Tesla Staggers as the Nasdaq Surges
Tesla has struggled since last summer, and now some traders may see further downside risk.
The first pattern on today’s chart is the bearish gap on January 25 following weak results and guidance. The EV maker has remained under the preceding low. Has new resistance formed below old support?
Second, TSLA was rejected at $200 on February 16. The resulting hanging man candlestick is another potentially bearish pattern.
Third, stochastics are retreating from an overbought condition.
Finally, moving averages are giving potentially negative signals. The 50-day simple moving average (SMA) had a “death cross” under the 200-day SMA earlier this month. The 8-day exponential moving average (EMA) has also remained under the 21-day EMA since early in the year. Those may indicate that sellers are in control over the short- and long-term time frames.
