Despite a slight price bounce, TSLA remains under bearish momentum, with a 77% probability of trading between $387.58 and $407.74 short term.

Operational gains and autonomy advances fuel bullish sentiment

Tesla delivered 480,126 vehicles in the second quarter, surpassing market expectations by approximately 18%, which signals robust realized demand and provides a strong operational backdrop for the stock, according to Blockonomi. This positive surprise in output may buoy sentiment and underpins projections for higher automotive revenue. Alongside production strength, Tesla has begun piloting its Robotaxi service in Miami, a limited-area deployment that marks a tangible step forward in the commercialization of autonomous driving capabilities, as reported by Foxnews. The company is also advancing internal testing for a wheelchair-accessible autonomous vehicle and its Cybercab at Gigafactory Texas, according to Teslarati, broadening its product scope and underscores the pace of innovation within its autonomous initiatives.

Bearish momentum persists as TSLA confronts technical resistance

On the H1 chart, TSLA trades below the MA-20 at $402.17 and the MA-50 at $402.38, with the price also under the daily MA-200 at $417.95. Immediate resistance is marked by the Ichimoku Kijun at $401.84. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) currently signals a Sell, while the Average Directional Index (ADX) is neutral. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 38.4 (Sell), while the Stochastic RSI is oversold and the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) also indicates a Sell. Bull/Bear Power shows seller dominance intraday, and the Awesome Oscillator continues to confirm downward momentum.

Downside risk prevails unless resistance breach shifts momentum

In the next two to three trading days, TSLA is anticipated to trade within a volatility band from $387.58 to $407.74. There is a 23% probability of an upward move, while chances of decline are higher at 77%, suggesting sellers are in control. The most likely scenario is that price consolidates within this range, unless an upside breakout above immediate resistance occurs. A move below the lower support band would open the door to further declines.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees the Q2 delivery beat as a powerful signal of sustained demand strength at Tesla. He believes recent advances in Robotaxi deployment and autonomous tech validate the brand's innovative edge. While technicals are weak and sellers dominate short term, Karapetjanc stays constructive due to robust fundamentals and positive product pipeline signals. In his view, tactical upside is possible on a breakout, but range-bound consolidation remains likely for now. "Despite short-term headwinds, I remain optimistic on Tesla’s prospects given its operational delivery and clear progress in autonomous mobility."

Previously it was reported that Tesla's stock could face elevated volatility as the market responds to earnings season and shifting investor expectations. With recent delivery outperformance and progress in autonomous initiatives juxtaposed against prevailing technical weakness, traders should watch for a potential inflection should the price decisively break out above resistance, as this could signal a shift from consolidation to renewed momentum.
