On Sunday evening, Benzinga asked its followers on Twitter what they’re buying at the open on Monday. From the replies, Benzinga selected one ticker for technical analysis.
@BillyJamesG1, @Anujkalra05, @transposn and @craigjleblanc are buying Tesla, Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA).
Despite having to navigate over multiple obstacles since the COVID-19 pandemic began, Tesla has continued to ramp up its deliveries and on April 20, the electric vehicle company printed record first-quarter earnings, which beat consensus estimates handily.
Tesla continues to work toward increasing its production and recently announced a second shift has been added at its newest Gigafactory in Berlin.
On Tuesday, Tesla’s Shanghai Gigafactory will bring its output back to pre-lockdown levels, according to Teslarati report. Tesla’s Shanghai Gigafactory has been forced to shut down operations several times over the past couple of months due to record-level COVID-19 cases being reported in the country.
Despite the good news, Tesla has plummeted about 35% since printing its last financial statement and has been trading in a heavy downtrend since April 5, when the stock topped out at $1,152.87. Although Tesla appears likely to bounce soon, to at least print another lower high, the stock has a lot of work to do to give confidence to bullish traders looking for more than just a quick scalp.
