A very strong day for Tesla stock price on Wednesday

The Tesla stock price gained 5.93% on the last trading day (Wednesday, 11th Dec 2024), rising from $400.99 to $424.77. It has now gained 6 days in a row. It is not often that stock manage to gain so many days in a row, and falls for a day or two should be expected. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 5.59% from a day low at $402.38 to a day high of $424.88. The price has risen in 8 of the last 10 days and is up by 25.59% over the past 2 weeks. Volume has increased on the last day along with the price, which is a positive technical sign, and, in total, 4 million more shares were traded than the day before. In total, 99 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $42.14 billion.

On Nov 29, 2024, it was reported that Wedbush gave TSLA a "Outperform" grade with a "hold" action.

The stock has broken the very wide and strong rising the short-term trend up and an even stronger rate of rising is indicated. For any reaction back there will now be support on the roof on the current trend broken at $394.43, a level that may pose a second chance to hit a runner. According to fan-theory $486.68 will be the next possible trend-top level and thereby pose a resistance level that may not be broken at the first attempt.

The Tesla stock holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general buy signal from the relation between the two signals where the short-term average is above the long-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $383.37 and $319.37. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Wednesday, October 23, 2024, and so far it has risen 98.82%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Volume is rising along with the price. This is considered to be a good technical signal. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD).

On the downside, the stock finds support just below today's level from accumulated volume at $350.00 and $328.64.There is a natural risk involved when a stock is testing a support level, since if this is broken, the stock then may fall to the next support level. In this case, Tesla finds support just below today's level at $350.00. If this is broken, then the next support from accumulated volume will be at $328.64 and $321.22.

This stock may move much during the day (volatility) and with a large prediction interval from the Bollinger Band this stock is considered to be "high risk". During the last day, the stock moved $22.50 between high and low, or 5.59%. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 5.39%.

The Tesla stock is extremely overbought on RSI14 (80). Normally this may pose a good selling opportunity but since the stock has broken the trend up, the chance for a major correction due to high RSI is very small as the stock will find support at the trend broken.Since the Tesla has been rising for 6 days in a row, the risk over the next couple of days has increased. As we cannot be certain with regards to the size of the reaction, we urge caution.

Tesla holds several positive signals, but we still don't find these to be enough for a buy candidate. At the current level, it should be considered as a hold candidate (hold or accumulate) in this position whilst awaiting further development.Due to some small weaknesses in the technical picture we have downgraded our analysis conclusion for this stock since the last evaluation from a Strong Buy to a Hold/Accumulate candidate.
