Tesla printed a 3.56% down day into Thursday's close at 373.72, rejecting the EMA cluster at 387.75–390.42 and the 0.382 fib at 391.06 in one move. Price has lost the monthly pivot at 380.09 and now sits on the micro 0.5 fib of the April rally. The level that decides the next leg is 391: reclaim and the April highs at 409 come back into play; fail to recover and 357 is the magnet.
Daily Chart
TSLA daily chart, 24 April 2026 — 21/50/200 EMA, RSI(14) with signal MA, MACD(12,26,9), ATR(14), Volume with 20-day MA, Monthly Pivot Points, Fibonacci retracement from the 2025 low at 215.41 to the December 2025 high at 499.63, and Visible Range Volume Profile. Rejection on Thursday landed precisely at the triple confluence of the 0.382 fib (391.06), 200 EMA (390.42) and 50 EMA (387.75).
Trend and Structure
The long trend is down. From the December 2025 all-time high at 499.63, price has printed a clean sequence of lower highs — 440.23 in late January, 436.35 in mid-February, 416.38 in March and 409.28 a week ago — connected by a descending trendline that currently sits in the 410–412 region. The April rally from the 337.24 low to 409.28 looked promising, but Thursday's -3.56% session has now closed below all three daily EMAs (stacked 390.42 / 387.75 / 377.30 in textbook bearish order) and back below the April monthly pivot at 380.09. That is a break of the short-term structure built over the last fortnight, not a continuation of it.
Key Levels
The level that matters most is 391.06 — the 0.382 retracement of the 2025 advance. It sits within pennies of the 200 and 50 EMAs, making the 387–391 band a triple-confluence ceiling. Below, the 0.5 fib at 357.52 aligns with the March swing low at 352.14 to form the next meaningful support zone.
| Type | Level | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Fib 0.236 | 432.55 | Feb rejection level; first major resistance above the recent highs |
| Monthly R1 | 408.04 | Sits on top of the 409.28 swing high and the descending trendline |
| Resistance | 391.06 | 0.382 fib + 200 EMA (390.42) + 50 EMA (387.75) — triple confluence |
| Monthly P | 380.09 | Lost on Thursday's close — now acts as intraday ceiling |
| EMA 21 | 377.30 | Short-term mean; reclaim argues for a retest of the 387–391 cluster |
| Current | 373.72 | Last close — sitting on the 0.5 fib of the April swing (373.26) |
| Support | 368.39 | Thursday's low; loss here opens the March range |
| Support | 361.83 | Late-March swing low |
| Fib 0.5 | 357.52 | Major macro retracement, aligns with March low at 352.14 |
| Monthly S1 | 343.80 | One ATR below the 352 support; tested band if 357 fails |
| Support | 337.24 | Year-to-date low, 7 April |
| Fib 0.618 | 323.98 | Deeper retracement target if the April low breaks |
Macro fib anchored from the spring 2025 low at 215.41 to the December 2025 high at 499.63. The 0.382 retracement at 391.06 has now flipped from support to resistance on Thursday's rejection; the 0.5 at 357.52 is the next structural decision point.
Momentum and Volume
RSI(14) at 47.73 sits just below the 50 line and still above its signal MA at 46.28 — bearish bias but no oversold condition yet, meaning there is room to fall before any mean-reversion argument kicks in. MACD tells a subtler story: the line is at -0.12 with the signal at -4.02 and the histogram a positive 3.90. That is a bear-recovering configuration — MACD is about to cross zero from below for the first time since February, but the cross is being challenged by Thursday's candle. ATR(14) at 15.16 puts a realistic daily range in play, so a move from here to 357 could happen in two sessions without anything unusual. Volume at 93.92M printed 34% above the 20-day average of 70.02M on a red day — distribution, not drift, and the heaviest down-day volume since the 7 April low.
Bull Case
A daily close back above 391.06 reclaims the 0.382 fib and the 200/50 EMA cluster in one move, which would neutralise Thursday's rejection and reopen the 408.04 monthly R1 / 409.28 swing high as the first objective. Clear 410 — which would also break the descending trendline from the December ATH — and the 432.55 0.236 fib is next. The MACD histogram turning positive while the line challenges zero is the leading tell to watch for this outcome.
Bear Case
A daily close below 368.39 confirms the rejection and opens the 361.83 late-March swing low first, with 357.52 (0.5 macro fib) and 352.14 (March low) forming the real support zone beneath. A break of 352 puts the 343.80 monthly S1 and 337.24 April low in play as a measured move, and a loss of 337 reopens the 0.618 retracement at 323.98 — a level that has not been traded since the summer of 2025.
Trade Scenarios
