TSLA Honey Ticking Bull Trap!TSLA has a beautiful big ars bear flag! While it should have broken down to trigger a short trade, it decided to Honey Tick people right into a Trap!
It formed a perfect MEGAPHONE in wave 3 up that has now CRACKED! This is a much juicer short setup with the potential of collapsing from here and taking out the entire bear flag and MORE!!
First, we need a lower low and then a lower high and off we GO BABY!!!
Don't Get HONEY TICKED!
As I always say, never EVER!! Invest in toxic people like Elona. They always blow themselves up in the end. It's in their nature!

$TSLA - BEAR FLAG $174 PT, Medium Term PT $138 at Double BottomBear Flag is setting up nicely like the previously bear flag. Length of Pole - Measured downside move to a price objective of $174. There is also a major gap that hasn't been filled. The stock will eventually fill the gap with a support at a double bottom of $138. Overall, Tesla is more bearish and than bullish. Short on further downside. Fundamentally, it is trading at an egregiously overvalued Forward PEG of 6.53 and a forward PE of 81 while growth is expected to be stagnant YOY with no concrete evidence of renewed growth for the next year. Even if you assume the company gets back to 50% growth next year, its current valuation on forward PEG and PE would still be overvalued and would need time to grow into its valuation.
Prediction to Earnings on TSLA (Closing gap slowly, then retest)TSLA is being tossed aside as all attention goes to NVDA and semiconductors. TSLA has been experiencing slow growth relative to the S and P. These are my thoughts on TSLA price action up to earnings in mid April. This is a prediction that is longer in time frame compared to my usual predictions, so take with a massive grain of salt. I'll update as more information comes up near earnings.
We see a channel formed starting from the previous earnings. With it's current growth speed, I expect filling the gap early March to the $210 range. I believe attention will continue into semiconductors, and bring TSLA along with them to this point. Since we hit new ATHs with the S and P and NVDA recently, this seems like a good estimate as to when we will see a market correction. Momentum into the S and P seems that it will carry it for a few weeks. The TSLA options market seems to align with this, since we have P/C ratios between 0.5 through 0.75.
After this upward leg, I expect investors to brace for earnings in mid-late March, early April. With no new exciting news coming from the EV space, I think investors will expect a similar results to the previous earnings report. This is where we may begin seeing price action back towards previous lows, potentially retesting $185 to $190 prior to earnings.
Post earnings: It's easy to think we will have a similar result as the previous quarter, since we don't have news, but the EV sector is looking to slash jobs and cut costs. This may help TSLA keep a larger margin that may potentially be lost by Tesla car price cuts. With more information leading up to earnings we may be able to refine this.
As always, significant market news can change things to unpredictable places, so I'll be keeping an eye out and updating.
Tesla can't catch a break (light?)! My thoughts on Week of 2/6Just when we thought TSLA was headed for a rebound, we were caught in a series of news that wasn't too hot for our favorite automaker: Everything from brake light recalls to billion dollar compensations rejected. In this Idea, I will detail my thoughts of the week, news that affected the stock, and my analysis for next week.
1/29 LAST WEEK:
The graph shows we've been on a downward channel for TSLA price action. Our purple line within the channel was our expectation from prior to last week (From Idea: ).
What I was not expecting was a continuous downtrend after Wednesday. Affecting news for this downtrend were:
Fed rate decision (priced in), and ruled out March rate cut.
Musk and $55 billion pay package
Possible relocation to another state because of above
Tesla dropped from "Magnificent Seven"
At a point on Friday, TSLA completely decoupled from SPY price action: While SPY was up 1% hitting another record high, TSLA was punished at -3%, until making a quick recovery to the top of the channel at the 0.5 fib mark at $187.90.
2/6 and on:
News, fed meetings, and price action/options flow lead me to believe we will have another choppy week.
2.2 Million vehicle recall on warning lights that are too small. (Doesn't seem like a big deal, but the word "recall" scares investors. )
Over 2400 Steering Complaints Escalated to investigation. (Yahoo Finance)
Tesla settles $1.5 million CA hazardous waste lawsuit (Yahoo Finance)
I also think that the Tesla relocation to Texas would be bearish due to the amount of work and opportunity cost associated to relocating.
With the laundry list of bad news, I don't think we will break for lower lows this week. I think we may have a sharp dip early in the week to the 0.236 fib line of $184. Throughout the week, we have several traditionally hawkish fed members speaking. Investors on the other hand seem poised with a bullish sentiment:
Options expiring 2/6 (per Barchart)
Put/Call Volume Ratio: 0.79
Put/Call Open Interest Ratio: 0.69
With the average call strike price sitting around $192, average put price sitting around $181.
The orange line shows my prediction to the price action based off all the above: An early dip (potential retest to $180), followed by breaking the channel sometime middle of the week, chopping through the rest of the week and ending on a higher note.
I will update with any news that I think may be relevant to TSLA.
Massive Recovery 1/29 and thoughts for TSLA through WeekA huge surprise with a massive recovery today, ending the day with a cup-handle formation, and there is plenty of upside left for TSLA. We may even potentially close up the gap to $208; but I believe it is dependent on a few factors. Here are my thoughts on price action for TSLA this week:
Possibility #1: Run up to 0.5 Fib level $195.41 Tuesday. (Orange arrow)
With major earnings coming (such as MSFT/GOOG on Tuesday) I expect the entire market to go up in anticipation to positive earnings. Since TSLA just bounced off a major support of $180, TSLA is a candidate to move faster than the market (such as today with a 4.3% run vs the S&P500 under 1%.)
We may also have a run up compounded with an anticipation to positive news from Wednesday's FOMC meeting (buy the rumor sell the news.) If given positive news (anything not already priced in) we may even have a run up to closing the gap at $208 later in the week.
Possibility #2: Choppy trading through Tuesday until FOMC (purple line) for the following reasons:
Per Yahoo Finance: "Markets see rates unchanged in January and Predict 48% probability of a rate cut at the next meeting in March." If some expectation is priced in, we may have a low volume day until further confirmation.
Since we just hit ATH on S&P500, investors may be more reluctant in trading and we go side ways until the FOMC meeting. If nothing major comes from the FOMC meeting, we may have continued sideways trading for the rest of the week, bouncing off $188.
I believe possibility 2 is a bit more likely, but not much more than possibility 1. Coming off a recent ATH on S&P500 we may see a retracement overall tomorrow, but options flow on TSLA indicate to me that we are bullish for the week. There is a strong possibility that the market has already priced in rate cuts, so this may lead to a sell the news scenario (we may bounce down to $185-$190 before moving to the next level.)
As of writing, options expiring 1/30 on SPY put/call volume ratio sits at 1.18, open interest ratio at 1.47. (Figures from Barchart)
TSLA options expiring 2/2 have volume put/call ratios at 0.87, open interest ratio at 0.74. (Figures from Barchart)
S&P Futures at -0.025% in the PM. 1/29.
In the news:
First Neuralink chip has been implanted for the first time. (This may bring positive views on Elon and by proxy to TSLA.)
Capital Expenditure of Tesla may decrease from $10 Billion from current fiscal year to $8-10 Billion by fiscal 2025 and 2026 (per Yahoo Finance.)
Two Tesla executives to sell stock, up to 281,116 and 115,500 respective shares (per Yahoo Finance.)
Lastly, my own plan: I may or may not take a position depending how we open in the AM. From the graph, the lines you see to the left of the cup-handle were my previous possibilities I set up from last week. Friday, I was expecting TSLA to retest it's lows and I took some put positions through the weekend. (See ) Sold them immediately in the AM today when a strong bull signal was built, and went calls on SPY (should have gone calls on TSLA instead with that massive recovery, but hindsight is 20/20) I don't plan on holding anything through FOMC for personal risk tolerance reasons. I am a bit reluctant because TSLA has the potential to swing hard, so I may have relatively small positions. This week will be crucial for knowing if we will try for breaking through the upper channel at $240 in the medium to long term (see: ) -OR- we bounce back down to $180.
Those are all my thoughts, I'll update this if I see any interesting news that I find relevant to TSLA this week.
𝗧𝗲𝘀𝗹𝗮 𝗨𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲: $TSLA Daily. 180 Support Lost5 waves down all the way to ~100 to end 2022. Huge bounce all the way to 200dma and key resistance area that has rejected. 180 support failing ... looks like we'll move towards the gap fill at 145
Through the first 2 months of 2023, retail investors have bought ~$10B worth of Telsa, more than any other stock/ETF (compared to ~$4B of $SPY). What could go wrong? 🤓

TSLA - Elliott Wave Analysis - CorrectionHi All,
I'm a long term Tesla Bull, but bearish short term, the price action suggest short term bearish price action.
Reasons
- No Catalyst until July Delivery Numbers
- No S/X Deliveries yet
- Nasdaq still in correction mode and has a room to come down, pressure on tech/growth stocks.
- Elon's tweets about FSD subscription(impacts financials) and FSD V9 release dates(impacts no financials on short term, helps perception which is good) are still in the air with no factual date of release.
- Elon's sudden move on BTC adoption, then again sudden reaction on it's rejection, creates only confusion and markets don't like it, but this will have only short term ~1 day impact on trading.
PS: This is just my opinion based on price action and macro level economics. Please be careful picking your trades.
The mother of all wedges, TSLA to MARSTesla has been repeatedly moving with the same pattern, the wedge.
Now, a massive wedge is forming, meaning a massive move is coming.
Tesla's future is bright, I'll definitely be adding in this consolidation area.
What do you guys think about Tesla's future?
Because for me I am extremely bullish!
Short TSLA to the Trend after S&P inclusion.Final move on TSLA is coming; Going back to the longtime trend.
Joining S&P TSLA will become part of this huge volatility complex.
We will see a correlation between TSLA and the index.
The News flow will be absorbed by real traders; Implied vol will be unable to rise as a consequence of this product
..... and call options will finally bleed.
TSLA & SPCE longIll be out using my spce winnings in the north ga mountains :) in the meantime, ive parked my funds in shares, and options contracts in these companies.... as well as NIO, but refer to my earlier idea for more on my feelings on that matter.
Goodluck friends trade patient, trade your plan, trade smart
TSLA printing a nice wedgeThis here is a really nice wedge that Tesla is printing. I think the stock will range now for most of the year.
Without Corona, I am very sure, we would be at prices of over 1000 USD now, but as it is, the stock must range and stabilize for a while.
Then, at the end of 2020, we will either see a large pump, or a dump, and the later pumps.
This will of course highly depend on the economic situation and how the Corona crisis will develop until then.
Knowing Tesla, I wouldn't be surprised if it would dump again, just to kill many shorters again, who will then short again like crazy.
Then, the ensuing rally to 1000+ will again, as always, totally destroy them, hahahaha. Every time again, just too funny to watch.
In any case, this wedge is an excellent opportunity to enter a longterm trade.
[Edutertainment] MUH BAGS: Tesla bagholder quotesWhy even bother analysing companies? I'm really starting to think looking at investors psychology and the noise around a company is all we need.
The time has finally come. Tesla has finally reached the euphoria turned denial phase, the baggy phase. I'm really starting to want to short now even with high short interest. I have no access to options and less leverage than FX & Futures (thanks for protecting me against the risk of making money). I'll have to look into it. If I have to lock my capital to make less returns than usually then what's the point.
Still, I am interested in this, and I keep learning, one day I'm sure I'll be more diversified and will be trading stocks.
We are in the typical not sure how to call it, the typical cycle phase thing.
Next step is retail investors "buying cheap". The institutional FOMO buying bubble has popped, and I don't expect a drawn out distribution like 2017-2018 because institutions do not baghold like retail.
Witness how media & Hollywood that were praising him and had a big role to play in the success of the stock, are going to do a 180 and hate on him and work to destroy the share price and turn EM into a public enemy.
So we are now closer to the typical process which is described in the textbooks with back to normal, institutional selling followed by retail bagholding.
Can go fast can not. Considering using a stop loss and a time stop.
Here are a few quotes that we see in these situations:
Long one but really good, and very typical:
Dumb money at its finest.
Ok that's enough.
I'll leave the final word to Elon, the "anti science conspiracy nut":
"What I find most surprising is that CNN still exists" - Elon Musk
