Bearish structure persists as Uber tests weekly support

Uber stock is testing support from the weekly low at $70.08. The daily chart remains bearish, with shares holding below the MA-20, MA-50, and MA-200. Stoch RSI is nearing oversold territory, pointing to early signs that the recent decline may be getting stretched.

Clear downside risk as trading range points to seller control

To gauge whether the event is affecting the price, traders should watch whether Uber stock decisively moves away from support at $70.08. Price is currently testing that area but has not cleared it. While the past week has seen a contained move within a narrow range, from here the downside probability over the next five trading days is more than 80%, with less than 20% probability for upside and an expected trading range of $69.49 to $71.16. A close above $71.94 would show buyers are willing to follow through, while a drop below $70.08 would indicate sellers are regaining control. On the weekly chart the longer-term picture stays firmly negative.

Earlier, analysts noted that Uber was in a period of heightened operational uncertainty and persistent downside risk, with technical indicators supporting a bearish outlook. The current setup reinforces this view, as shares remain under pressure and traders should monitor whether the stock can hold above the key $70.08 support to avoid further declines.
