NIO Stock: Critical Levels To Watch
At $4.88, the stock is slightly above its 20-day SMA of $4.82 but remains below the 50-day SMA of $5.09 and 200-day SMA of $5.51, keeping the broader trend bearish.
RSI stands at 49.88, indicating neutral momentum and balanced buying and selling pressure.
The June death cross remains a cautionary signal. Traders will likely watch $5.00 as near-term resistance, followed by the 50-day SMA near $5.09.
- Key Resistance: $5.00 — a psychological level that could cap short-term rebounds.
