Tech analysis of Tesla by Maksim Artyomov
On D1, the shares grew rapidly inside the ascending channel and renewed the all-time high. Now, as it often happens after such growth, the price is correcting. The aim of the pullback might be a broken resistance level - $910.
Then the price might test the support level, bounce off it, and head for the high. An additional signal supporting growth after the correction is the 200-days Moving Average that keeps growing. In the nearest future, a breakaway of $1,094 will also signal the continuation of the uptrend.
