Highlights

Nio Power formed a strategic partnership with Poly Property Group to expand its battery swap and charging network in major Chinese cities.
Nio has deployed over 900 battery swap stations with more than 130 million battery swaps delivered through partnerships with over 40 firms.
Shares of Nio trade under sustained downside pressure near $3.02, with bearish signals and a projected range of $2.83 to $3.13 over the next five days.

Network expansion and partnerships fail to offset broad selling pressure

Nio Power, the energy division of Nio Inc, entered a strategic partnership with Poly Property Group to expand its battery swap and charging network across major Chinese cities. Over 900 battery swap stations have been developed with more than 40 partners, and more than 130 million battery swaps have been delivered. Comau received Nio's Quality Premium Partner recognition for the second time, though price action has remained under broader selling pressure.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, highlights Nio's persistent weakness, with price action pressured below all major moving averages and no meaningful support from recent corporate news. He sees technicals firmly bearish, with momentum and volume indicators aligning with continued selling. The battery swap partnership and award recognition have failed to improve sentiment or alter the downside trajectory. Kharitonov notes volatility remains elevated as downside gaps attract further sellers. "Until we see a clear reversal signal or a shift in volume structure, Nio remains vulnerable to deeper lows," he states.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, believes the recent partnership with Poly Property Group and ongoing network growth reinforce the company's long-term fundamentals. He sees these developments as enhancing Nio's strategic position in China, even if near-term price action remains weak. Karapetjanc emphasizes the opportunity for patient investors, noting that such network expansion lays a foundation for future gains. "The bullish structure remains intact for long-term holders — further growth is expected as fundamental drivers gradually take hold," he says.

Sholanke Dele, market strategist, notes that market sentiment is sharply negative with sellers dominating price action. He points out that headline news has failed to offset persistent bearishness, suggesting the market dismisses incremental positive signals. The lack of buying support near new lows reflects eroded investor confidence. "In my view, weak sentiment will likely keep a lid on any potential rebounds in the short term," he warns.

Persistent downside momentum as stock trades below key averages

Nio is trading below its 20-day, 50-day, and 200-day moving averages ($3.31, $3.48, and $4.84), pointing to strong downside pressure over the short, medium, and long term. The near-term resistance is set at $3.03, with significant support located at $2.83. Momentum signals are clearly bearish, with the MACD showing strong downside and the ADX indicating a weak trend. The RSI, Stochastic RSI, and CCI are all registering in their respective neutral zones. Bull/Bear Power (BBP) remains negative, confirming sellers dominate intraday activity, while the Awesome Oscillator shows neutral momentum. The stock declined 6.65% today, opening with a downside gap of about 4.32% and trading near session lows, and intraday volatility measured 2.97%. Downside momentum has persisted since the open, aligning with the weak technical picture.

Previously it was reported that Nio continued to face significant technical and fundamental headwinds, with persistent downside momentum keeping pressure on the stock. The current technical setup strengthens this view, highlighting a critical support level at $2.83 that traders should closely monitor for potential further downside risk.
