. At least you have to enter at this low point to avoid trading failure, and if you are skilled at entering this low point, with fibonacci6180 technique, your reading skill to chart will be greatly improved.
If you want to do day trading, please set the time frame to 5 minutes or 15 minutes, and you will see many of the low point of rising stocks.
If want to prefer long term range trading, you can set the time frame to 1 hr or 1 day.
Bullish on Toyota, Buy when confirmation hitsToyota is a huge company with it's earnings reports as of late picking up massive steam, since this whole Tariff debacle It is only clearly apparent that the stock is ready to rebound after a long period of bearish behavior, once we reach the confirmation line we can say for certain that Toyota is on sale and buying is a clear move
Inverted head and shoulder in placeTSE:7951 is looking at a potential reversal after the stock formed an inverted head and shoulder formation. Furthermore, the stock has broken above the bearish gap down zone, indicating renewed buying pressure.
Hence, we believe that the stock is likely to edge up higher after long-term MACD momentum is showing signs of return.
Weekly chart shows a larger completion of wave A and currently we may see another upside leg of wave B with target at 1614-1792
Upwards trend and over 8 millionen copys of MHW soldThe company has great IPs like Dragons Dogma, Resident Evil, Street Fighter and of course the Monster Hunter games. There last games were a huge success with yet sold over 8 million copys of monster hunter wilds since release. Besides that the other AAA gaming companys are completly getting destroyed chartwise, what makes capcom and even more shining star on the market.
Chartwise we have a nice upwards trend, with my bet on a good rise when the earnings are coming out.
Disclamer: I bought shares today and this is of course just my opinion.
DMG Mori looking at bullish continuation TSE:6141 DMG Mori is looking at a strong bullish upside after the stock has seen a strong reversal at the base of the channel. Looking at the weekly chart, the stock has been on a steady uptrend since 2013 and stock recent price action on the weekly chart also sees DMG being supported above the 200-EMA. 14-week period RSI saw rising momentum when the lows are rising higher. Descending corrective channel which started in Apr 2024 is likely to be a bullish flag.
Looking at the daily chart, the bullish rebound is kinda cemented after it closes above the bearish down gap. Furthermore, Ichimoku shows three bullish golden cross.
Long-term MACD is looking at a return of a long-term bullish momentum. Stochastic rose and this has confirmed the upside momentum and bullish oversold signal. Volume remain healthy.
