NIO Inc. (NYSE: NIO) is experiencing a powerful surge in trading volume, signaling renewed investor interest. With volume already hitting 90.15 million—well above its 3-month average—market watchers are speculating on institutional accumulation and a potential short-term rally.
Volume Surge Fuels Momentum
NIO opened at $3.75, slightly above the previous close of $3.69, and quickly gained attention as volume climbed to 90.15 million, nearly triple the 3-month average of 34.41 million. This dramatic spike suggests significant market activity and growing investor confidence.
The stock is currently trading in the lower end of its 52-week range of $3.02–$7.71, hinting at strong upside potential if momentum continues. The 1-year target estimate stands at $4.74, which could act as a psychological milestone for traders.
Institutional Interest on the Rise?
With a market cap of $8.31 billion and a 5-year beta of 1.58, NIO remains a high-volatility asset. The unusually high volume suggests institutional players may be entering positions ahead of the upcoming earnings date, expected between September 3 and August 9.
If volume exceeds 100–120 million shares, as some predict, this could mark the beginning of a sustained bullish phase. Traders are closely monitoring the price action to confirm whether this is part of a broader trend or a short-term spike.
