Energy transition accelerates! Which electric vehicle stocks stand to benefit the most amid high oil
BYD Co. (01211) closed at HKD 101.80 on April 9, down HKD 5.00 or 4.68% for the day. The intraday high was HKD 106.80 and the low was HKD 101.50, with a turnover of approximately HKD 3.089 billion. The share price had rebounded from HKD 88.50 to near HKD 109.00, but has since come under pressure at higher levels and retreated to around HKD 103. The key issue at this level is not just how much it has fallen, but whether the psychological support level of HKD 100 will hold.
Technical Analysis: Profit-taking after an uptrend, testing the edge of the consolidation zone
Technically, BYD is currently in a profit-taking phase after its rise, retreating back to the edge of the consolidation platform.
- Short-term moving averages: 5-day MA at approximately HKD 104.60, 10-day MA at approximately HKD 105.14, and 20-day MA at approximately HKD 103.09. The stock price has broken below these three lines, weakening the short-term momentum.
- Medium-term support: 30-day MA at approximately HKD 100.85, 60-day MA at approximately HKD 98.86, and 120-day MA at approximately HKD 99.02. Below HKD 100 represents a significant medium- to short-term support zone.
- Bollinger Bands: Midline at approximately HKD 103.09, lower band at approximately HKD 96.72. The current price has dropped below the midline, indicating short-term weakness but not extreme panic.
- RSI: Around 39 to 51, neutral leaning weak, with slowing momentum.
Support Levels: HKD 101.5 → HKD 100 → HKD 99 to 98 → HKD 96.7.
Resistance Levels: HKD 103.1 → HKD 104.1 to 106.1 → HKD 109.
Upside condition: Hold above 100 yuan, reclaim 103 yuan, and then stabilize between 104 to 106 yuan to be considered a normal consolidation.
Downside risk: If 100 yuan is breached, the next focus will be 98 yuan.

The market is quite divided on BYD. Like @ZM Zhaohuansaid, 'Good news every day, yet the stock price plunges daily,' and @Flame of the Torch mentioned 'solid fundamentals with explosive growth in overseas sales.' These two statements are most interesting when viewed together as they highlight BYD's biggest contradiction at present: the fundamental news can continue to be good, but the stock price may not immediately respond in the short term. The market is now more focused on valuation digestion, short-term rhythm, and whether a longer consolidation period is needed after the previous rise.
Another camp places greater emphasis on technical frameworks. For example, @@呂. The big侠 believes that 'low trading volume with a sharp drop in share price, but without breaking the framework, indicates someone is quietly accumulating shares.' This view has some basis because, from the chart, although the share price has fallen below the 5-day, 10-day, and 20-day lines, it has not officially breached the more crucial support zone around 100 yuan and 99 yuan. In other words, BYD's current situation can be understood as a battle near the lower edge of the platform, rather than necessarily turning into a one-sided deterioration.
Some investors have made their focus very clear. @@空軍末日 Mentioning 'Really want to return after breaking below 100,' @SnackNostalgia@小吃回味 Also says 'Only look after breaking below 100,' while @LastMinuteEntry@最後一分鐘上車 Suggests 'Wait until it breaks below 100 before adding more.' These comments are quite technically meaningful, as 100 is not only a psychological round-number level but also the most crucial short-term boundary for the current structure. If it holds, the market will still consider it consolidation; if it doesn’t hold, discussions about 98 or even 96.7 will rapidly increase.
A more pessimistic voice, such as @SuperDuperBigBigFortune @超級無敵大大大大發財Said 'A large bearish candle with no upper or lower shadows suggests a drop back into the previous range,' and @StockMarketNewbie2024 Believes 'If you don't leave, tomorrow’s drop will be deeper.' This reasoning isn’t entirely without merit since the short-term moving averages have been broken, and the stock price momentum has clearly weakened. However, as long as the 100 mark holds, it cannot be directly categorized as officially falling back into the old range. A more accurate statement would be that it's currently at a very critical testing point.
On the other hand, the more optimistic side believes this is merely consolidation. For example, @BrightBrightFuture Mentioned 'Buying between 100 and 104 means there’s absolutely nothing to worry about—just wait until it finishes consolidating, then it will take off,' and @TheTimelessLegend@不老的传说 The idea that 'holding above 98 is a victory, waiting for the Q2 report to show increased profit per share' is not without foundation. From the perspective of mid-term moving averages, 98 to 100 yuan is indeed an important support zone in this round. However, to talk about 'taking off,' we need to first see if the stock price can return to 104 to 106 yuan; otherwise, this consolidation theory can at best be interpreted as defensive and not upgraded to an offensive signal.
Another very representative question comes from @Lin Linzi @琳琳子's 'What’s happening today' and @LongStoryShort 's 'Why did it drop so much? Is there negative news?' From a chart perspective, this pullback doesn’t necessarily correspond to a single major piece of bad news. Instead, after the stock price rose to 109 yuan, it failed to continue upward in the short term, then broke below several short-term moving averages, amplifying market sentiment. This pattern is very common in Hong Kong stocks: the fundamental news may not have suddenly worsened, but once key technical levels are breached, the stock price will reflect a decline in risk appetite.
Short-term Warrant Strategy: Consolidate first, then move up; follow through with a breakout
At this stage, BYD is in a tug-of-war zone between 100 and 106 yuan. Short-term operations should focus on support and resistance, deploying in two phases (put warrant strategies are not included in this deployment).
Strategy One: Hold between 101.5 and 100.5 yuan, consolidate first, then move up
If the stock price continues to hold steady between 101.5 and 100.5 yuan, this indicates an overall high-level consolidation pattern. There may be opportunities to rebound to 104.5 yuan in the short term, then test the 106 yuan level. At this stage, focus on call warrants with moderate elasticity to capture rebounds near the support level.
- UBS Group 25678 $UB-BYD @EC2608A.C (25678.HK)$ | Strike price 106.98 yuan | Actual leverage 5.1 times
The strike price is not far from the current price, suitable for guarding the support zone and betting on the first rebound.
More responsive, suitable for short-term deployment within a consolidation range.
Strategy Two: Follow after breaking through 104.5 yuan to 106.8 yuan, targeting a test of 109 yuan
If BYD breaks through 104.5 yuan further and advances towards 106.8 yuan to 109 yuan, it indicates that there may be an opportunity in the short term to shift from consolidation to another upward move. At this point, the deployment can shift from defending the support level to following the trend, using medium-to-high elasticity call warrants.
- UBS Group 22495 $UB-BYD @EC2606A.C (22495.HK)$ | Strike price 116.98 yuan | Actual leverage 8.1 times
Medium-to-high elasticity, suitable for following after a breakout, capturing faster gains.
Good responsiveness and flexibility, suitable for capitalizing on extended upward momentum after the stock price breaks through resistance.
