Tesla Stock (TSLA) Update: Can Bulls Keep The Uptrend Alive?

Editor’s note:  There is a typo in the 2nd paragraph:  July 23 should read June 23.

Shares of Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) have been screaming higher in 2017.  But a recent 2-week swoon has Tesla stock bulls suddenly on their heels.

On July 23, Tesla (TSLA) hit an all-time high of 386.99. Just 2 weeks later, the stock sits at 313.22 (down over 19 percent from those highs set on July 23).

Some perspective: Tesla is still up 47 percent this year!

Let’s turn to the Tesla’s stock chart (see below) to check in on the price action…

As you can see, Tesla hit a key Fibonacci extension level before heading lower. Using the high of 2014 and the low of 2016, we can project the 161% Fibonacci price target (points 1 & 2). This proved to be powerful resistance.

Tesla is now testing rising channel support (point 3). What happens here will be very important for the stock, in my humble opinion.  I think bulls need to make a stand here.
