TSLA is trading below its 200-day MA ($406.08) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. With an RSI of 70.4, momentum has stretched into overbought territory — short-term pullbacks are common from these levels. The 1-year return of +2.0% compares to +20.4% for SPY (trailed the market by 18.4%). The current 31.4% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
