Today's losses sting, but context matters. The $32,936 single-day decline feels rough in the moment, yet zooming out reveals a portfolio that's still well above its early-year lows. As trader strengthPlan noted in a recent post, staying convicted on Tesla means riding out the bumps while keeping eyes on the bigger trajectory.
What the chart shows
The portfolio now sits at $2,119,292, down 1.53% today. After hitting bottom near $1.3M in early 2025, it climbed through spring and surged toward $2.3M by late summer before pulling back slightly. Resistance appears around $2.3M (the September peak), with support near $2.0M. The pattern of higher highs and lows since June suggests the uptrend is alive—today's dip looks more like a breather than a breakdown.

Why Tesla slipped and what's next
The selloff wasn't unique to Tesla. Rising bond yields and a stronger dollar hurt growth stocks broadly, while EV competition and margin worries triggered near-term selling. Some investors also locked in profits after the recent run-up.
Looking ahead, quarterly delivery numbers, energy revenue, AI progress (FSD, robotaxi, Dojo), and new factory announcements could shift momentum. A concentrated TSLA position brings both risk and reward—investors might consider stop-losses below $2.0M, options hedges, or selective diversification into EV suppliers or AI plays.
