After a long time, it is time for another PLUG TA. It is an important week for the fuel cell manufacturer, as the company is estimated to report earnings on coming Thursday, May 20th 🔌🚀
Just to reflect on the chart of last months, since the 26th of January, PLUG was unfortunately not able to get any higher highs. Completely reasonable, as the stock had to cool off after a period of massive gains. But the stock plunged in these last three months with lower lows, followed by lower highs at all times. Bad news made it even worse for Plug Power, such as a slower than expected adoption of hydrogen fuel cells, a delay in publishing its financial report, a filed shareholder lawsuit, weaker than expected Q1 targets, and profitability which is a problem that exists for such a long time. On the 11th of May, PLUG stock even dropped below the $20 PPS. However, it recovered a little bit and is currently trading at PM for $24.19 PPS. A higher high is a must at this point to even start talking about a forming bottom at $18.47 and further recovery. First target will be around the $30 PPS where a higher push is needed than the 29th of April’s high. Otherwise, it is highly possible that the stock could go down even further.
But it looks like the sun will shine again after the storm. Plug Power is planning to expand its businesses in Asia through a joint venture with previous investor SK Group, multiple collaborations like with BAE systems, and lots of analysts are rising their average price target for PLUG. In addition, the stock is also oversold on the RSI on the daily chart with a possible bullish MACD cross, which would normally indicate a ‘buy-in opportunity’. On the other hand, Barclays’s analyst Moses Sutton actually lowered the price target from $29 to $24, and the stock is below the 200MA and even the 50MA. In the end we will have to see in the coming weeks where PLUG is heading towards to, as things are not stable yet. 'Would love to see a rounding bottom pattern though 😅
