Tesla crushes delivery numbers while tech bleeds — ride the EV momentum
Created
Thesis
Tesla delivered 480,126 vehicles last quarter, crushing even the most bullish analyst estimates and signaling a potential recovery from previous sales declines. At the exact same time, the broader tech sector is under pressure: the Dow hit record highs while the Nasdaq fell, driven by a selloff in chipmakers over memory supply-glut fears and general AI spending fatigue. When a widely held mega-cap like Tesla posts a massive positive surprise while the rest of the tech sector bleeds, it often becomes a magnet for capital. Tesla's positive catalyst gives investors a clear reason to buy, while the rest of the tech complex offers nothing but uncertainty.
Strategy approach
Build a rule-based momentum strategy entering long TSLA on D1 when the stock closes up >2% on a session where QQQ (Nasdaq) closes red. Require TSLA to be trading above its 20-day exponential moving average. Exit on a 5% trailing stop or a maximum 10-day hold.
