Hello traders,
I hope you are doing great!

I know it's been a long time since the previous trade idea here in Trading view but a lot is going on with "The Greek Traders" community along with the V.I.P trading mentorship programme.
We can see a trade we have also shared on the V.I.P group since the previous week.
We are reffering to the "Volkswagen" stock trade of course, let's see why we are long on the stock as always combining fundamental analysis with technical analysis!As noted in the "The Greek Trader" seminars also, if fundamental analysis doesn't align with technical analysis we don't enter any trade!

Firstly we are in clear bear market in Volkswagen stock since almost 2 years now from the high of 357.40 euros at 15/03/2021, as uncertainty from Covid-19 hit the markets.Also less incetives from the governments for the purchase of an EV vechicle as the maket is entering a more mature stage along with supply chain bottlenecks, rising inflation and geopolitical uncertainty also took a toll on many companies in 2022.


Technical Observations

1.As we can see after that 2 year downtrend RSI has already started to build a bullish divergence on the weekly timeframe since June of 2022, that's very strong indication of the slowly shifting momentum especially when we are reffering to the weekly timeframe!

2.We can seet the 5 Elliott waves since the high, we are currently on the 3rd wave and we can trade the counter trend 4th wave to the upside.

3.The 4th Elliott wave that's an equal projection of the 1st wave we can see that coincides perfectly with the Fair value gap that has not been filled and with a previous support/resistance level that has been respected multiple times.That's the reason we will have our TP in that area (162-167 Euros).

4.We have also put the FIbonacci timezones and fibonacci retracements levels and we can see that both of the are aligned with the previous Elliott wave theory.

5.We are waiting a double bottom to be formed or a lower low with bullish divergence and a bullish candlestick formation to enter long at 113-116 Euros area.

Fundamentals Observations
1. The Covid-19 pandemic and subsequent global lockdowns in 2020 saw the stock's price fall to its lowest level in almost five years. After starting at €175.60 on 19 March 2020, it sank to €79.38. Over the later months of the year, as economies began opening up, VOW3 seemingly began to recover and closed the year at €152.40.

2. In 2021, the carmaker announced it was increasing its EV capacity and scaling up MEB (modular electric drive matrix) use. In March, the company stated it planned to deliver a total of 450,000 EVs to customers – more than twice the figure delivered the year before. Volkswagen’s EV sales during the first three-quarters of the year put it in third place, with a 10.1% market share compared to 21.5% for Tesla, reaching an all-time high of 357.40 euros at 15/03/2021.

3. VW group had invested a lot on biofules but as part of the revision of the Renewable Energy Directive (RED), the European Commission proposed reducing the contribution of conventional biofuels in transport from a maximum of 7% in 2021 to 3.8% in 2030, that was a blow for the VW group.Now with the FY23 budget VW is turning it's main focus on the EV sector with more than 200$ billions investments for the next 5 years.

4. 2022 proved to be interesting for the EV market, Iola Hughes of Rho Motion told INN at last year’s Benchmark Week. Headwinds for the sector came following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and China’s lockdowns in the first few months of the year.EV-volumes.com sales data shows that the global total for last year came in at 10.5 million units across BEVs and PHEVs.
“An impressive growth of 55,4 percent in a difficult vehicle market as a whole. BEV sales increased by 59 percent to 7,65 million units, PHEVs by 46 percent to 2,86 million units,” the firm states. “The global EV share in light vehicle sales is 13 percent for 2022.”

5.Supply chain constraints appear to be easing and sales expectations for 2023 for passenger cars and light-duty vehicles, Rho Motion forecasts over 14 million global BEV and PHEV sales in 2023.

6.(Reuters) - South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster on Monday signed legislation approving $1.29 billion in state incentives for Volkswagen's off-road brand Scout Motors to build a $2 billion manufacturing plant for trucks and SUVs.
The project could also receive up to $180 million in job development tax credits based on hiring, said South Carolina Commerce Secretary Harry Lightsey.
In May, VW said it would reintroduce the Scout off-road brand in the United States, offering new electric pickup and sport-utility vehicles. Scout said it hopes to eventually create 4,000 jobs and produce 200,000 Scout vehicles annually.
Groundbreaking is planned for mid-2023 and production is projected to begin by the end of 2026.

7.Earlier this month Volkswagen said 2023 sales will rise by between 10-15%, and the operating profit margin will be between 7.5 and 8.5% compared with 7.9% in 2022.
