Mullen shares closed 2.83% lower on Wednesday and are currently at $2.40 per share representing a Market Cap value of $574 million. The stock lost almost 10% of its value during the last five days, although, is still up 37% on the last 30 days.
The announcements made in late February have been bringing the attention from the investors, namely Mullen’s next-generation solid-state polymer battery technology. The new approach represents a significant advancement over today’s current lithium-Ion batteries and delivers over 600 miles of range and 18-minute DC fast charge giving over 300 miles of range.
As the main resistance area, it is important for the stock to hold the $2.15 – $2.19 zone, that has been tested 5 times since March 18 showing a good Buy pressure. When it comes to the next resistance levels, investors should watch the $2.51 and $2.58 zone as the next target.
The $2.78 level represents the 38.2% Retracement from 13 Week High ($4.18) and has already been rejected three times on April 6, 8 and 11. (yellow rectangles)
