Tesla technical view

The share price of Tesla has broken out of a triangle consolidation. The breakout has, however, moved the share into overbought territory. Traders of the triangle breakout might hope for a pullback towards the 240 support level for long entry, targeting a move back towards resistance at 268. Should the share price instead move to close below the 220 support level, the bullish indications would be deemed to have failed.

Twitter technical view

The share price of Twitter currently trades in a short-term range between the 38.90 (support) and 40.80 (resistance) levels.
