Tesla rallied in late April after reporting quarterly results. But now some traders may think the bounce is fading.
The first pattern on today’s chart is the series of lower quarterly highs since last summer. (They’re marked in yellow.) Those may show the presence of a longer-term downtrend.
Second is the set of converging lows and highs over the last month. Bollinger Band Width has also narrowed as the triangle formed. Will the contracting price action give way to increased volatility? (Red arrows show previous moments when TSLA fell after similar squeezes.)
Third, the EV maker is trying to hold its 21-day exponential moving average. A break below it could suggest that bears are gaining an edge in the short-term.
