Here are some of the factors that could weigh against the stock of the electric vehicle maker:

Tesla shares are seeing a negative momentum, having declined in all but one session of the week that ended March 10.
Wolf Research analyst Rod Lache downgraded the stock from Outperform to Peer Perform, citing macro pressures stemming from the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank.
Risk aversion could come into play as traders look ahead to the week’s key economic data and the continuing inflow of headlines on SVB’s collapse and the ramifications.

The stock could find support around Friday’s intraday low of $168.44. Any break below the level could accelerate the sell-off.
