XL Fleet Corp (NYSE: XL) 

Technical Outlook: XL’s prices have been under pressure from an all-time high and made a low of USD 5.41 on 13 May 2021. Prices recently started to move upward after forming a bullish engulfing (bullish reversal) candlestick pattern on a weekly time frame chart, which indicates the possibility of a change in the trend to the upside.

On the weekly chart, the momentum indicator RSI (14-period) is trading near at ~38.03 level and recovering from the lower level. Prices also formed a positive divergence with the RSI, further supporting a positive direction. Moreover, during the last week, the volume in the stock is showing an upward trend, which indicates higher participation from the investors. However, prices are trading below the trend-following indicators 21-period SMA and 50-period SMA. Now an immediate resistance level for XL is at USD 9.10 and prices may test the level in the short term. On the lower side, USD 5.40 acting as an immediate support level. 

As per the above-mentioned price action and technical indicators analysis, we can conclude that XL Fleet Corp is looking technically well-placed on the chart and we have a ‘Speculative Buy’ rating on the stock. The summary of our recommendation is as follow:
