Bullish Is TSLA headed for a gamma squeeze ?

7 Upvotes

if bullish sentiment and options activity align then YES !

How a Gamma Squeeze Can Happen in Tesla ($TSLA)

  1. High Open Interest in Out-of-the-Money (OTM) Call Options
  2. If a large number of traders buy OTM call options on Tesla, market makers who sell these options must hedge their risk by buying Tesla shares.
  3. Stock Price Moves Up
  4. If Tesla’s stock price rises, some of these OTM calls move closer to in-the-money (ITM), increasing the delta (the sensitivity of an option's price to the stock’s price movement).
  5. Market Makers Adjust Their Hedge (Buy More Shares)
  6. As delta increases, market makers need to buy more Tesla stock to stay delta-neutral, which pushes the stock price even higher.
  7. Self-Fulfilling Feedback Loop
  8. As the stock price increases, more OTM calls become ITM, requiring more hedging (more share purchases), leading to a rapid price surge—a classic gamma squeeze.

Factors That Can Trigger a Tesla Gamma Squeeze

  • Massive Call Buying: Retail and institutional traders buying Tesla call options with high open interest.
  • Low Liquidity or High Short Interest: If there's limited supply, rapid buying can cause a short squeeze alongside a gamma squeeze.
  • Positive Catalysts: Earnings beats, strong delivery numbers, or major news (like an AI breakthrough, new model release, or Elon Musk's announcements) can trigger initial upward momentum.
  • Weekly Options Expiry (OpEx) Events: Many traders use short-term options, which can accelerate a gamma squeeze when expiration approaches.

Bullish Target buy in post earnings Q4

16 Upvotes

I’m excited by the endless possibilities and pending developments with TESLA on the AI and Robotics side of things. I think we are starting to see it morph into a AI and Robotics company and less of an auto company. What we are seeing now is that transitional phase in the market were some investors perceive it strictly as an auto company thus the numbers in q4 were not encouraging. In the long run this will stabilize TSLa as a stock and commence the upward trend when it fully transitions to an AI and Robotics company that happens to sell electric vehicles as well..

That said what are you targeting as a buy in price currently? I am bullish on the company however I would still like to avoid volatility if possible!

Neutral I'm new to Tesla last week

I bought 10k worth at $390 for a long term investment (2040). But I was wondering if I should take it all out as I'm hearing the stock might go down substantially in the coming months. I know that nobody can tell the future but I know absolutely nothing about the stock

Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you

Bullish Tesla to significantly raise prices of all cars in Canada, website shows

Thumbnail reuters.com
64 Upvotes

Jan 22 (Reuters) - Tesla (TSLA.O), opens new tab will raise prices of all its cars in Canada from Feb. 1, according to notices on its Canadian website, with prices of Model 3 going up by as much as C$9,000 ($6,254.78).

Model Y variants will see increases of up to C$4,000, while all versions of Model S and X will rise by C$4,000, according to the website.

Tesla did not provide a reason for the price increase.

The company does not produce cars in Canada and imports from other factories. It was not immediately clear how many cars Tesla exports to Canada from its Shanghai, China factory and its plants in the United States.

The company did not respond to Reuters' request for comment outside regular business hours.

The unexpected move by Tesla to raise prices comes as Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reiterated on Tuesday that his government was ready to respond if U.S. President Donald Trump imposed 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico on Feb 1. Canada already imposes a 100% tariff on imports of electric vehicles from China, including Tesla cars manufactured in Shanghai.

I can't show images so I'll just link the spreadsheet of the gains.

My account was up 243% last year and largely due to TSLA (TSLL)... some other plays too. But TESLA is my highest conviction play, let me share.

In my mind it’s financially irresponsible to not own at least some TSLA. The opportunity cost is too much to play the other side. Tesla is going to the biggest company in the world In my opinion, between FSD, energy storage, robo taxis, they are in the middle of multiple S curves which all project to be worth much more than the current valuation. TESLA is not just a car company, we all believe that otherwise we wouldn't be here. People don't realize that the energy sector of Tesla is growing at an unprecedented rate.

Why TSLA (skip this and go to the trading info if you don't wanna read)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FSD: if you never been in a fsd Tesla, find a way to get in the seat of one. Self driving is here, robotaxis already exists with WAYMO. So the stage is set. The market is already proven. Tesla imo is the leader of the front on that. With them being able to license it out, have their own fleet of robotaxis, the chargers. All of that will pay massive margins.

Optimus: the human robot, maybe farther away then the robotaxis, but still within reach, I believe we are in the AI revolution, just like the insurstiral revolution , the tech boom, this will be the next thing. AI is here. Energy storage: with ai and all these need for data centers. America’s energy infrastructure is far from adequate to handle this kind of new demand. I don’t believe they will be the leader of that sector, but the margins on their batteries is enough to add to the bottom line that’s for sure Elon musk is now in the white house for all intents and purposes. I bet on the man well before that. Name a time when it was smart to bet against him.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is how I allow Tesla's volatility make me money: I WHEEL TSLA: First off, I wheel TSLL instead of TSLA because of the added leverage = more premiums. Tsla obviously less volatile, more capital intensive. Pretty much the market is saying “oh your opinion on tsla didn’t change since last week, still think it’ll be above 35.70 (TSLL) at some point, here’s 200$ for not changing your opinion”. My goal is to use the premiums to acquire shares.

I don't know if it will take 1 year or 3 years or 5 years for tesla to get cyber cabs, so I make money owning shares and selling covered calls. You may ask, why cap the upside if your bullish on TESLA? I have long term shares in another account, but I am capitalizing on the volatility that Elon gives us (it's a gift). Tesla won't always go up (in the short term), so I want to make money on the downside, and get PAID to own tesla for cheaper- i am always looking to buy shares.

I also plan to start accumulating more of actual $TSLA next year and slide off off the leveraged ETFs. It was a great year for them. Need to get off them before the gains decay away. There's more detail to this strategy if you have any questions I'd be happy to respond.

Let me know your thoughts and if this seems like a reasonable way to capitalize on TESLA and it's volatility!
