NIO delivered 6,131 vehicles in February 2022, an increase of 9.9% over the previous year. As of February 28, 2022, cumulative deliveries of ES8, ES6 and EC6 reached 182,853 vehicles. The business of the Chinese EV group is therefore confirmed as growing. The news is also good that the NIO stock is now present with its Class A common shares on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong. A necessity probably linked to the issue of the possible delisting of the American ADR. In this regard, the best news comes from China as the Chinese government has announced never-before-seen monetary and fiscal policy operations to support the Chinese economy as well as announced to also support foreign-listed securities, such as NIO.

After the highs in the $70 area, the stock started a sharp decline that led it to break the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement at $26.28.

The first signs of recovery in strength have come in the last few sessions even if there is still a long way to go. The $20 level is to be monitored. Exceeding this resistance could open up further rises towards $26.
We recommend going LONG on the stock, especially on the overcoming of $20 at the end, by buying the Leverage Shares 3X NIO ETP (ISIN: XS2399365472) also listed on Borsa Italiana for a short term targets of around $26. Alert/stop loss should be below $16.5 (daily closing). From an investment perspective, however, we highlight the stock tracker certificates with 1x leverage (ISIN: XS2337093871).
