EV sales remain weak for May. As reported, major electric vehicle makers mostly saw vehicle insurance registrations in China fall last week, with a major holiday taking its toll early May. Let's look into the chart trend for Chinese EV trio, Nio Xpeng and Li!
NIO
Chinese electric car company Nio announced last Thursday that it will launch its lower-priced brand called Onvo on May 15. Onvo's first model, the Onvo L60, will take on the Tesla Model Y, and will primarily target the market for smart, family-centric pure-play EV market in the RMB 250,000 ($34,600) class.
Nio daily chart
For Nio, the share price pulled back like most of the EV companies after rallied since mid April. So far, this round of correction is still healthy as long as it stands firm above 5 USD. If you look at the highlighted circle in Orange, it shows that the share price pulled back to the nearest trend line support which is EMA10 and EMA50 in this case. The last defence will be EMA25 in red colour. Usually, with this pattern, the stock $NIO Inc.(NIO)$
XPENG
Similar to Nio Onvo, Xpeng, also plans to release a sub-brand called Mona in the next two or three months.
Xpeng has also announced its entry into Australia, through a partnership with Australian distributor TrueEV, which will bring Xpeng's EVs to local consumers. Xpeng has increased its focus on overseas markets this year, as competition in the domestic market grows red hot.
Xpeng daily chart
As compared to Nio, Xpeng has a weaker chart. The share price still under a short term downtrend resistance. I expect the stock $XPeng Inc.(XPEV)$
LI AUTO
Since Li Auto introduced the L6 in mid-April, its latest model, orders have soared to 41,000. L6 is a premium large SUV that offers spacious interior and excellent configurations. Its standard first-row seats come with a rich array of features, including ventilation, heating, and seat massage with ten acupressure points. The driver enjoys complete control with an adjustable electric steering wheel equipped with heating and grip sensors.
LI daily chart
Lastly, for Li Auto, the candle pattern is very similar and close to Xpeng. Last night's pullback sent the stock towards its neckline support at 26.49 USD. Similar bullish prediction for Li Auto, purely based on technical analysis and expect a short term rebound $Li Auto(LI)$
