Tesla, Inc. has started to reclaim momentum after what appears to have been a textbook Elliott Wave Wave 2 correction. The recent decline from 500 down to 340 shook out bullish sentiment across the market, but structurally the pullback fits well within a larger bullish impulsive cycle rather than a completed top.

The key technical development is that TSLA has now broken above the important 409 resistance zone and is trading around 427, signaling that buyers may be attempting to launch a new impulsive advance.

If the move from the lows is indeed the beginning of a larger Wave 3, the implications become significant because Wave 3 is typically the strongest and most aggressive leg in Elliott Wave structure.

The setup currently looks like this:

The breakout above 409 matters because it represents a reclaim of the prior consolidation structure and confirms that TSLA is beginning to invalidate the bearish continuation scenario.

A standard Elliott Wave projection uses the 1.618 extension of Wave 1 measured from the Wave 2 low.

That projection currently targets:

340 + 1.618(500-340) \approx 599

That places the standard Wave 3 target near 600.

If TSLA enters a true momentum-driven Wave 3 fueled by AI enthusiasm, robotaxi narratives, energy expansion, or broader market risk appetite, extended Fibonacci targets become possible.

Additional upside projections include:

Those larger extensions are not uncommon for TSLA historically. The stock has repeatedly demonstrated the ability to enter vertical momentum phases once key resistance levels break.

The psychology behind this setup is important. Wave 2 corrections are designed to convince market participants that the prior uptrend is over. The decline from 500 to 340 created exactly that environment — fear, bearish headlines, and heavy skepticism. But once resistance is reclaimed and price begins accelerating higher, sidelined traders often rush back in, helping fuel the Wave 3 expansion.

From a technical standpoint, the most bullish development now would be:

If TSLA can clear 500 decisively, the chart could transition from recovery mode into full price discovery momentum again.

On the bearish side, failure to hold above 409 could indicate the breakout was premature and that TSLA may need additional consolidation before a sustainable Wave 3 can develop. But as long as the stock remains above the recent Wave 2 low near 340, the broader impulsive structure remains intact.

The bigger picture is that TSLA continues to behave like a high-beta momentum asset rather than a slow-moving automaker. That distinction matters because Elliott Wave structures tend to work exceptionally well in emotionally driven momentum names where crowd psychology dominates price action.

Right now, TSLA appears to be entering one of those phases again.
