MULN stock continues its collapse as it closes 14% lower on Monday

  • MULN stock closes at $1.84 on Monday, losing over 14%.
  • Mullen Automotive announces plans to start battery production at California plant.
  • MULN stock still has retail believers, but Hindenburg has dented confidence.

Mullen Automotive (MULN) stock continued its collapse on Monday with the former retail favourite closing below $2 at $1.84. The stock has been under continued pressure since Hindenburg Research issued a strongly negative report several weeks ago that dented a lot of confidence in the name. The report raised some serious questions that have yet to be fully clarified. Despite some occasional bounces, it has mostly been a strong downtrend for MULN stock since the report was first issued.

MULN Stock News

Monday had actually begun on a positive note for Mullen when the company announced it was to commence battery pack production at its plant in Monrovia, California. MULN stock surged in Monday's premarket, and the shares traded up 20% at $2.67 as retail investors appeared to chase the stock higher on what sounded like positive news. However, it was not long before reality set in as there are still too many question marks surrounding the business plan. MULN stock sold off sharply and by the open of the regular session was in negative territory. This carried on and resulted in a near 15% loss for the day. Mullen filed a prospectus Form 424B4 on Friday for the sale of up to 253,109,032 shares.

"This prospectus of Mullen Automotive Inc. (formerly known as Net Element, Inc.), a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “Mullen”), relates solely to the resale by the investors listed in the section of this prospectus entitled “Selling Stockholders” ​(the “Selling Stockholders”) of up to 253,109,032 shares (“Offered Shares”) of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”)," the filing says.

That naturally will not have helped the MULN stock price and was a large part of the cause for the steep fall. 

MULN Stock Forecast

MULN stock has now broken the support line at $2.06, which was the breakout point of the last spike on March 17. We now have a weakening Relative Strength Index (RSI), Money Flow Index (MFI) and a bearish crossover from the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). In addition, sentiment is gradually weakening and news is not helping. FXStreet forecasts a further decline to below $1 based on this price action. At least at $1 there is huge volume profile support, which may help, but our overall view remains bearish.

EUR/USD drops to daily lows near 1.1630

EUR/USD now loses some traction and slips back to the area of daily lows around 1.1630 on the back of a mild bounce in the US Dollar. Fresh US data, including the September PCE inflation numbers and the latest read on December consumer sentiment, didn’t really move the needle, so the pair is still on course to finish the week with a respectable gain.

GBP/USD trims gains, recedes toward 1.3320

GBP/USD is struggling to keep its daily advance, coming under fresh pressure and retreating to the 1.3320 zone following a mild bullish attempt in the Greenback. Even though US consumer sentiment surprised to the upside, the US Dollar isn’t getting much love, as traders are far more interested in what the Fed will say next week.

Gold makes a U-turn, back to $4,200

Gold is now losing the grip and receding to the key $4,200 region per troy ounce following some signs of life in the Greenback and a marked bounce in US Treasury yields across the board. The positive outlook for the precious metal, however, remains underpinned by steady bets for extra easing by the Fed.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP pare gains despite increasing hopes of upcoming Fed rate cut

Bitcoin is steadying above $91,000 at the time of writing on Friday. Ethereum remains above $3,100, reflecting positive sentiment ahead of the Federal Reserve's (Fed) monetary policy meeting on December 10.

Week ahead – Rate cut or market shock? The Fed decides

Fed rate cut widely expected; dot plot and overall meeting rhetoric also matter. Risk appetite is supported by Fed rate cut expectations; cryptos show signs of life. RBA, BoC and SNB also meet; chances of surprises are relatively low.

Ripple faces persistent bear risks, shrugging off ETF inflows

Ripple is extending its decline for the second consecutive day, trading at $2.06 at the time of writing on Friday. Sentiment surrounding the cross-border remittance token continues to lag despite steady inflows into XRP spot ETFs.
