The equity gapped higher today, soaring above former resistance at its declining 10-day and 20-day moving averages. What's more, the security's rally has not wavered today despite the market's overall tendency to hover close to the break-even mark. There is a good chance that a sizeable chunk of short sellers are being squeezed out of their bearish bets, creating a short-covering rally for the shares. As of the May report (yes, we're still waiting for June data on NASDAQ stocks), more than five percent of the security's float was sold short, representing potential buying power Buying Power The money an investor has available to buy securities.

Poor, poor, Nokia. The stock more than doubled from its August 2004 low of 11.16, using the steadfast support of its 10-week and 20-week moving average. But it looks like those winning ways are just dreamy nostalgic thoughts at the moment. The stock has dropped below those intermediate-term trendlines and now appears to be hitting resistance at those once-supportive averages. What's more, the equity has dropped below the key 20 level.

The company reported earnings that beat the consensus estimate and was upgraded before the open from "hold" to "buy." Yet, at last check, the stock was down roughly eight percent, and that up from its initial loss of more than 16 percent. It seems that investors are focusing on the equity's lowered first-quarter guidance.
