Unraveling the $TSLA Trade: The Setup
Earlier this year, Tesla’s stock price shot up from the lows, posting an impressive +100% gain in only six weeks, before hitting a temporary ceiling just above $200. After such a meteoric rise, a period of price consolidation (correction by time) is typically expected.
Over the following months, we noticed that $TSLA began forming a double bottom pattern that spanned 15 weeks, and with a depth of about 30%. This “W-shaped” double bottom pattern is often a reliable signal of an upcoming bullish trend reversal.

What is a Double Bottom Chart Pattern?
Is Double Bottom Pattern Bullish or Bearish?
The “double bottom” is a powerful and reliable bullish chart pattern that often signals an upcoming bullish trend reversal. The pattern is effective on multiple time frames and can be easily identified by a few key points.
How to identify a double bottom pattern?
– An initial drop in price
– A rebound (bounce)
– Another drop to the same or similar level as the first drop
– Finally, a second rebound
The double bottom pattern essentially forms a “W” shape, signaling a potential bullish reversal after a downtrend. This pattern emerges when the price reaches a support level twice and rebounds each time.
The “bottoms” are the two low points that the price hits before bouncing back—support levels where the stock price stops falling because demand exceeds supply. It’s a point where buyers start stepping in again, seeing value in the stock at these levels.
In a classic double bottom pattern, the second low is slightly lower than the first. This tends to shake out the “weak hands,” or short-term traders who set their stops near the previous low. When these stops get triggered and these traders exit, it removes a significant amount of potential selling pressure (supply), allowing the price to rebound faster.
How to Identify Double Bottom Pattern Entry and Exit Points
Spotting a proper double bottom requires a keen eye and patience. After the first bottom, the price will rally a bit, but then stall and start to decline again. The second decline should stop at roughly the same level as the first bottom—note that an undercut below the prior low (“stop run”) is common. This second drop and subsequent reversal confirm the double bottom pattern.
The “neckline” of the double bottom pattern is the peak between the two bottoms. A break above this line confirms the pattern, signals a bullish trend reversal, and is often the ideal buy point for swing traders.
On the weekly chart of $TSLA below, we labeled the neckline as “buy point”—the swing high between the two lows (just below $210):
$TSLA Double Bottom Setup from Entry to Exit: The Winning Result
On June 1, we alerted members of our swing trade alerts service that $TSLA triggered our entry at $208.49 (breakout above the “buy point”). Tesla never looked back thereafter, and the powerful double bottom pattern began showing its awesome potential. Riding along with the broader market uptrend, $TSLA exploded +30% higher in just 4 weeks.
When the price surged +5% on June 20, we seized the opportunity to raise our stop on partial position size to $273. This enabled us to lock in an exciting +30% gain on $TSLA if the stop triggered, which happened the next morning.
