Tomorrow TSLA will either gap up or gap down before v-shaping. If you're prone to panicking, do it now.
I'm in the camp that if we cannot bounce back over 200 and hold it, we'll be stuck sub 200 like last time until the macro recovers. But at that point I'de rather be in NVDA and ride it to 600. So a gap down without recovery would be pretty bad lol.
 
Interesting monthly view --- see October vs. June, seems we just undid that whole run. Perhaps we reset around here?

My bet is 140-150 is on the table, but not right now. It will take another round trip to 240 and back down to reach 140-150.

These rides of buying and selling are so interesting to me to observe. Nuts that it can run again to $240 ("phew, we're out of the woods...Tesla will dominate, etc.") and then lose $100 dollars and loop back down to $140-$150 ("TSLA's growth story is over..."). I know these runs happen, I've seen them. I just don't understand the psychology behind it. If TSLA is worth $240 then it should stay there and maybe float higher, and if it's really worth $140-$150 how in the world does it get to $240? I probably asked this question or a version of it every time but still don't understand it.

Is it profit-taking when we get up there which then cascades price down as people trip over each other to exit and lower their asks? But why/how do we get up there in the first place if things are so dire?

My bet is that you’re right and I will leave these forums and never come back if I don’t close all my longs next time I see $240 before opening them back at $140.

Because I have been warned

I think it’s fundamentally just institutions adjusting their positions, along with traders/algos/retail/options noise. It just takes a big holder to unload their position to move the price a lot. I assume their trades are motivated - like us - by how much money they can make safely, moreso than trying to accurately “value” the company.
 
Next minute this entire subforum sells all their shares at 240.
Too late. I already setup to autosell all my shares at 240 and rebuy at $150. Im going to be the richest top dog in here all thanks to DI0003. Max Plaid here I come….

Either that or I be eating dry dog food rest of my life ;)

It all fun. Have a good rest of the day and we meet again tommorow in the Casino.

Logically speaking what you say makes a lot of sense. But remember that Wall Street makes money on churn and there is not a better polarizing company than TSLA to create that churn. The charts will tell you the story you don’t even have to look at the delivery numbers or margins.

Today is a good example of how Tesla bulls rationalize the 6% drop; Panasonic, ON, weaker demand blah blah blah. The fact is the stock was broken technically and you could see them trying to break 200 at some point this week.
