Will Tesla Reach $270?

  • Tesla stock is up as shares look to cap another volatile week with a decline
  • Shares closed above its 50-day moving average for the first time in weeks
  • Cappelleri suggests Tesla stock could run to about $270 if it breaks through the downtrend line at $220
  • Tesla stock has been down about 14% year to date but up 54% from its intraday 52-week low

Tesla stock has been experiencing a volatile week, with shares up 1.2% at $216.61 despite the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average dipping slightly. The electric vehicle maker’s stock broke through its 50-day moving average for the first time in weeks, which could indicate a positive trend. Market technician Frank Cappelleri of CappThesis suggests that if Tesla can surpass the $220 resistance level, it may potentially reach $270. However, this would be approximately 25% above its current price and might not happen before upcoming events like EV deliveries or earnings reports. Despite a 14% year-to-date decline, Tesla’s shares have increased by 54% from their intraday 52-week low in April.
