Though in the midst of a 3 day uptrend, gaining a total of 1.52%, ($6.89), Yesterday's session suggests run might be coming to an end — pronounced bearish market sentiment ensured that Elon Musk's EV company made a notable 2% loss yesterday, declining $3.98 and ultimately closing at $193.81.
After hitting an important low of $108.1 approximately 2 months ago, Elon Musk's EV company has bounced back 82.97% since.
Despite being in the red so far in the current trading session, Tesla peaked above its 3 day Simple Moving Average around $197.15 — typically an early indicator of a new bullish trend beginning to emerge. Tesla's lower Bollinger Band® is at $188.94, indicating that the asset has overextended to the downside and could, therefore, bounce back as buyers look for bargains. Tesla could begin to recover as it approaches significant support, now $2.6 away from $191.21. Dipping below could be an indication that further losses are ahead. In contrast, a "bearish engulfing" pattern — a scenario when a larger red candle engulfs a smaller green candle, at the top of a prevailing uptrend. Typically this is a signal of lower prices in the near term.
Overall, looking at the technical analysis landscape, it seems Tesla might start pointing upward in the short term.
