XPeng Faced With Staffing Adjustments and Leadership ShiftsXPeng ( NYSE:XPEV ), an electric vehicle manufacturer, is facing challenges in transitioning to a dealer-dependent sales model due to staffing adjustments and leadership shifts. Gu Yuanqin, former XPeng vice president of financial platform operations and management, has taken over as head of sales, taking over the duties of previous head of sales Wang Tong. Gu has contributed to the development of Xpeng's lane-level navigation and positioning system at his former company. Wang, who oversaw key account sales operations, assumed leadership of sales after the merger of Xpeng's direct and distribution systems in 2023.
XPeng previously attempted to boost sales by implementing sales channel adjustments, such as mandating dealers to acquire a specific number of vehicles monthly. However, this strategy is encountering obstacles. XPeng's initial sales model was managed directly by its initial 20 stores. Yu Tao, currently the head of marketing for Oppo's OnePlus brand, is expected to join XPeng as its vice president of marketing soon.
Yu will oversee marketing, public relations, and communications, reporting directly to President Wang Fengying. XPeng aims to sell 280,000 units this year, which requires an average of over 30,000 units per month for the remainder of the year.
Stock Performance
XPeng ( NYSE:XPEV ) closed Fridays' trading session up 1.23% trading with a Relative Strength Index (RSI) of 49.86 which is quite prime for further surge henceforth.

XPeng: Knock Knock 🚪The XPEV share is currently trying again to establish itself below the $7.51 support level. We assume that it will succeed in doing so soon. The green wave (2) should lead to a sell-off to the blue Target Zone (coordinates: $5.31 - $3.01). There we expect the low of the protracted correction and thus a long-term trend reversal. Traders and (long-term) investors can take advantage of the price range to build up long positions.

XPEV Elliot Wave WXY CorrectionXPEV, at $23.62 in July 2023, may be in the Y wave of the Ellliot WXY Double Correction. Accordingly, it may end wave A, the first correction of the Y wave, around $11.5-12.3, which is the Anchored VWAP line, perform wave B, go up to around $15, and end the Elliot Double Correction wave with wave C between $8.5-10.
XPeng is the future of CarsXPeng is one of the biggest Electric Car Brands in China. The Chinese Government announced that it wants to support Clean Energy and Electric Cars. Also Volkswagen published a Cooperation with XPeng to produce Cars together. This is a Sign, that the European Car Producers know that China is ahead of them. XPeng has low Production Costs and a Quality that is getting as good as in Europe. However, their last Quarter Results were negative and the Quarter Results that will be published on August 18th will probably be negative , too. The Stock has risen 200% in one Month and is overbought . Since June XPeng is in a Rising Broadening Wedge that might breaks out to the Downside , because this Pattern is bearish and the Stock is way to overbought. The Target of the Pattern is 8 Dollars, but I think 10-12 Dollars are more realistic. I will update you when a Breakout happens!
Have nice Day!
Ford - A Cautious Post-ER Long ScalpFord is one of the richest charts among all of the U.S. equities to chew and savour for an analyst.
The reason is, its relevant price action to today spans some 22 years, and we can only see it on the monthly:
Notably, $26~ was a curious place for price action to stop and reject 18 months ago, leaving monthly hallmarks of potential targets
And looking at the weekly:
The rejection was so gappy, closed in ranges not seen on the monthly, but left open ranges not seen on the weekly.
And yet in 18 months, the flat bottom formed under $12 is no cause for bullish continuation. "Support" as retail traders are taught to believe in, is made to be broken.
Therefore, this chart would absolutely never be a long, in my opinion, except that price action you can only see on the daily has created a set of goalposts.
And those goalposts are at the $15.42 level, which formed a perfect double top composing the July high.
Before we begin, I want to warn you that trading the markets right now come with significant geopolitical risks surrounding China.
The International Rules Based Order is frequently going off about "de-risking" from China, but not "decoupling," and the meaning of this is pretty significant.
You should note that the propaganda machine is always targeting "China" but not "The Chinese Communist Party."
Don't you think it's strange that despite the CCP's 100 years of murdering significantly more of its own people than Hitler did in general that the global Party doesn't take advantage of the CCP's heinous human rights abuses and totalitarianism to take it down?
Instead, they're always going after China, its 5,000 year old culture, and its 1.4 billion pre-Wuhan Pneumonia population?
It's because the IRBO wants to take control of China as the CCP falls. They won't take control of it directly, because they're not Chinese, but will install a puppet from Taiwan.
And this is where "War With Taiwan" garrling comes from. It's not that Xi Jinping is going to invade Taiwan, but that the IRBO intends to take control of China with Taiwan as a proxy.
But Xi can always weaponize the 24 year persecution of Falun Gong, started by former Chairman Jiang Zemin on July 20, 1999, to protect himself and China, because Wall Street and the World Government have been extensively visiting Shanghai (Shanghai Gigafactory what?) to train Marxism.
And training Marxism in Shanghai means depositing collateral with the CCP.
Xi has never persecuted Falun Gong. Instead, Xi has even protected Falun Gong from the Jiangling thugs in Hong Kong, and that was the real purpose of the National Security Law and the installation of John Lee as Chief Executive.
Notable that Lee was banned from attending the San Francisco APEC conference in November by Joe Biden, in that light, wouldn't you say?
So, back to trading.
Generally, the market makers will not leave this kind of double top in play, because short sellers love to go bigly short under them because "it's strong resistance," before taking new lows.
It's noteworthy that Ford is only a ~$50 billion company. Compare that to Tesla and decide which company is over/undervalued.
And all of that is just theoretical, but when we combine it with the fact that Friday's earnings were actually pretty good, but Ford dumped, and back into the box that preceeded its breakout, making it a classic breakout-retrace long, we have a trade setup.
So here's the idea.
Unfortunately, I believe that there is extremely high probabilities that the indexes are topping to end July or to begin August, which I go over here:
# SPX - The Sound of a Shattering Iceberg
Ford would probably get drug down in a 200+ point SPX correction.
That means that while we have significant bullish upside targets, at the $18 and $22 levels, all of the long term price action considered, we probably have to raid the bottom under $10 before Ford can really and truly rally during an index recovery.
So what we have is a long from where we are on Friday, +/- $12.80, with a target of $16.
This is a pretty nice range to collect.
Rather than use a strict price based stop, what I would like to say is that if Ford does not trade up and away from this $13 level within the next two weeks, it would indicate that big money is up to something else, and a long trade is either not valid or too risky to bother with.
Conversely, if you're bold and brave, shorts/puts over $15.50 with a target under $10 before 2024 may equal an even better payout and risk reward setup.
This trade is something of a coinflip that I only have moderate confidence in. What I have confidence in is that the MMs will not leave $15.50 in tact before they really dump it.
I also don't believe they'll leave these perfect flat bottoms in tact before they pump it.
So, be careful, and good luck. Plays like this are a lot better than gambling on the latest dumpster fire coin (AMC, SPWR, lol) spread on Marxist messenger Reddit.

XPeng negative picture could still be attractive to investorsXPeng Inc. (symbol ‘XPEV’) share price has been trading in a slight bearish momentum for the last 3 months without any signs of bullish reversal. The company’s earnings report for the fiscal quarter ending December 2022 is set to be released on Friday 17th of March, before market open. The consensus EPS for Q4 is $-0,05 compared to Q4 2022’s $-0,24.
‘The share is trading at its all time low since the day of joining the New York Stock Exchange in September of 2020 after losing more than 80% of its valuation in 2022. The profit and loss statement is not looking good with the company recording net losses for the last 4 years and resulting in negative P/E and PEG ratios. The company’s share is undervalued by more than 45% which despite the negative financials it might still be considered an attractive investment option for long term investors since it has the potential to grow and possibly reach its all time high of more than $70 in 2020.’ said Antreas Themistokleous at Exness. ‘Xpeng (XPEV) will join the Hang Seng TECH Index, according to the company on March 7. The company is also expected to join the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index by mid-month, replacing China Feihe.’
From the technical analysis perspective the price has been trading in a declining trading channel in the last 3 months and is currently between the 50 and 100 moving averages , also known as “dynamic area”. The $10 area is a strong resistance since it consists of the 50% of the Fibonacci , the 50 day moving average and also the psychological resistance of the round number.
A continuation to the downside could find some support around $$8,90 which is the 61.8% of the Fibonacci and also an inside support area since late January.
XPEV XPeng Inc Options Ahead Of EarningsLooking at the XPEV XPeng Inc options chain ahead of earnings , i would buy the $10 strike price Calls with
2023-3-17 expiration date for about
$0.76 premium.
If the options turn out to be profitable Before the earnings release, i would sell at least 50%.

I still use dollar cost averaging as a way to minimize risk and guarantee a good return. Patience is required in this process.
Dollar-cost averaging is the practice of systematically investing equal amounts of money at regular intervals, regardless of the price of a security.
Dollar-cost averaging can reduce the overall impact of price volatility and lower the average cost per share.
By buying regularly in up and down markets, investors buy more shares at lower prices and fewer shares at higher prices.
Dollar-cost averaging aims to prevent a poorly timed lump sum investment at a potentially higher price.
Beginning and long-time investors can both benefit from dollar-cost averaging.
Not financial advice. Always do your research!

XPeng might ping at new heights. XPENGCertainly here is a relatively high level of confidence about which we are going, that is being up. Less certain about how far or how high exactly. Not ironically, this is quite normal for markets.
We are not in the business of getting every prediction right, no one ever does and that is not the aim of the game. The Fibonacci targets are highlighted in green with invalidation in red. Fibonacci goals, it is prudent to suggest, are nothing more than mere fractally evident and therefore statistically likely levels that the market will go to. Having said that, the market will always do what it wants and always has a mind of its own. Therefore, none of this is financial advice, so do your own research and rely only on your own analysis. Trading is a true one man sport. Good luck out there and stay safe!
XPeng G9 First LookThe company will hold the third-quarter conference call on November 23.
XPeng Motors will unveil the G9 SUV, the company's fourth model and the first after its brand refresh, on November 19 at 11:00 a.m. Beijing time.
Photos of the model have already appeared in the XPeng app before the model was officially unveiled.
As previously reported by yiche.com, the new model will be based on the same Edward platform as XPeng's flagship sedan P7, which supports a wheelbase range of 2,800-3,100mm.
The model is expected to be priced at around CNY 300,000 (USD 47,000), equipped with a more advanced autonomous driving system with LiDAR and support for XPILOT 4.0, the report said.
Early last month, a Weibo user said that the XPeng G9 could be officially launched in the fourth quarter of 2022.
The car's wheelbase is between 3050-3100mm, which is longer than the NIO ES8 and Li Auto's Li ONE. But the car may be less than 5 meters long, possibly slightly shorter than the latter two, according to the blogger.
Its price may lie in the range of CNY 300,000 to 400,000, between the P7, which starts at CNY 229,900, and the P7 Wing edition, which costs CNY 409,900, the blogger said.

XPeng to Launch 800v, 480kW Overcharge... and Super Energy Storage Station.
The CEO of XPeng Inc. predicted that the penetration rate of new energy vehicles would reach 50% in 2025.
On October 24, Xiaopeng He, CEO of XPeng Motors, said that XPeng hopes to be the first 800V high-voltage platform equipped with silicon carbide chips in mass production, aiming to achieve the endurance of 200 kilometers after charging for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, XPeng will also launch the supporting 480kW high-pressure overcharge pile.
The energy storage station designed by XPeng can meet the overcharge of 30 vehicles at the same time. In other words, XPeng will launch three schemes in terms of energy supplement, that is, 800V, 480kW overcharge and Super Energy Storage Station, respectively.
In addition, XPeng also announced its exploration progress in electrification and intelligence. It is reported that it's Xpilot 2.5 accounts for 89.74%, and the activation rate of version 3.0 with high-speed NGP is 59.29%. He pointed that intelligent-assisted driving is not automatic driving, where man-machine driving will be an inevitable choice for a long time.
It is worth noting that Xinzhou Wu, vice president of XPeng's auto-driving business, said that the urban NGP function is expected to be launched in the first half of 2022 and will be tested on some roads in the first batch of cities.
In January 2021, XPeng's NGP was officially opened to users. Users can realize automatic navigation-assisted driving from point A to point B based on the set navigation route. The high-speed NGP function realized by XPeng P7 can cover most domestic expressways and some urban expressways. Apart from the functions of ACC adaptive cruise, LCC lane-centering assistance, ALC automatic lane change assistance, some other functions include but are not limited to automatic lane change, automatic speed limit adjustment, overtaking at night, ramping in, and out.
Xpeng: Still On Track!😎😎😎It took some time for the Xpeng stock to pick upt some momentum, but it is looking better now! We expect the price to increase to an area around $75 in the first step, before another correction sets in. In the long-run, however, the stock should move towards $143.
Push it to the limit!
XPeng's Flying Car Closes over USD 500 Mn in Series A fundingThis is the largest single round of financing to date for a company in the low-altitude manned vehicle sector in Asia, with HT Aero's pre-investment valuation exceeding USD 1 billion.
HT Aero (Xiaopeng Huitian), a technology unit majority-owned by XPeng Motors and CEO He Xiaopeng, announced today that it has closed a Series A round of funding in excess of USD 500 million at a pre-investment valuation of over USD 1 billion.
The financing was led by IDGCapital, 5Y Capital and XPeng Motors, with participation from Sequoia China, Eastern Bell Capital, GGV Capital, GLVentures and Yunfeng Capital.
This is the largest single round of financing to date for a company in the low-altitude manned vehicle sector in Asia.
XPeng Chairman and CEO He Xiaopeng said the company's increased investment in HT Aero will further accelerate its layout of a large ecosystem of intelligent transportation.
After the financing is completed, HT Aero will further increase its investment in the development and manufacturing of flying cars, high-end talent pool and airworthiness certification, said Zhao Deli, the company's president.
HT Aero's next-generation flying car will be a true integration of a flying vehicle and a car that can run on land as well as fly in the air, and is expected to be announced in 2024, Zhao said.
At the Shanghai Auto Show in April, XPeng unveiled the X1, a fourth-generation intelligent electric manned flying vehicle that is the size of a regular car and can take off and land vertically in a parking space.
On July 16, He announced the release of the fifth-generation flying vehicle X2 via Weibo, saying, "This marks another step closer to a more widely available and safe flying car."
The X2 is a two-seat, enclosed cockpit, all-electric flying car with autonomous flight path planning capabilities, ground monitoring, self-service return landing, and 100-kilometer two-way real-time communication.
It is worth noting that the lack of policies and regulations is the key to the difficulty of commercializing flying cars.
According to China's current regulations, aircraft with a maximum takeoff weight of more than 150 kg are classified as large drones, and their flight locations, routes and airspace are subject to regulators' management.
This means that flying cars are actually no longer part of the 'car' category, and existing ground transportation systems and regulations do not apply to them.
As the main mode of commercialization of flying cars - 'air cab' operation faces many problems.
In China, flying vehicles need to obtain a permit to carry people, and to operate commercially, they need to obtain an operating permit.
Globally, the level of sophistication of regulations regarding low-altitude manned vehicles is also different, which has led to commercialization difficulties for companies in this field.
On April 1 this year, China established the Central Air Traffic Management Committee (CATMC), which means that the country has taken an important step in reforming its low-altitude airspace management.
The Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) began a field review of the EHang EH216 autopilot aircraft in April this year, signaling a step forward in the regulation of the sector.
On July 17, CCTV reported that Hunan Province became the first in China to be allowed to conduct a pilot program for all-area low-altitude flights.
Hunan will accumulate experience in aircraft surveillance communication coverage, low-altitude airspace regulation, and low-altitude airspace operation management in low-altitude airspace below 3,000 meters to provide a theoretical basis for the opening of low-altitude flights nationwide, the report said.
The report did not provide more details, but the pilot in one province heralds the prospect of more policy support for low-altitude flying, a strictly regulated market.
