Expansion in autonomous tech and partnerships drives investor interest

Uber has advanced its technology initiatives by launching Uber Autonomous Solutions and committing over $100 million toward autonomous vehicle charging hubs in the US and Europe. The company is expanding its robotaxi programs through partnerships with WeRide in Abu Dhabi and Baidu for Apollo Go services in Dubai, while also rolling out Uber Air with Joby Aviation and planning initial deployments in Dubai. Additional developments include Uber Eats starting drone deliveries in Europe via a partnership with Manna, the launch of robotaxi services in London with Wayve, increased investment by institutional investors, and internal use of an AI clone of CEO Dara Khosrowshahi.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees persistent vulnerability in Uber's technical structure. He notes that daily price action remains capped below medium- and long-term moving averages, with bearish momentum evident in the MACD and ADX. Kharitonov is skeptical of near-term optimism from news about autonomous vehicle investments, given weak chart signals and stiff resistance. Institutional flows may provide some support, but lack of trend conviction and overbought conditions on short timeframes raise caution. He warns, "Traders should be wary of chasing upside here, as downside risks dominate if support gives way."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, believes Uber’s strategic push into autonomous tech, robotaxis, and AI is likely to drive long-term transformational growth. He points to expanding partnerships and strong institutional interest as clear signs of market confidence. Karapetjanc maintains that despite short-term technical hurdles, the bullish structure remains intact, supported by capital inflows and scalable business initiatives. He states, "With multiple innovation streams converging, I expect further growth and new opportunities for patient investors."

Jainam Mehta, market strategist, takes a balanced view on Uber’s setup. He sees the stock trapped in a volatile but narrow band, with momentum oscillators showing mixed signals and no clear trend. Mehta spots a tactical opportunity if the price breaks $77.33, but notes risk of further downside if $73.49 fails. He concludes, "Traders can watch for a volatility expansion — a breakout on either side should reveal quick directional entries."

Resistance at MA-50 and volatile intraday signals shape outlook

Uber is showing short-term bullish momentum by holding above the MA-20 ($74.44), but remains below both the MA-50 ($79.46) and the MA-200 ($88.64), with immediate resistance seen near $77.33 from the MA-50 and Ichimoku Kijun level. The daily MACD signals strong selling, and the ADX indicates a prevailing bearish trend, while some intraday readings display buyer strength. RSI is below 50, so the stock is not overbought, but the Stoch RSI reading at 100, along with several lower timeframes, indicates overbought conditions. The CCI remains neutral and Bull/Bear Power is tilted toward buyers intraday, suggesting high intraday volatility and continued strength after the open.

Previously it was reported that Uber Technologies Inc. remains in a bearish trend, trading below its key short- and long-term moving averages despite a 2.12% intraday gain that brings the price close to the top of today’s range. Momentum indicators such as the MACD, ADX, and RSI continue to signal ongoing selling pressure and oversold conditions, even as shorter-term oscillators suggest pockets of intraday firmness.
