SCTR Report: Unlocking TSLA’s Potential—What Every Investor Needs to Know Now

Tesla (TSLA) reported better-than-expected earnings after the close on Wednesday. This sent the stock price soaring, which was enough to put TSLA stock in the lead in the Large Cap Top Up StockCharts Technical Rank (SCTR) Report category. It was also the most actively traded S&P 500 ($SPX) stock.

Tesla Stock Analysis

TSLA’s stock price has struggled since November 2021. After hitting a low in January 2023, TSLA stock has been choppy—rising till July 2023, then pulling back, climbing, pulling back, climbing, and falling on the unimpressive Robotaxi day (see weekly chart of TSLA below).

After the strong Q3 earnings report, the stock is climbing again. Will it bust through its previous high to continue its uptrend?

TSLA’s stock price on the daily chart is much more erratic than the weekly chart, with many up-and-down price gaps.

The recent earnings report shows a massive breakaway gap up in price. The SCTR score spiked from around 41 to over 90. TSLA’s stock price has also moved above its upper Keltner Channel, which has started to turn upward. This indicates significant strength in the stock and the beginning of an uptrend.

One day doesn’t make a trend, so using a momentum oscillator such as the StochRSI when using Keltner Channels can help determine whether the uptrend will continue. The spike in TSLA’s stock price caused the StochRSI to jump from oversold to overbought territory in one day—in this case, it went from 0 to 1, which is unusual.

Trading TSLA Stock

A significant jump in a popular stock such as TSLA will tempt investors to get in on the price action. But as a smart investor, do you follow the crowd or wait for a pullback before jumping in? I would watch the StochRSI or any other momentum indicator of your choice, wait for a pullback, and then look for momentum to kick in before jumping into the stock.

From the weekly chart, it’s clear there’s lots of upside momentum in TSLA stock. But the way the stock has been trading lately could mean a lot of choppiness ahead. If this is the beginning of a short-term uptrend, you could wait for a pullback to the upper Keltner channel before jumping in. The stock could do what it did in early July, or pull back to the middle line (20-day exponential moving average), similar to what it did in October.

The Bottom Line

I would add TSLA to my Watchlist ChartList, which I use to add charts I’m considering trading. If you haven’t done so already, you should be sure to install the StockCharts ChartList Framework to organize your ChartLists better.

Monitor TSLA’s chart regularly. I would have this one up on my screen throughout the trading day, because it could be a profitable short-term trade or one that is worth holding on to for a longer period. For a fast-moving stock like TSLA, it’s best to follow the momentum. Identify your entry and exit levels, apply strict money management rules, and follow your plan. Whether you choose to do a short-term trade or a longer-term one depends on your risk tolerance level.
