TSLA Share Price Rises Sharply amid News of Musk's Increased Stake in the Company

According to media reports, Elon Musk has increased his stake in Tesla by more than one and a half times — previously, the billionaire owned approximately 13% of the shares, now he owns 20.5% of Tesla. And earlier it was reported that Musk wants to increase his stake in Tesla to at least 25%.

At the same time, the TSLA share price rose sharply in yesterday's trading by more than 6%, while the S&P 500 stock market index increased by “only” +0.6%.

The TSLA stock chart today shows that:
→ the price has overcome the psychological mark of USD 200 per share;
→ the price has overcome the resistance level of USD 195 per share;
→ a bullish reversal pattern inverted head-and-shoulders has formed on the chart.

The situation gives hope to the bulls in a disadvantageous situation, because:
→ TSLA stock price is in a bearish trend (as shown by the red channel);
→ the last quarter report disappointed investors — and the price formed a wide bearish gap at the end of January.

How determined are the bulls, will they be able to break the trend? This will show their ability to overcome resistance levels:
→ 206.0 – in the area of the upper border of the gap;
→ median line of the descending channel;
→ SMA line (100) pointing down.
