The Simplest Chart You'll See From Me - 225 coming

Long
JerryManders Updated   
BATS:TSLA   Tesla
TSLA is beginning a massive squeeze today at over 3% float and way over-extended to the downside.

It will fill the gap up by 2/9

Target 225 by 2/23 latest.

Entered Feb 9 205 calls for 1.35 and Feb 23 225 calls for 0.70
Comment:
I'm playing this with the expectation this fills gap and hits target at the latest possible times (i.e. Feb 9 and Feb 23 resp.).

However, the earliest these could hit are:
-gap fill to 206.77 by 2/2/2024
- 225 target by 2/9/2024

On this momentum it could extend higher that 225 to the 230-240 range.

Elon wants a retrace, squeeze the FUD.

~Elon today on X

TSLA calls.
Comment:
The reason I posted this so minimally yesterday was because I did an analysis and the chart was too messy, so just deleted drawings and posted the same forecast.

I wanted to get the idea out and recommendation to enter long while this was still in the 180s. Pre-market 1/30 its already at 194, so looking good. Calls up since entry.

There are a few key levels not shown on the chart, other than the obvious gap and target zones:

* 217 is the level where selling pressure = expected buying pressure, might see some consolidation here before continuing to 225 target

** 231 is an equilibrium level where supply = demand. Price will be drawn toward this level, which will be primary force taking this to target (225 is under this level so I can assure it hits on way toward 231 - 225 also confluence target from multiple analyses). Mid-term consider 225-231 a pivot, near term consider it a target.

*** 251.25 = major breakout level. This likely wont break 251 before 2/23, but for those in shares or longer out expiry calls, this is the level that will send this to higher highs in the 300s.

After we make it to 225-231, I'm expecting a decent pullback to make higher low before continuing higher to attempt break above 251 by 4/12/2024 (right before next earnings).
Comment:
Both sets of calls up just over 50%.

Look to take profits on the Feb 9 205s when underlying hits 198-200 (might consolidate around 199.35 and burn some on the Feb 9s).. hold the Feb 23s for the haul
Comment:
When I give targets 206 by 2/9, 225 by 2/23 I really mean it will hit those. So unless I give an update otherwise, buy every dip.
Comment:
Last chance to add for a discount.
Comment:
I'm still very bullish on TSLA, it is my second biggest position and I'm planning to add more today 2/5. But I have an update on the time to targets, which will be slightly delayed.

- original pts were 206 by 2/9 and 225 by 2/23. These can still hit in time but probability is lower now due to the duration of this accumulation phase lasting longer. That is actually a good thing because it means big money is serious about marking this up.

- new targets are as follows:

pt1 = 198 by 2/9
pt2 = 206 by 2/16
pt3 = 211-217 by 2/23
pt4 = 225-231 by 3/1/2024

So the levels are still the same but dates have been pushed back. I like the Feb 23 expiration the best because of the premiums. Each of the targets above are contingent on the preceding target hitting.

Not Financial Advice.
Comment:
Looking for this to make a higher low and botom either 2/5 or 2/6. Expected pullback is 183-185. The signal to enter/add long is a break back above 186 (and then confirmation with a break back above 189. These are the criteria for this to take off toward targets.
Comment:
A close above 186 will confirm this is ready to take off. Expecting that today 2/7 based on its smaller degree structure - heavy accumulation with an ending diagonal into an inverse head and sholuders (15 minute interval).

Good chance this will be trading in the 190s around 3:30pm today 2/7.
Comment:
Add big here if we get a pullback to 181.50 - 183.50 and then bounce back above 186 around 11:00pm-1:pm today (2/7). This will confirm a leading diagonal off the 2/5 low and be the nail in the coffin for bears (finally). After that confirmation will be break above 193.
Comment:
Looking for a break above 195 and then moon. Elon's about to take this on a SpaceX rocket. Brr.
Comment:
Inverse head and shoulders forming on the 1D initerval to complete the accumulation, be patient and add with stop loss sustained break below 174
Comment:
Liftoff (12:30 pm est 2/14). 190s by end of day and this time not coming back down. The accumulation phase is complete.
Comment:
massive short positions will cover above 189.56
Comment:
see what I'm saying... hit 189.56 after close and already at 194 after hours (4:06pm).. this will be fun these next few days
Comment:
Here's what I'm looking for tomorrow:

- gap above 193.76, that will greatly increase liklihood of filling gap at 206 in the coming days
- if for some reason we don't get the gap up, it needs to stay above 184.55 (a break below would open the door to more downside)
Comment:
That break above 193 was crucial - nothing will stop this now for the next few days. Elon wants 206 minimum, and then the squeeze really kicks in/././...
Comment:
real MOASS coming
Comment:
I took some profits here - not full position, just 1/3rd of my calls. Long weekend.
Comment:
Will add calls if we get a retest of 193-196 for support next week
Comment:
Party could be over for now, earlier than expected. I got a chance to look at market more in detail this weekend, and its just not the right time yet for TSLA to make the major breakout that I orginally expected. Not saying it can't but too much risk to stay in and give up gains - so far calls have been profitable.

Setting a tight stop loss at 197. If it breaks below it will drop to test 193 for support. If 193 doesn't hold it will likely drop lower to complete a harmonic around 181.
Trade closed: stop reached:
I'm out for now while there are still some profits on the table. Its got some more correcting to do to the 180s before its ready to run.
