Nio's inverted head and shoulders pattern.Nio began settling into an inverted head-and-shoulders pattern on Feb. 17, completing the left shoulder of the formation between that date and March 1, the head between March 2 and April 4 and working to form the right shoulder between April 5 and Wednesday. The right shoulder is not completed yet, however, and will need additional trading days, where Nio trades up higher toward the neckline, in order to further confirm the pattern.
If Nio reaches the neckline of the pattern and then breaks up through the area on higher-than-average volume , it will confirm the pattern was recognized by the algorithms.
The measured move, if the pattern becomes completed and recognized, is about 91%, which indicates Nio could soar up over the $40 level in the future.
For bearish traders, there is a possibility a bear flag pattern is being developed on the daily chart , with the pole created between April 5 and April 11. If the bear flag becomes the dominant pattern, the measured move is about 19%, which indicates Nio could fall back toward $16 level. The possible bear flag will be negated if the stock is able to recapture the eight-day EMA as support.
Nio has resistance above at $21.77 and $23.98 and support below at $20.25 and $16.75.
