Analyzing Tesla: Why $550 Is Still in Play Despite a Potential Pullback to $380

Tesla (TSLA) is looking rough right now, and I'll be straight with you — it looks like we're headed for a lower low. 

Thursday was brutal, with the stock falling as much as 7.8% intraday. 

But here's where most traders get it wrong: They panic at the first sign of trouble without understanding how patterns really work.

The question everyone's asking is whether we just tap a lower low and bounce, or if we need to drop all the way down to the Market Roadmap line around $380. 

 
 
That's a significant difference — especially if you're holding leveraged positions like TSLL.

I've been following Zach Mains on X (aka Twitter) — someone I respect — and he's got a couple different paths mapped out. His primary warning right now? Tesla might need to hit $380 — right to the Market Roadmap line above — before it can go higher. So if you're extra bullish and heavily positioned, you need to hear this.


The Weekly Pattern That Still Has Legs

Here's what keeps me from hitting the panic button: The pattern on the weekly chart is still active. We've got something important working in our favor here.

We busted above the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level, and the target is $550. That's the roadmap, and it's still in play. 

But — and this is the part that'll save you from blowing up your account — this pattern can pull all the way back down to the low and then still run up to hit the $550 target.

The pattern doesn't actually break unless we see a move down to around $214, below the prior low. That's your line in the sand. Above that level, the pattern can still work even if it drops to the Roadmap line first.

I've seen this movie before. We run up to the prior high, stall out, drop back down to tap the Roadmap line, and then push on up to the target. It happens more often than you'd think, and we've got a double entry trigger pointing to that same upside objective.


Managing Risk When You're Heavily Positioned

If you're super leveraged in TSLA and it decides to test $380, that would be pretty devastating. You need to know your eject point before the market decides it for you.

Full transparency here — TSLA is my biggest position right now, bigger than Palantir (PLTR). So yeah, it'd be a bummer if it drops to $380. But I'm managing my risk with the understanding that the weekly pattern target of $550 remains valid even if we see that pullback.

The key is understanding pattern flexibility. 

Just because something can drop in the near term doesn't mean the longer-term bullish thesis is dead. But if you're in leveraged positions without a clear exit strategy, you need to fix that today. Know where the pattern actually breaks, and trade accordingly.

How the Daily Chart Setup Works

Here’s a more detailed description of how the pattern triggers:

1. The price breaks upward through the orange Market Roadmap line. 

2. Then the price goes up and down while staying above the line. Eventually, it comes down to touch the line again — this could take days, weeks or even months. 

3. Once it touches the line and starts moving back up, that signals an entry. 

I use Fibonacci levels for for profit targets and stop losses, and these two tools combined have helped me achieve a 77% win rate over the past six-plus years!
