Tesla stock price up more than 5.34% on Friday

The Tesla stock price gained 5.34% on the last trading day (Friday, 6th Dec 2024), rising from $369.49 to $389.22. It has now gained 3 days in a row. It will be exciting to see whether it manages to continue gaining or take a minor break for the next few days. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 5.04% from a day low at $370.80 to a day high of $389.49. The price has risen in 6 of the last 10 days and is up by 14.6% over the past 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day by -3 million shares and in total, 77 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $29.79 billion. You should take into consideration that falling volume on higher prices causes divergence and may be an early warning about possible changes over the next couple of days.

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

The stock lies in the upper part of a very wide and strong rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good selling opportunity for the short-term trader as reaction back towards the lower part of the trend can be expected. A break-up at the top trend line at $391.09 will firstly indicate a stronger rate of rising.Given the current short-term trend, the stock is expected to rise 58.15% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $449.80 and $618.51 at the end of this 3-month period.

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 $357.60 and $303.43. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Thursday, November 14, 2024, and so far it has risen 25.08%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Volume fell during the last trading day despite gaining prices. This causes a divergence between volume and price and it may be an early warning. The stock should be watched closely. 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 has average movements during the day and with good trading volume, the risk is considered to be medium. During the last day, the stock moved $18.69 between high and low, or 5.04%. For the last week, the stock has had daily average volatility of 3.37%.

The Tesla stock is overbought on RSI14 and lies in the upper part of the trend. Normally this may pose a good selling opportunity for the short-term trader, but some stock may go long and hard while being overbought and the RSI is still moving upwards. Regardless, the high RSI together with the trend position increases the risk and higher daily movements (volatility) should be expected. A correction down in the nearby future seems very likely, and it is of great importance that the stock manages to break the trend before that occurs.

Tesla holds several positive signals and is within a strong rising trend. As the old saying says, "Let the trend be your friend.'". We therefore consider it to be a good choice at these current levels and we are expecting further gains during the next 3 months.
