BMW Puts on the Techie Suit to Challenge Elon

🚘️ BMW Puts on the Techie Suit to Challenge Elon By Ion Jauregui – Analyst at ActivTrades BMW (Ticker AT:BMW) has fired up its engines in the technology race against Tesla. The Bavarian brand is launching the Neue Klasse, a platform that promises to revolutionize the electric car and will debut with the new iX3, unveiled ahead of the Munich Motor Show. This is not just another electric SUV: the company has invested more than €10 billion to turn the car into a “superbrain on wheels.” Four central chips manage everything from infotainment to autonomous driving, with 20 times more computing power than current systems. Added to this are headline-grabbing features: 800 kilometers of range and 350 km of charge in just 10 minutes. BMW, however, does not manufacture its own batteries. Instead, it relies on Chinese giant CATL (SSE:300750), with whom it has developed new cylindrical cells that halve costs and increase energy density. Six gigafactories spread across China, Europe, and North America will guarantee supply. Shift to E-Mobility The shift toward electrification does not come without sacrifices. In 2024, the group saw its net profit fall 37%, to €7.68 billion, due to heavy spending on R&D. However, pure EV sales grew 13.5%, supporting the transition. BMW benefits from structural reductions in battery production costs, a diversified portfolio supported by solid alliances that integrate electric, hybrid, and combustion models under the same digital platform, and a premium positioning that continues to attract loyal customers. The risk lies in massive spending eroding margins at a time when Tesla (Ticker AT:TSLA) and Chinese manufacturers like Xpeng (NYSE:XPEV) are advancing aggressively. Technical Analysis BMW shares on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange show a consolidation trend after a volatile 2024 marked by profit cuts. The current key support at €88.18 seems to be holding, while resistance lies between €88.85 and the unbroken highs of €91.72. This resistance has repeatedly pushed the stock back to support levels after each upward attempt. Breaking through current highs would open a path toward €110, and possibly new yearly highs, while a drop below support could shake investor confidence and push the stock toward the Point of Control (POC) around €86.60. The 50, 100, and 200-day moving averages have contracted sharply over the past month, which could indicate declining confidence if confirmed. On the other hand, the RSI at 42.05% signals oversold conditions, while the MACD is negative but with a histogram turning positive—another possible signal of recovery. Lastly, the ActivTrades Europe Market Pulse indicator shows a contraction back to neutral territory, suggesting investors may be returning to support the market. BMW (Ticker AT:BMW) Trend: Bullish in the medium and long term, with potential lateralization or short-term reversal. Resistance: Strong zone at the highs of €91.72. Supports: Key levels between €88 and €88.50, with critical supports at €88.22, €88.18, POC €86.60, €85.18, €83.18, €81.60, and €79.70. Point of Control (POC): €86.60. Technical Conclusion: Recent sideways consolidation, with upside potential if the €91.50–91.72 zone is broken. Tesla Following political frictions between Elon Musk and Trump, Tesla’s stock has been recovering, moving sideways between May and August, with a slightly upward bias within the range of $361.93 to $291.37. A mid-range area has formed around the POC of $311.43, acting as support for the latest rally. The RSI stands at 53.96%, a relatively neutral level, while the MACD remains neutral with a histogram gradually entering negative territory, pointing to a strong consolidation move. Meanwhile, the ActivTrades US Market Pulse indicates the American market is in extreme RISK-ON, suggesting potential adjustments due to excessive greed. Tesla (Ticker AT:TSLA) Current Trend: Short-term bullish recovery after weeks of lateral consolidation, with positive signs from regaining key moving averages. Resistances: Strong resistance around $361.93, which could open the way toward $420, the next major level lost in February’s death cross. Supports: Key support at the POC of $311.43, followed by $291.37, $274.75, and $225.58. Technical Conclusion: Tesla is at a decisive range. A break above recent highs could trigger an upward move toward $420 or beyond. Conversely, a drop below $320 would increase bearish pressure, potentially driving the stock down to test $291. Conclusion The Neue Klasse is not just a product launch—it is BMW’s boldest and riskiest bet in decades. The German manufacturer wants to stop being solely a premium icon and transform into a fully-fledged tech player. Elon Musk no longer runs alone: the racetrack is filling up with rivals hungry for disruption. ******************************************************************************************* The information provided does not constitute investment research.
