Chart of the Day - Monday, October 25th, 2021

Today’s Chart of the Day was shared by Ian McMillan (@the_chart_life). It's a daily candlestick chart of Tesla ($TSLA) over the past 2.5 years. This was easily the most talked-about stock in today's session as it broke out to an all-time high and joined the $1 trillion market cap club. This wasn't just any old breakout, it was a breakaway gap, which is when price gaps above a significant resistance level and continues higher. Breakaway gaps are often found at the beginning of a new trend. It's also worth noting that the stock has formed a solid 10-month base to launch higher from. To be fair, it may be hard to trade this breakout given today's 12% move. But after going sideways all year, this looks like the beginning of a new leg higher for the world's most contested automaker.
