TSLA chart above QQQ chart above Thursday saw a week Nasdaq that just got weaker as the day came to an end, but TSLA outperformed every stock on my stock app by closing up 1.48% while the Nasdaq was down 1.08%. Not bad. One likely cause for the optimism was Tesla preparing to register Full...

TSLA chart above QQQ chart above The biggest number to keep in mind for Wednesday is that percent of TSLA selling tagged to shorts was a super-high 65%. Even though pre-market shorting pressure brought TSLA down to 174, the stock rallied momentarily to 178 before the sledge-o-matic was turned...

TSLA chart above QQQ chart above No need to spend a lot of time on Tuesday's TSLA trading. Last Friday, the stock closed more than $4 above this Friday's maximum pain of 175. You can see the pushdown getting underway by 7am and really accelerating with market open. With Nasdaq performing in...

TSLA chart above QQQ chart above On Friday TSLA closed just $1.74 above max pain and just 76 cents below the 180 call wall. Coincidence? Nope, not a chance when it happens almost every week like this. Percent of selling tagged to shorts was 59%, suggesting that even this 3%+ climb required...

Elon made it clear that he wants a path to reaching a 25% voting position (or higher) in Tesla before committing to giving Tesla a prime position in developing AGI. He can maintain a control position of X.ai and so that's where the AGI work will be happening in the near term. Nonetheless, Tesla...

No, just no. Most TSLA investors can see through the short-term issues that have been affecting TSLA and most can see the long-term remarkable strengths. Short-term, China has been a difficult auto market for everyone, but if you look at Roland Pircher's charts on x.com, you can see that Tesla...

Folks, Unfortunately due to the prolonged dip in TSLA that is being supported to 58% or higher percentage of selling tagged to shorts for over three weeks, FUDsters are very plentiful on this investing site right now. In case you forgot, FUD stands for: * FEAR * UJNCERTAINTY * DOUBT Those...

TSLA chart above QQQ chart above Ready for a wild ride? Consider Thursday's trading. Both TSLA and QQQ were up in pre-market trading, due to the excellent Nvidia ER Wednesday after hours. Of course we saw an immediate Mandatory Morning Dip for TSLA as market trading began because this is the...

TSLA chart above QQQ chart above Consider what just happened to TSLA. After hours on Tuesday, TSLA descended from 186.60 to under the big 185 call wall price even though there was no significant news to prompt such a move and the Nasdaq was definitely rising after hours. Then Wednesday...

TSLA chart above QQQ chart above Congratulations longs, TSLA gained 6.66% on Tuesday, compared to the Nasdaq's gains of 0.22%. Naturally the mainstream media will go searching for a news story to explain the big climb. Some latched onto the 13,800 Tesla vehicles insured in China during the...

TSLA chart above QQQ chart above Long story short: Nasdaq went up, option sellers didn't want TSLA following Nasdaq so they shorted the "sugar" out of TSLA again during Monday's Mandatory Morning Dip, and brought the price down to a nickel below max pain (also a call wall) of 175. Once...

TSLA chart above QQQ chart above Congratulations longs, TSLA managed to outperform not only max pain (170) but also the option sellers Friday target of 175 to close at 177.46 on Friday. Since May 17 was the end of the big options expirations for a while, I suspect that the market makers may...

Percent of TSLA selling tagged to shorts was 69% today, I've never seen it that high. Also, the stock price got away from the big option sellers even with that effort and closed more than $2 above their 175 line in the sand. Bullish! UPDATE: The newest shorting report for TSLA's Friday now says...

TSLA chart above QQQ chart above Man oh man, the option sellers aren't varying tactics much. We've now seen several instances where the market is starting to have a strong day and we see a ginormous Mandatory Morning Dip such as we saw Wednesday morning. The purpose of the MMD is to signal to...

TSLA chart above QQQ chart above Tuesday was a more positive day for TSLA than you might have imagined. The stock gained 3.29% vs. the Nasdaq's 0.75%. More importantly, Tuesday's have recently been a day for a mandatory morning dip and getting the Monday climb back under control. In the case...

TSLA chart above QQQ chart above No big surprises on Monday. The Monday morning buyer exuberance showed up as usual and TSLA ran to 175. Option sellers then started their price walkdown but couldn't keep TSLA below 172 and thus that's the price we ended up with. I was curious to see just how...

Good grief, percent of TSLA selling by shorts rose all the way to 62% today. Someone is trying very hard to see the stock price go down. The good news is that the majority of the market is so far giving a big yawn and volume was a mere 75M shares. Notice what appears to be a tail and two ears...

TSLA chart above QQQ chart above As expected, the market makers loosened their choke hold a bit on TSLA on Monday and the stock did indeed run higher. It passed 187 about 10am and then came the all too frequent walkdown of the stock price as a lack of recent news minimized volume (83.9M...

TSLA chart above QQQ chart above Not surprisingly, TSLA was trading in the red early pre-market on Friday as the option sellers sought to pull TSLA's close below 180. Alas, a 8:30am the jobs report came out and it was weak according to CNBC, suggesting that the oversupply of jobs is...

TSLA chart above QQQ chart above Time for a quiz: Which explanation best describes TSLA's trading on Thursday? 1) TSLA has moved into a very narrow trading range of 179.99 to 180.01. We made it to the top of the trading range today and should be happy. 2) Option sellers shorted the "sugar" out...

TSLA chart above QQQ chart above I hope no one was surprised by Tuesday mandatory morning dip. It's the logical play on a Tuesday when the stock price went bonkers on Monday. Scare away the traders with the dip, and then with the lower volume (only about half of Monday's) tweak TSLA so that...

TSLA chart above QQQ chart above Friday began with TSLA and QQQ both elevated in pre-market, but around 7:30am Reuters released this story which was pretty much a nothingburger about NHTSA taking a look at the FSD nags. The bots picked up on the story, and TSLA fell. It bounced back but then...

TSLA chart above QQQ chart above Friday's trading was all about a big macro dip, which is a shame because TSLA's loss of 1.92% managed to outperform Nasdaq's loss of 2.05%. Market makers would likely put in some effort to defend the 150 put wall and up until about 1pm it looked like they...

Here are two factors that may affect this coming week's ER: the recent announcement by Tesla's board that the board has decided to move Tesla incorporation from Delaware to Texas and Elon's previous 2018 awards being voted on again by shareholders. 1) The Tesla board is making sure that it's...

TSLA chart above QQQ chart above On Thursday we saw what looked like some real effort to keep TSLA from climbing out of the market makers' sweet spot. Overnight, the threatening put wall shifted from 170 to 165, which allowed the mandatory morning dip to extend below 170 off and on for over...
