Tesla Forms Cup and Handle — Breakout Above US$471 Could Confirm Uptrend

  • $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ has formed a cup and handle pattern, a bullish continuation setup that often signals potential for further upside once confirmed.

  • The cup represents a long consolidation and recovery phase, while the handle shows a short-term pullback before potential breakout.

  • Immediate resistance lies near US$471, which marks the previous high and the neckline of the cup pattern.

  • Support is seen around US$418, which forms the lower boundary of the handle.

  • A confirmed breakout above US$471 would complete the cup and handle pattern, potentially signalling the start of a new upward leg.

  • If the breakout occurs with strong volume, it would further validate bullish sentiment.

  • Until the breakout happens, the price may continue consolidating within the handle range of US$418–450.

Scenario 1 — Potential Upside Confirmation

  • If Tesla closes above US$471 with positive momentum, traders expecting short-term strength may refer to a Long DLC ( $TESLA 3xLongSG261006(TSYW.SI)$ ) as a way to gain leveraged exposure to the underlying move.

  • A Long DLC rises in value when the underlying share price increases on the same day.

  • However, traders should note that DLCs are short-term trading instruments and their returns are based on daily performance, which means holding them over multiple days may result in compounding effects.

Scenario 2 — Pullback or Rejection at Resistance

  • If Tesla fails to break above US$471 and price reverses lower, traders anticipating short-term weakness may refer to a Short DLC ( $TESLA 3xShortSG280330(RLSW.SI)$ ), which moves in the opposite direction of the underlying stock.

  • A Short DLC increases in value when the underlying share price falls on the same day.

1 Trln Pay Package Approved! Tesla Sell the News: Hold for Long Term?
On November 6, more than 75% of shareholders voted in favor of Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s new compensation package. Under the plan, if Musk meets a series of milestones over the next ten years, he will gradually receive about 423.7 million restricted stock units (RSUs) — up to USD 1 trillion. Can Musk realistically hit these ambitious milestones in the next decade? Will this massive pay package truly align Tesla’s growth with shareholder interests After the approval, is Tesla a “sell the news” trade — or a long-term conviction hold?

    This is already trading at 2040 valuations, IF everything works according to their never-ending pump promises.
