Q & A

What was Tesla's closing price in the video, and how did it compare to the broader market?

Tesla closed down approximately 1.25% at $346.50, while the broader market went up, highlighting that Tesla often moves independently from general market trends.

What short-term support levels should Tesla bulls watch according to the video?

Short-term support levels to watch are around $345, with today's low (~$344) being a critical level. Losing this support could indicate bearish momentum.

What is the significance of the bearish engulfing candle mentioned in the video?

The bearish engulfing candle is a strong reversal pattern. Its relevance depends on whether Tesla closes below today's low (~$344), which would confirm short-term bearish risk.

What are the potential upside targets for Tesla if it maintains support?

If Tesla maintains support above the low 350s, the potential upside targets are $365, then $380s, and potentially reaching $400 if bullish momentum continues.

What medium-term indicators suggest that Tesla remains bullish?

Tesla’s MACD, EMAs, supertrend, and the rising triangle pattern all suggest a medium-term bullish bias as long as the trendline around $326 holds.

How did Tesla respond to short-term options activity mentioned in the video?

Short-term put buying in Tesla was observed, which coincided with an intraday reversal, indicating active market sentiment and hedging around $352.

What key levels should traders watch in QQQ to assess market health?

Traders should watch mid-570s as support for bullish control. Falling below 560 could trigger a retest of previous market lows and signal broader market weakness.

What do the divergences in MACD and RSI indicate about the broader market?

Bearish divergences in MACD and RSI suggest that while the market is rising, momentum is weakening, which could lead to sideways or choppy trading rather than immediate declines.

How does the video explain the reliability of bullish patterns?

The video explains that bullish patterns, like rising triangles or bull flags, indicate higher probability of upward moves but do not guarantee a bullish outcome; confirmation from price action is required.

What is the impact of CPI data on Tesla’s short-term trend according to the video?

CPI data, scheduled for Thursday, could influence short-term momentum. Breaking below key support around $344 before or after CPI could trigger bearish sentiment.

What does the video suggest about Tesla’s movement relative to its own bubble versus the broader market?

Tesla often moves in its own bubble and does not always follow the broader market. Even when the market is at all-time highs, Tesla can remain below previous highs and behave independently.

Why is it important for Tesla not to fill the gap mentioned in the video?

Filling the gap would imply weakening bullish momentum. Maintaining above the gap strengthens the bullish move and confirms that buyers are still in control.
