During the last trading session, Uber’s stock fell more than 5.5%, as volatility increased following the release of the company’s quarterly earnings report.
Although revenue came in at $13.47 billion, slightly above expectations of $13.28 billion, and earnings per share (EPS) reached $3.11, the stock experienced strong selling pressure. This decline was mainly driven by the company’s announcement that rising costs and shrinking profit margins remain a concern — a trend that could persist in future reports. This outlook has fueled investor uncertainty, leaving the stock in a state of indecision.
Sideways Movement Gains Relevance
In recent weeks, Uber’s share price has formed a consistent sideways range, following the break of an upward trendline that had been in place for several months. The upper boundary of the channel remains near $100, while the lower boundary sits around $91.
Although recent selling activity has been dominant, it has not been strong enough to break the range, making this lateral structure the most relevant technical formation to monitor. As long as the price remains within this channel, market indecision is likely to persist over the coming sessions.
RSI
The RSI line hovers around the 50 level, reflecting neutral momentum between bullish and bearish forces, with no clear directional bias over the past 14 sessions. If the RSI continues to fluctuate near this zone, indecision may continue to reinforce the sideways pattern in the coming weeks.
MACD
The MACD histogram remains close to the zero line, indicating a lack of directional strength in short-term moving averages. This behavior aligns with the dominance of the current sideways channel, suggesting that the market could continue trading without a clear trend in the near term.
Key Levels to Watch:
$100 – Main Resistance:
Marks the top of the sideways range and serves as the most important psychological level. A sustained move above this zone could reactivate the previous bullish trend, which has been inactive for several weeks.
$95 – Intermediate Barrier:
Aligns with the 50-period simple moving average (SMA). If the price consolidates near this level, it could extend the sideways range in the coming sessions.
$91 – Main Support:
Represents the bottom of the lateral channel and aligns with the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level. A break below this zone could trigger a new bearish trend in the short to medium term.
