A Technical Look at Tesla Stock

view original post

Tesla stock is usually volatile after earnings. Technical analysts can help fundamentally minded investors work through the inevitable ups and downs.

“Tesla’s last [resistance] was near $440, and its most recent low point was around $370,” says CappThesis founder and market technician Frank Cappelleri. “[Tesla stock] would need to trade above or below that range for anything to materially change from a technical standpoint.”

Cappelleri isn’t making a fundamental call on Tesla stock. Market technicians look at stock charts to get a sense of where investors have bought and sold shares in the past. Changes in trading behavior can signal changes in investor sentiment.
