Tesla Holds Support as Relative Strength Turns Positive

Long
NASDAQ:TSLA   Tesla
After months of weakness, Tesla may be charged for another move to the upside.

Some interesting patterns have recently appeared on the electric-car maker’s chart.

First is the false breakdown below $550 on May 19. This was followed by a rebound back above the 200-day simple moving average (SMA). Interestingly, it was TSLA’s first test of the 200-day SMA since the dark days of March 2020.

Next, MACD turned positive yesterday following a month in the red.

Third, TSLA is starting to outperform the broader market. This chart shows our Smart Relative Strength indicator, comparing price action to the S&P 500 over the last 10 days. Notice how it just eked above zero yesterday.

The developments come at an interesting time for the ESG group in general. A court in Holland just ordered Royal Dutch Shell to reduce carbon emissions. Ford Motor also raised its electric-vehicle goals. EV stocks and solar energy have paused this year following big rallies in 2020, and now TSLA could be signaling a return to the industry.
