XPeng technical analysis

XPeng has suffered from a similar affliction to NIO, as its surge in 2020 is proving hard to sustain. XPeng (XPEV) surged from $21 to $74.49 between November and December 2020. From there the shares have steadily retraced back to $25. Currently, XPeng shares (XPEV) are at $36.51 and have a few key levels to take out to maintain the bullishness. 

Support from both 9 and 21-day moving averages needs to hold. These levels are $34.33 and $34.80. The first resistance is at $38.39, the high from mid-March. A break of this level completes the formation of a new bullish trend with a lower low and higher high. This would open the door to a move up towards the $45-$52 range.

$29.57 would result in a lower low and so is key to the formation of this bullish trend. A break here would bring $25.11 support into focus.
