Tesla: Red on the YearThe S&P 500 is up about 23 percent this year, but Tesla has turned red again.
The first pattern on today’s chart is the $248.48 level were TSLA ended 2023. The EV maker managed to tick above that level in July and late September. But last week it returned decisively below it.
The stock also made a lower monthly high, which is potentially consistent with a downtrend.
Next, traders may see space to the downside. The late-August low and 200-day simple moving average are both near $202.50. Below that, chart watchers may eye the early August low of $182 and the June low of $167.41. The 52-week low is down at $138.80.
Given the strong performance in so many other names, TSLA’s weakness may stick out like a sore thumb. That may create further risks given this point on the calendar. Will investors, sitting on gains in other stocks, look to harvest tax losses in TSLA? Could it also fall prey to bearish “window-dressing” as yearend approaches?
