Active Market Analysis
Trade Hypotheses
12/13 | TSLA bearish past $234.30
Reason
There are two reasons TSLA’s stock is down as of pre-market hours on 12/13:
- TSLA will be recalling more than 2 million cars over autopilot safety concerns
- TSLA announced their Model 3 RWD and Long Range vehicles will no longer qualify for a $7,500 federal tax credit starting 12/31
I placed my entry below yesterday’s low in order to confirm that there will be no opportunistic buyers who may push the price back up prematurely
12/13 | NVDA bullish past $476.69
Reason
NVDA has tested this support zone from November 22 - November 30, when it broke through and it became a resistance zone. The resistance zone was tested multiple times from December 7 - December 12 and is showing signs of breaking past this to become a support zone again. This will depend on the PPI report and if it does, I will enter a long position.
