Almost a month ago (see ), I provided an update on Tesla (NASDAQ:) using the Elliott Wave Principle (EWP). Since then, the EV maker has gone through a 3-for-1 stock split, so all the share prices have been updated accordingly. Back then, I wrote:
“[I am] tracking a potential impulse higher, which means TSLA should now have bottomed for (green) minor-4 of (red) intermediate-iii/c of (black) major-1, rally to around $330, correct to ~$290, and then rally again to ~$365 (green/red path, which is the ideal impulse path). If this path completes along those lines, it means TSLA will do one last Primary wave-V up to ideally $530+, as per the assessment in October [see ].”
Tesla’s stock price topped the day after my article came out at $315 and has since fallen back to $266 earlier this week, only to rally back to the current high 290s.
Thus, the objective EWP-based path I shared almost a month ago has filled in rather well, with only a few nuances: (green) W-5 topped ($315 vs. ~$330), and (red) W-iv has likely bottomed ($266 vs. ~$290), with (red) W-v of (black) W-1 now most likely underway.
See Figure 1 below:

If this week’s low holds, TSLA can complete the impulse higher and, as said in my previous update, “In that case, the next larger pullback will be an excellent low-risk buying opportunity.” That pullback will be a W-2 and after that come W-3, 4, and 5 with an ideal upside target of $350.
Conversely, TSLA will have to drop below $265 from current levels to tell me this option is off the table.
However, for now, the stock has followed the ideal EWP-based path, and I must continue to favor a bullish outlook until proven otherwise.
