$TSLA back to $148-155 before correction is overDespite the bounce over the last few days, TSLA's price action is still bearish overall.
I think it's likely that we find resistance here or at $290, and then work our way back down to the lower support levels at $148-155.
I think once we get down to those levels, it'll be a good long term buy and we can see price go back to $700+.

NASDAQ:TSLA nearly hit its 200dma and key resistance area (~288–292) after a roughly 20% post-earnings squeeze, and as long as it stays below that level, it risks retesting the long-term uptrend line that has marked major lows twice since COVID.

TSLA, the king of all meme stocksYesterday, Q1 earnings call. Stock misses earnings by 30% on already reduced expectations of 0.38. Had it been earnings expectations from a week before (which was 0.434), it would've missed by around 45%.
Still, the stock manages to rebound from mid 220s up to 257 in a single day (around 10%). It's impressive, but still looms a ceiling just up ahead (258-260) which I think is the perfect opportunity to short. Will be invalid if it manages to push up above 267.6 which is the local resistance line and a major historic resistance also.
That said. I think the odds are good in shorting around 258-260. Expecting a fall towards low 200s and even towards high 170s.
Breaking: Tesla Up 6% In Premarket Albeit Q1 Profit Drops 71%Shares of Tesla (NASDAQ: NASDAQ:TSLA ) stock surged 6% in early premarket trading on Wednesday amidst missing expectation, Q1 profit drops 71%.

Since hitting a record high in December, Shares of Tesla (NASDAQ: NASDAQ:TSLA ) have lost about half its value reducing its market capitalization by more than $500 billion, largely on concerns that brand damage could hurt sales for a second straight year.

While Tesla is less likely to be affected by global tariffs than legacy automakers, it still expects an outsized impact on the fast-growing energy storage business that uses battery cells from China.
Technical Outlook

TSLA Weekly Options Trade Plan 2025-04-17TSLA Weekly Analysis Summary (2025-04-17)
Below is an integrated analysis of the reports and market data:
──────────────────────────────
MODEL REPORTS – KEY POINTS
• Grok/xAI – Price and moving averages on both 5‑min and daily charts are below key EMAs; RSI and MACD point to current bearish momentum. – Notable technical support at about 239.75 with resistance above near 242. – The options chain shows heavy put activity at the $240 strike (premium about 0.67), and max pain is at 245, although that level is less relevant for a near‐term (0DTE) trade. – Recommendation: Trade the TSLA $240 PUT at an ask of 0.67 at the open, aiming for roughly a 100% gain and using about a 50% loss as a stop.
• Gemini/Google – Technicals on short‐term and daily timeframes are mixed: the daily chart is clearly bearish while some 5‑min indicators hint at stabilization. – Conflicting signals (including the max pain pull toward 245 and falling VIX) result in not having a high‑conviction directional bias. – Conclusion: “No trade” is recommended today because the conflicting indicators raise the risk of getting whipsawed.
• Claude/Anthropic – Technical analysis on both 5‑min and daily confirms a moderately bearish bias (price well below major EMAs, RSI below 50). – However, one suggested trade was a TSLA $237.50 PUT at an extremely low premium (0.13) which seems less attractive given the preferred premium range. – In essence, the model sees downside potential but selected a strike a bit further out from the current price.
• Llama/Meta – A moderately bearish setup is noted, with the technical picture similar to the others on very short‐term charts. – However, the model also flags the influence of max pain at 245 and concludes that a naked call (for example, at the $240 or $242.50 strike) could profit if the upward “max pain pull” works in play. – Ultimately, this view contrasts with the put trades favored by others.
• DeepSeek – Confirms the overall technical picture: price is below key averages, with bearish momentum evident on both 5‑min and daily charts. – Emphasizes the high open interest on $240 puts and the near-term support at 239.75. – Recommends buying the TSLA $240 PUT at its 0.67 ask price for this weekly (0DTE) option. ────────────────────────────── 2. AREAS OF AGREEMENT AND DISAGREEMENT
Agreements: – Most reports note that TSLA is trading in a moderately bearish state with price below the relevant moving averages and key support levels near 239.75. – There is broad recognition that options activity is concentrated around the $240 strike—especially on the put side, where volume and open interest are very high, underscoring bearish positioning. – Technical indicators (RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands) on short‑term and daily charts lean toward bearishness despite some very short‑term signals of stabilization.
Disagreements: – Gemini/Google sees too many conflicting signals (including the upward pull implied by max pain) and hence recommends no trade, while the majority of the other analysts view the setup as tradeable. – Llama/Meta is open to trading a naked call (capitalizing on the max pain influence) whereas Grok/xAI, DeepSeek, and to a lesser degree Claude/Anthropic advocate for a bearish put trade instead. ────────────────────────────── 3. CONCLUSION & TRADE RECOMMENDATION
Overall Market Direction Consensus: Most opinions point to a moderately bearish bias for TSLA on a near-term, 0DTE weekly horizon. Even though conflicting signals (like max pain toward 245 and some stabilization on very short timeframes) introduce uncertainty, the weight of the technicals and put side open interest lean toward downside pressure.
Recommended Trade: Trade a single‑leg, naked PUT (weekly option) on TSLA.
Trade Parameters: – Instrument: TSLA – Strategy: Buy a TSLA $240 PUT – Expiration: 2025‑04‑17 (weekly, 0DTE) – Premium: Approximately $0.67 per contract (slightly above the preferred range, but justified by high liquidity and clear technical support) – Entry Timing: At the open – Profit Target: Around 100% gain from the entry premium (i.e. exit near a $1.34 premium) – Stop‑Loss: Roughly a 50% loss at about $0.33 per contract – Confidence Level: Approximately 65% – Key Risks & Considerations: • The mixed signals (especially Gemini’s caution and the max pain theory) mean price could quickly reverse if TSLA rebounds near 245. • Very short‑term trading (0DTE) carries risks related to rapid time decay and volatility spikes. • A failure to break important support (around 239.75) would warrant an early exit. ────────────────────────────── 4.

May TSLA, CRSH and burn in Gehinnom - My Short Against TSLAToday, I will be fully committing to a long-term mutli-asset short against TSLA, albeit using a non-conventional approach.
Rather than simply short selling TSLA shares and going into debt, I plan to hold, maintain and build positions in CRSH, TSLQ, TSLL, and TSLY using a combination of share and option spread in both directions. Taking advantage of the speculative, high volatility nature of this massively overpriced stock and reinvesting those short term profits, whenever the technicals and fundamentals are in favor of a short.
It's important to remember, that short positions should be generally be short term, and maintaining them is more about managing risk, position size and dynamic hedging than it is about fundamentals, technicals or even sentiment on the company and people
For example, I currently have Bull Put Spread on TSLL, which is a bullish leveraged ETF on TSLA, the credit from this position funds the purchase of shares in CRSH, which is 1x short on TSLA and pays a monthly dividend. Depending on the price movement and the greek changes on the options, I can close the short put legs or exercise the long puts, going short shares on a leveraged bullish etf... Furthermore, I've done the math and the dividend from TSLY or CRSH can offset either the losses from the options on the short end of the trade or pay margin maintenance on CRSH or TSLQ whenever I choose to increase/decrease the pressure of the overall long-short portfolio .
I won't go into further specifics on the proprietary short portfolio I plan to build against TSLA over the next 4 years, however I will state this is not purely emotional. Using the Kelly Criterion, the ETFs mentioned, the dividend as well as options spreads will give me a very wide net to cast in order to chokeout this Neo-Nazi company to the ground.
When it comes to "hidden fundamentals" and macro economics related to a TSLA Short, it's entirely possible that the US trade war may result in the German Giga factory being shut down entirely . German Criminal Code (§ 86 and § 86a StGB) could be applied to Elon Musk as well as his employees at the German TSLA plant as it explcitly prohibits dissemination of Means of Propaganda of Unconstitutional Organizations, Use of Symbols of Unconstitutional Organizations. This law explicitly prohibits the sharing of people, groups, and organization utilizing pro-nazi salutes such as the one display by Elon. Video of using these symbols to glorify unconstitutional organization weren't just shared widely on the propaganda site X, but were likely shared among TSLA employees in Germany...
There is also the very serious issue of Elon Musk has directly funding far-right political organizations, including the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, which is under surveillance by German domestic intelligence for suspected extremist activities. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has publicly condemned Musk’s association with such groups, describing it as "completely unacceptable" and a direct challenge to Germany’s democratic values. Any additional threats of sanction against Germany, the EU may only serve to motivate German politicians to enforce these laws against TSLA. This factory has production rate of 5,000 vehicles per week in March 2023, which if you've ever read Elon's book, you'd understand the strategic importance of this goal and this factory. Beyond this, there are in fact several other smoking guns in the German factory, including but not limited to the use of unlicensed commercial software, used to operate TSLA's commercial hardware. Brownie points if you can spot this in the public video "Flying Through Giga Berlin". Though this video is 2 years old, it is never the less, video evidence of TSLA's violations of multiple German laws beyond the one mentioned above. Though it remains to be seen exactly to what extent these issues, if any have been resolved to date.
I have no obligation to disclose or update people on this position. However, I plan to post most article on these assets throughout the year.

Yes, there will be some buying opportunities on the way down. Ultimately the result will be the same.
GAME OVER!
TLSA takes a breather, a deep oneTrend Barrier is broken.
Close below the Weekly Center-Line.
There's mostly a reaction to such events, so I expect a slight weekly pullback to the upside before a complete break to the PTG1.

Tesla's Unhealthy Rise Could Correct Tesla's Unhealthy Rise Could Correct 🚨
Tesla has experienced a significant and rapid price rally recently, creating a potential imbalance in the market. However, this chart highlights a few key areas that traders should watch for potential corrections:
1️⃣ Gap Formation: A noticeable gap formed during the rally (highlighted on the chart). Gaps often act as magnets, and markets tend to revisit them over time. This suggests the possibility of Tesla retracing to this level.
2️⃣ Resistance Zone (~$420): The price is currently testing a resistance zone after the recent pullback. If Tesla fails to break and sustain above this level, it could trigger further bearish momentum.
3️⃣ Potential Targets:
First Target (~$360): If the bearish move begins, this level, marked as a prior area of support, could act as the next stopping point.
Second Target (~$316): A deeper correction could bring Tesla back to a more balanced price range, aligning with longer-term support zones.
Sliding In December: Is Tesla (TSLA) Losing Its Spark?
As always, we like to keep it clean and simple, with technicals and analysis that's easy to see and understand. Let's get into it:
Losing all its spark? Nah. But, we see a correction for TSLA happening this December, starting within the next 1-2 days. Why?
- It’s currently bumping into price levels we last saw in 2022, which served as a strong ceiling back then and might trigger profit-taking now.
- It's well into a Wave 5 Elliott Wave, signaling exhaustion in 4h/8h/1D timeframes.
- Overbought.
Additionally, many are noting that Tesla’s valuation feels stretched compared to its earnings and growth prospects. Analysts point out that its current price may rely on overly optimistic assumptions about future market share, tech breakthroughs, and profitability. Some also highlight that competitors are catching up, which could eat into Tesla’s premium valuation. Meanwhile, skeptics argue that the stock’s recent run has simply gotten ahead of fundamentals, and a correction might be due as more realistic expectations set in.
We see a 10% slide to the $360 range.
Let's see what December brings.
Be Alert.
Trade Green.

Tesla at a Crossroads: Breakout to $271 or Breakdown to $191Good morning, Trading Family!
Tesla’s price is idling in neutral, stuck between a potential breakout to $271 or a breakdown to $191. It’s like watching Elon flip a coin—will it blast off like a SpaceX rocket, or will the bears run out of juice and send it rolling downhill?
This kind of consolidation feels like the calm before the storm. Traders, keep your seatbelts fastened—whether it’s full throttle to the upside or a hard brake toward lower levels, this chart promises some action ahead.
Stay patient and focused. Trade what you see, not what you hope for.

TSLA four-hour chart shows a potential Gartley harmonic.NASDAQ:TSLA is forming a potential bearish Gartley on the four-hour chart, which would result in bullish price action on the C to D leg, as long as point C on the chart holds. Point C on the chart also corresponds to the daily 200 SMA, and is right above the psychological $200 level, which adds confluence to the long entry at $202.50.
$TSLA Ready to go bullish?
First of all, the price has broken above the downtrend line, and started to moving in a uptrend market.
However, according to the trading volumes, more chips are bought in the top area, meaning that there's strong resistance above the current price.
Therefore, I think the price might continue to fluctuated below the resistance area in a short term period.

TSLA daily chart shows clean channels for trading this week.NASDAQ:TSLA has clean channels on the daily chart, both to the upside and downside, for trading this week. TSLA closed just below the daily 10 SMA, which is the next key supply it must reclaim before going higher and potentially testing the daily 325 SMA and daily 50 SMA just above that. If it can reclaim the daily 50 SMA, along with NASDAQ:QQQ building a strong base above its own daily 50 SMA, then TSLA will be in a strong position to push higher to the daily upper Bollinger Band, while continuing higher on the C to D leg of the Gartley harmonic discussed previously.
Alternatively, if QQQ continues to reject the daily 10 SMA and loses the daily 50 SMA demand, TSLA may lose its daily 200 SMA. This would invalidate the Gartley harmonic and TSLA would trade down to the next daily demand, which is the rising daily 100 SMA. I continue to be positioned long into next week, because I believe the upside potential is stronger on this name; however, it is important to always be prepared for both bullish and bearish scenarios in order to execute with confidence during the trading day.
