TSLA is trading below its 200-day MA ($403.32) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. With an RSI of 72.7, momentum has stretched into overbought territory — short-term pullbacks are common from these levels. The 1-year return of +13.3% compares to +20.5% for SPY (trailed the market by 7.1%). The current 27.3% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
