Delivery surge and institutional buying highlight demand despite losses

Nio reported deliveries of 37,705 vehicles for May, a 62.3% year-over-year increase, reflecting strong demand and greater operational momentum. While the company remains unprofitable with a market capitalization near $12.35 billion and a negative price-to-earnings ratio, the delivery growth underscores Nio's execution in capturing EV market demand. Additionally, Havemeyer Place LP's acquisition of 389,142 shares in the fourth quarter highlights recent institutional interest and liquidity support for the stock.

Price stays below resistance as negative technical momentum intensifies

Technically, NIO is trading below the MA-20 at $5.60, MA-50 at $5.72, and MA-200 at $5.87, placing all moving averages above the current price. The Ichimoku Kijun stands at $5.71 and acts as immediate resistance. Momentum remains negative, with both the MACD and ADX signaling Sell. RSI is at 34.8 (Sell) and CCI is also indicating Sell, pointing to oversold conditions. Stoch RSI and AO are both neutral, while BBP shows persistent seller dominance on an intraday basis.

Downside risk dominates as resistance and volatility cap upside

Over the next four sessions, the expected price range is $5.13 to $5.97, reflecting a typical volatility band relative to current levels. The probability of an upward price move is 32%, with a 68% probability of a downward move. The baseline expectation is that NIO will trade within this corridor. A sustained bullish scenario would require a break above the $5.71 resistance, while a move below $5.13 would expose the stock to further downside.

Anton Kharitonov, analyst at Traders Union, sees little reason for optimism despite Nio’s impressive delivery numbers. He notes that technical indicators and continued losses both undermine any durable upside. The institutional purchase alone does not offset these risks. "As long as NIO stays below $5.71 with negative momentum, I remain defensive and see no clear buying opportunity."

Earlier, analysts noted that Nio shares were under sustained bearish pressure despite operational progress and oversold technical conditions. The current mix of robust delivery growth and persistent technical weakness reinforces the cautious tone, making price action around the $5.71 resistance a key indicator for any shift in direction in the coming sessions.
