Tesla is trading around the $350 area, and this is becoming a very interesting level for traders. My overall view is cautiously bullish above $345–350, but I would not chase the stock blindly after its recent recovery. Tesla has received a fresh sentiment boost from progress on its robotaxi strategy, including Nevada approval for up to 5,000 robotaxis, while reports indicate Austin is moving toward broader unsupervised operation and a Cybercab launch is approaching. These developments have helped rebuild optimism around Tesla’s AI and autonomous-driving story.

The fundamental story is still divided. On the positive side, Tesla delivered record Q2 revenue of approximately $28.2 billion and continues investing heavily in AI, robotics, energy storage, autonomous driving and manufacturing.

However, profitability remains a major concern: Q2 operating margin fell to around 1.4%, automotive gross margin excluding regulatory credits was approximately 16.3%, and free cash flow was negative. This means traders are currently paying a premium for Tesla’s future AI, robotaxi and Optimus potential rather than simply valuing the company on current automobile earnings.

That is exactly why the $350 level matters. If buyers can defend this area and push price back above the recent intraday resistance around $357, the next important upside zone becomes $365–370. A sustained breakout above $370 could shift momentum toward $380–390, while a clean break above the psychological $400 level could create a much stronger momentum move toward $420–425.

Wall Street targets remain extremely divided, which shows how differently investors value Tesla’s future autonomous and robotics businesses.

My primary resistance levels are therefore $357, $370, $390, $400 and $425. The first battle is around $357 because a break above the recent high would show that buyers are willing to pay higher prices. Above $370, the chart would become more constructive. Above $390, psychological momentum could accelerate, and $400 becomes the major breakout level. If Tesla can establish itself above $400 with strong volume, my bullish extension target would be around $425–450, while an exceptionally strong AI/robotaxi-driven rally could eventually challenge $475–490.

On the downside, I would watch $345–350 as the first support zone. Losing $345 would weaken the immediate bullish structure and could send price toward $335–338, which is another important technical area. Below that, $325 becomes the next major support, followed by $310–300 as the deeper correction zone.

The $300 area is particularly important psychologically because a decisive break below it would indicate that the recent recovery has failed and sellers are regaining control.

For RSI, the recent available technical reading was around 41.4, which indicated that Tesla was not in an overbought condition at that stage.

With price now around $350, I would interpret the RSI setup through the direction of momentum rather than treating one RSI number as a permanent signal. If RSI moves above 50 and continues toward 60, that would support the bullish breakout scenario. If RSI fails near 50 and turns lower, it would warn that the current bounce is losing momentum. A move above 70 would indicate strong momentum but would also increase the probability of a short-term cooling period.

Trader sentiment is currently mixed-to-bullish, rather than universally bullish. Bulls are focusing on robotaxis, Cybercab, FSD, Optimus, energy storage and Tesla’s ability to transform from an EV manufacturer into an AI and autonomous-technology platform. Recent Nevada robotaxi approval and reports of unsupervised Austin operations have strengthened that argument.

Bears, however, point to Tesla’s enormous valuation, weak margins, negative free cash flow and the gap between the company's current automobile economics and the future value being assigned to AI and robotics. One extremely bearish analyst, Gordon Johnson of GLJ Research, recently maintained a sell view with a $24.86 target, showing just how extreme the disagreement has become.

The Optimus story is another major sentiment driver, but traders should remain realistic.

Recent reporting suggests JPMorgan expects Optimus production to begin in coming months with commercial sales potentially moving into the second half of 2027, later than some earlier expectations. Therefore, any major Tesla rally based on Optimus needs actual production and commercialisation evidence, not just promises.

My preferred trading strategy at $350 is to avoid entering a full position immediately. For an aggressive trader, $345–350 can be treated as the initial accumulation zone if buyers continue defending it. The safer momentum entry is a confirmed break above $357–360, preferably supported by increasing volume. If price breaks $370, a second momentum entry can be considered, with $390 and $400 becoming the next major targets.

My three risk levels are SL1 $342, SL2 $335, SL3 $325. SL1 is for a tight momentum trade, SL2 allows more room for normal volatility, while SL3 represents the deeper invalidation level for the broader bullish setup. Traders should not blindly use all three on one position; they represent different risk-management approaches depending on entry and position size.

For profit targets, my plan is TP1 $370, TP2 $400, TP3 $425. If Tesla breaks $425 with strong volume and the robotaxi/Cybercab narrative continues improving, I would consider $450–490 an extended bullish zone rather than immediately treating it as the base case. From $350, reaching $400 would represent roughly a 14% upside, $425 around 21%, and $450 around 29%.

My base-case forecast is therefore $380–400 first, followed by $425 if the breakout becomes established. My bullish scenario is $450–490, but that requires strong market conditions, continued autonomous-driving progress and convincing buying volume. My bearish scenario begins if Tesla loses $345 and especially $335; in that case, $325 and eventually $300 become increasingly important downside levels.

The next plan is simple: hold $345–350, watch $357, confirm above $370, then target $390 → $400 → $425. If $400 breaks decisively, momentum traders can look toward $425 and potentially $450. If price instead loses $345, do not fight the trend; wait for $335 and $325 to see whether buyers return.

My final view is moderately bullish above $345–350, strongly bullish above $370, and aggressively bullish above $400. Tesla remains one of the most polarising stocks in the market because traders are not simply pricing today's car business—they are pricing the possibility of robotaxis, AI, FSD, Cybercab and Optimus becoming enormous future businesses. Recent autonomous-driving developments are giving bulls a fresh catalyst, but weak margins and extreme valuation mean risk management remains essential.

Final Trading Bias: Bullish above $345–350

Current Price: $350

Support: $345–350 / $335–338 / $325 / $300

Resistance: $357 / $370 / $390 / $400 / $425

RSI: Momentum confirmation needed above 50

SL1: $342

SL2: $335

SL3: $325

TP1: $370

TP2: $400

TP3: $425

Bullish Extension: $450–490

The key message for traders is simple: $350 is the decision zone. Hold this area and reclaim $357–370, and Tesla can build a path toward $400 and potentially $425. Lose $345 and especially $335, and the bullish setup becomes much weaker. For me, the best approach is not to chase Tesla—it is to wait for confirmation, control the downside, and let the price action prove whether the next major move is actually beginning.#TSLA
