RIVN could be an opportunity!Fundamentals :
NASDAQ:RIVN is set to report earnings two days after the elections. In a recent podcast with Joe Rogan, presidential candidate Donald Trump repeatedly emphasized his intention to impose tariffs on manufacturers outside of the US. If implemented, these tariffs could give a competitive edge to domestic electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers like NASDAQ:TSLA , NASDAQ:RIVN , NYSE:F , NYSE:GM , etc.
Increased competition in the EV market could drive consumer adoption, providing more choices and potentially expanding the market share for companies like RIVN. Given its current valuation, and assuming the earnings report—especially revenue—shows resilience, RIVN could present a solid growth opportunity at these levels.
Technicals :
Following a gap (marked on the chart by an arrow) and recent bearish news, the price quickly filled the gap. For nearly a month, the stock has been consolidating within a tight range of $10–$11.
Yesterday, an attempted breakout lacked volume, which aligns with market caution ahead of both the elections and the earnings release. However, a large move in response to the news appears likely, and NASDAQ:RIVN is well-positioned for a strong reaction.
The TTM squeeze indicator reflects this setup, with an orange dot signaling that Bollinger Bands are within the first Keltner Channel—a sign of reduced price volatility and increased breakout potential. With downside momentum easing, the setup looks favorable for upside movement. Additionally, the $9.85 support level has held strong since May, further reinforcing this base.
Today, I’m watching for a small breakout and a retest of the top range. If that level holds, I’ll go long with near-term profit targets at $13.5–$14.
