Tesla's Supercharger Team was recently laid off. We discuss what this means for the company on today's TMC Podcast streaming live at 1PM PDT. You can watch on X or on YouTube where you can participate in the live chat.
As is to be expected on a substantial macro up day when TSLA has been trending down - significant bear raid pre-market and then lots of early spoofing/capping.
Macros working against TSLA, of course. However, there are some very large (10,000 plus shares each) sell orders that have been keeping TSLA below $174. Either MMs playing their games or "someone" is selling today.
This morning's "target" is $190 (yesterday's was $200). When the stock dares to run over $190, the MMs start working their magic to bring it down (as they just did very easily). Technically the stock is oversold (RSI is 28.02 as I type (below 30 is technically oversold)). Hopefully, TSLA can get...
This stock has become disconnected from reality and has just become a trading vehicle because of all the extrinsic news (noise?). Watching the Level II quotes one can easily see the manipulation and how the stock is getting pinned at certain prices and then brought down by MMs and shorts...
There is heavy spoofing going on this afternoon. Lots of moderately large orders being put in and pulled to cap the price. Very obvious (and, at least for today, easy) manipulation.
Wow, MMs and shorts really fighting $200 (there were some very large sell orders at $200 that quickly drove TSLA back below $200 when it tried to get above for a bit). In addition to keeping TSLA below the psychologically important $200, they also likely really want to keep it below the lower...
Manipulators fighting hard to keep TSLA below the mid-Bollinger Band ($297.65). Large sell orders (14,000 - 15,000 shares) being put in to drive down the price as TSLA approached the mid-Bollinger Band.
Surprise, surprise, TSLA just got over $703, started to move towards $704 (twice actually), and in comes the spoofing/capping. Relatively small sell orders (500 - 600 shares) are being used to cap. Yes, macros are challenging today. But there is a clear pattern that can be seen when watching the...
Same tricks as yesterday (and so many other days) being used to spoof/cap. The magic # right now is around $704 (seems they are protecting $705) - every time TESLA approaches or dares to exceed $704, the capping through spoofing starts - sell orders of 1,000 and 1,100 being used very effectively.
Even though TSLA popped above it a bit ago, $735 clearly being targeted - lots of spoofing, a sell order for 1,000 shares has been doing the trick (once again).
$744/745 seems to be what "they" are defending for the last 30 plus minutes. Very little effort needed to cap at the moment. Spoofing orders to sell from 300 to 1,000 shares have been successfully capping the stock.
Maybe stating the obvious, but "they" will likely do all they can to ensure TSLA does not go back above $900 today. Macros, of course, helping them this morning.
As always, would love to see them get steamrolled.
TSLA is a heavily manipulated stock. Things usually do not make sense when it comes to the TSLA stock price. Just the thought that Elon is selling is being used to bring the stock down. Does not mean he is selling. "They" will use anything they can to drive the stock down and to cap any attempt...
Craig Irwin, TSLA perma-bear, about to come on CNBC. They bring this guy on every time there is a significant downturn in TSLA. The Wall Street scam on steroids. Success rate 46% and he is in the top 10% of analysts overall. Shows you what a joke most analysts are...
As $1,090 was yesterday, $1,080 seems to be this morning's magic number for our friendly neighborhood spoofers. Low volume making their game child's play. Someone is using a sell order of 1,000 shares (being put in and pulled) to hold the price down.
What a surprise, TSLA stuck around $1,100. 😜
Volume is so light that the spoofers are having no trouble capping TSLA (very small sell orders that are being put in and pulled are working). Would be great to get some volume to steamroll them.
Spoofing this morning is off the hook. They are pulling out all stops - as volume comes in, they are using larger orders - now sell orders of up to 2,500 being used. Every attempt to run back up is being heavily capped.
Spoofing came right back as soon as TSLA got above $1,095. Sell orders of 1,300, 1,200, and 1,000 being put in and pulled and effectively capping the stock below $1,100. Just need a bit of volume to come in to take out the spoofers.
Here comes CNBC - Craig Irwin, TSLA perma-bear, on talking the stock down. Why give this guy airtime - he has a price target of $250?!!!! He has been wrong for years. He is almost as bad as Gordon Johnson.
At least with what I have, no. But there are some consistent patterns that can be seen - maybe stating the obvious, but most likely computer programs set up to spoof.
Tremendous spoofing at $770 just now - a number of relatively large sell orders (from 1,100 - 1,300) brought TSLA down very quickly. There is a 1,000 share sell order at $770 being put and pulled, which is effectively capping as I type this.
Surprise, surprise, MMs pinning TSLA below $835 this morning. Max Pain happens to be $835.
Capping/spoofing happening right at $835 (order for 1,000 shares being put in and pulled at $835). Hopefully, "they"get steamrolled.
The spoofers are out in force already this morning. Pre-market, sell orders of 700, 800, 900, and 1,100 being used to hold the price below $810 (one in particular - an order to sell 900 shares at $809.99 is just sitting there (another to sell 1,100 at $809.40 was just put in and pulled to drive...
TSLA down almost 22X the overall markets at the moment. Pretty crazy how much in the grips of the shorts TSLA is these days. Of course, lots of spoofing this morning.
As TSLA broke just above $810, a sell order at $810.41 for 2,600 shares capped the stock, and quickly drove TSLA below $810. DOJ needs to step up its investigation.
Obviously, lots of games being played today with TSLA (basically down 4x the markets on a % basis (has been 5x at times today)). Just a small sample of what "they" have been doing all day: there was significant spoofing as TSLA tried to run back a bit about 20 minutes ago. Big push down as TSLA...
Tremendous spoofing this a.m. at $915 (couple or a few large sell orders (1,000 shares) being put and pulled at $915). I guess the shorts are not frightened of the DOJ's focus on their tactics...
Lots of pre-market games going on. Sell orders as large as 5,200 shares being used to spoof. At the moment there is a sell order for 1,100 shares at 898.50 that is being put in and pulled to cap the stock.
Max pain currently $920. Surprise, surprise, surprise, they are trying to keep TSLA below $920 this morning through their usual tactics. Do not get me wrong, I am not complaining about an up day during a very challenging macro day. But, still . . ..
A considerable number of large sell orders at $930.50 (in the 1,000 to 5,000 share range). Seems like someone trying to cap before the analyst from Credit Suisse comes on CNBC. Unlike last week, this game does not seem to be working today.
Did not last long, however. The attempts to cap this morning have been getting steamrolled. They tried again at $905 and got quickly taken out. The afternoon will be interesting if volumes wane a bit (as they almost always do), as they will obviously have much more power to spoof.
Elon likely should not have been on the call yesterday. It set expectations for a big announcement for the call, which just never happened. It took the focus off of what was a very good quarter and what was good forward guidance. We are paying the price for that today. Hopefully, once the market...
And here come the TSLA bears on CNBC. Like clockwork - this a a rinse-and-repeat for CNBC. And, CNBC has picked any negative sound bites from Elon from yesterday's earnings call and basically played them on a loop.
"They" desperately want to keep TSLA below $900. We often see these types of games with TSLA after earnings. As others have pointed out, it can take a couple or a few days for the market to digest the TSLA earnings. What the reality might be is that is takes a couple or a few days for the MMs...
