TSLA ! You like money? You like money ?We're here to make money! I don't care about politics or idealists. If TSLA makes +20% in the next few weeks, I'll be very happy! End of story. I only do technical analysis. No emotions here.
hedge funds, YOUR pension funds and market makers have to pay themselves! They're buying the dip, while you're watching the stock collapse! Wake the hell up!

Tesla is About to Collapse… or Skyrocket—Are You In?Tesla is all over the news with boycotts, drama, and market chaos, but the real action is on the charts. If we break below 222, things could get ugly fast with a drop toward 197, 186, and even 176. But if we hold above 223, momentum could send us flying past 232, 237, and potentially 256 or even 264.
Big money is watching, and the next move could be massive. The question is—are you trading this or just watching from the sidelines?

BYD - What next post-earnings and the BoC's stimulus?HKEX:1211 has had a strong year in growth prospects, reporting solid earnings growth thanks to its robust EV sales and expanding footprint in international markets. The recent earnings beat highlighted an impressive increase in revenue, driven by the demand for both their electric and hybrid vehicles. But what we can notice is that the stock has only reflected this as a c.16% rise in price YTD. However, the question now is: where does BYD go from here?
- More recently, the BoC's latest stimulus measures, including rate cuts and support for the real estate sector, could indirectly benefit BYD. With increased liquidity and consumer confidence, domestic demand for EV's could rise, especially if coupled with additional green energy incentives.
- As for the earnings release, the markets reacted well, and with this new-found optimism in the markets, with both the SEE Composite Index SSE:000001 and the Hang Seng Index TVC:HSI up 5.78% and 9.28% in the past 5 days, is this the turn-around for China as a whole?
TSLA: Down 44% – Is This the Bottom?Tesla has been absolutely crushed since hitting its all-time high at $485. A 44% drop isn’t shocking after such a huge rally, but it’s still a brutal move. Now, we’re back into support, sitting near the level of Wave 1 – so far, nothing completely out of the ordinary.
Maybe to counter some of the selling pressure, Elon Musk tweeted yesterday that he sees a 1000% price increase in the next five years – if the work is put in. Take it however you want. The tweet probably gave TSLA a short-term boost, since Musk’s words always spark some level of hope. But we’ve seen this game before – big claims, and sometimes, reality doesn’t follow through.
Technically speaking:
As long as Tesla holds the order block between $240 and $260, or at least the current support, things don’t look too bad. But if that level breaks, things could get ugly – and $150 might not be far off.
For now, this remains one to watch.

$NIO Will a similar OBV and Volume pattern lead to a rally?Pay attention to the recent OBV structure (blue). Declining and forming a flat bottom.
The volume in pink displays the same characteristics during each stage of the Inverse H&S pattern: forming an initial peak during the left shoulder, a higher one during the formation of the head (although the head of the current pattern is accompanied by lower volume, but I have an explanation for it), and then peaking during the formation of the second touch of the base, at the start of the right shoulder. Finally, the volume dives along with the last peak of the structure before leaving the pattern altogether.
Additionally, notice how the Weinstein 30-week indicator is finding a bottom here.
During the 'head' or second dip, NIO's price declined on lower volume than in 2019. I can see it as a change of character. It looks like NIO didn't take this dip seriously this time.
$NIO Triple dives, a repeat of 2020-2021. Bears in hibernation.During the first dive, volume is at its lowest. It dips slightly during the formation of the second dive in the middle, then gradually rises as the final shake-off takes shape, eventually reaching a high point.
Observe what's happening, a divergence between price and the On Balance Volume.
2020 // While the stock formed lower lows, the OBV stayed near the same level. During the first dive (part of a triple dive pattern), NIO’s On-Balance Volume kept declining until the second dive formed, after which it began to rise.
2025 // The OBV forms higher highs with each dive. While the price is making lower lows against a descending resistance line, the OBV is trending higher. Why is the price dropping when the OBV has reached the same level? I’m sensing a reversal is on the horizon.
The OBV is acting up.
What do you think? I'm very bullish.
TESLA ($TSLA) – PRICE CUTS, NEW MODELS & SHRINKING MARGINSTESLA ( NASDAQ:TSLA ) – PRICE CUTS, NEW MODELS & SHRINKING MARGINS
(1/8)
Tesla’s Q4 2024 revenue came in at $25.17B (+1% YoY), missing estimates of $25.87B. Full-year revenue hit $97.69B, only slightly above 2023. Let’s break down the numbers! 🚗⚡️
(2/8) – EARNINGS SNAPSHOT

Can We Get +EV from EV? With stocks like FCX, sometimes the answer isn’t just about gold—it’s about finding the copper that holds everything together.
While everyone scrambles for the gold nuggets in the mainstream Electric Vehicle (EV) market, you might be missing opportunities further upstream in the feeder streams. These are the overlooked areas that quietly power the whole operation. As I work on my 2025 guide to researching and finding hidden gems in this very market, I stumbled upon a curious situation that’s sometimes overlooked when researching a stock: a well-timed opportunity to combine deeper research with the possibility of an early position.
What is that opportunity, you ask? Well, it’s all about timing and understanding the mechanics of dividends, coupled with an upcoming earnings catalyst.
The Hidden Value in Copper
Let’s face it—copper wire isn’t exactly the sexiest investment out there. But sometimes, the dressed-down stock has a greater long-term value precisely because it spans multiple industries. Copper isn’t just critical for EV motors and renewable energy—it’s a foundation material for infrastructure, electronics, and more.
Enter Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (FCX). This copper powerhouse caught my attention for two key reasons:
1. A dividend payout date approaching on Jan 15, offering a 1.6% yield.
2. An earnings report set for Jan 23, creating the potential for amplified movement shortly after the dividend window.
Now, before you jump in, remember: this isn’t about chasing dividends or speculative hype. Instead, it’s an opportunity to observe, research, and learn. Here’s why FCX is a fascinating case study and what to watch for.
Why FCX Is a Great Study
1. **Dividend Catalyst (Jan 15)
- Watching the stock’s behavior leading up to and after the ex-dividend date could give insights into how investors value the dividend.
- Track whether the stock trades with increased volume or volatility as traders position themselves to collect the dividend.
2. **Earnings Catalyst (Jan 23)
- With earnings just a week after the ex-dividend date, you have a rare overlap of events that could amplify price movement.
- Depending on sentiment, the stock could rebound from the ex-dividend price drop—or face additional pressure if earnings or guidance disappoint.
3. **Copper Exposure
- FCX is already on our radar for its ties to EVs, renewable energy, and infrastructure projects.
- Broader copper demand, influenced by economic sentiment or supply chain news, could add another layer of movement to this stock.
What to Watch
1. Pre-Dividend Price Action (Now through Jan 14)
- Look for increased buying as traders position for the dividend.
- Monitor volume trends and whether FCX breaks key technical levels.
- Keep an eye on market sentiment and copper-related news.
2. Ex-Dividend Price Adjustment (Jan 15)
- Observe if the stock drops by exactly the dividend amount ($0.15) or if external factors cause a different adjustment.
- Watch for recovery post-drop—does buying interest resume, or does the stock stall?
3. Earnings Anticipation (Jan 16–23)
- Monitor implied volatility (IV) for options, as IV typically rises before earnings.
- Consider how copper prices or macroeconomic trends (like China reopening or U.S. infrastructure spending) might affect sentiment heading into earnings.
4. Post-Earnings Reaction (Jan 23 and Beyond)
- Listen to the earnings call for insights on copper demand, production costs, and forward contracts.
- Note whether the stock aligns with broader copper and EV trends or diverges based on the results.
Possible Outcomes
1. Bullish Scenario
- Dividend buying drives interest, and earnings provide a strong catalyst for growth.
- The stock rebounds quickly after the ex-dividend date and continues upward momentum post-earnings.
2. Bearish Scenario
- Dividend adjustment leads to further downside pressure, and earnings fail to meet expectations.
- The stock underperforms compared to copper peers.
3. Neutral Scenario
- Dividend adjustment happens as expected, and earnings provide no surprises.
- FCX trades sideways, maintaining a range-bound pattern.
How to Track and Document
1. **Price & Volume:**
- Record closing prices from now through Jan 23.
- Note volume spikes and their timing relative to events.
2. **Options Activity:**
- Monitor the options chain for changes in implied volatility as earnings approach.
- Look for unusual activity around certain strikes or expirations.
3. **Copper Prices:**
- Track global copper prices, as they could influence sentiment for FCX.
4. **News Flow:**
- Stay updated on copper demand, EV adoption, and infrastructure-related headlines.
A Practical Exercise in +EV Thinking
FCX presents a unique opportunity to explore the layered dynamics of dividends, earnings, and macroeconomic trends. Even if you don’t take a position, tracking these events can sharpen your understanding of how catalysts play out in real time.
And, of course, this study aligns perfectly with the philosophy behind my upcoming eBook and print guide:
**“Adding to Your Nest with EV in 2025 – A guide for researching the hidden gems in the EV market sector of trading.”**
So, can we get +EV from EV? The answer lies upstream, in the copper that holds everything together.

XIAOMI (1810): Another All-Time High Surpassed!A new all-time high has been reached 🎉
XIAOMI has been surging non-stop since August 2024, with our position now up 180% since our entry back in March. We are taking our next profit here and letting the rest run.
Xiaomi experienced significant growth in 2024, bolstered by China’s economic development and government support. The Chinese government implemented subsidies to stimulate demand for electronics, heavily favoring the stock. These policies aimed to strengthen domestic consumption and accelerate technological modernization.
In March 2024, Xiaomi introduced its first EV, the SU7 sedan. By November, the company exceeded its initial targets, raising its annual delivery forecast to 130,000 vehicles.
Technically, it is safe to say that we are trading in a wave 3, but the key question remains: for how long and what price level will it target? Analyzing the chart, it makes the most sense to anticipate a very large and sharp wave 3, with the same dynamics for wave ((3)). While the possibility of even higher surges exists, historical patterns suggest the likelihood of a rounding top formation as multiple waves come to an end.
We don’t believe our entry level will ever be retested, but we remain cautious with new entries for now, closely monitoring the chart for further developments.

TESLA 206 - 216 - 230 TP
Why Tesla is Poised for a Bull Run
Tesla Inc., the leading electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer, has shown remarkable resilience and growth potential, making it a strong candidate for a bull run. Here are some key reasons:
1. Strong Financial Performance
Tesla’s financial performance has been impressive. The company’s revenue reached $81.5 billion in 20221, and its stock price has seen a 5-year total return of 795.71%, placing it in the top 10% of its industry2. Despite a decrease in net income in Q3 20233, Tesla’s overall financial health remains strong.
2. Market Leadership
Tesla continues to lead the EV market. It was the most valuable automotive brand worldwide as of June 20231 and led the battery-electric vehicle market in sales1. Despite increased competition, Tesla’s market share in the U.S. and Canada is growing, heading towards 3%, while in Europe and China, 2% is within range4.
3. Production and Delivery Growth
Tesla’s vehicle deliveries reached a record 1.31 million units in 20221, showing a steady year-over-year growth. The company’s long-term target is to increase electric car sales by an average of 50% year-over-year4.
4. Expansion Plans
Tesla is expanding its manufacturing capacity with new factories in Germany and Texas5. These new facilities will help meet the growing demand for Tesla’s vehicles, potentially driving further growth.
5. Innovative Product Line
Tesla is not resting on its laurels. The company plans to launch new models, including the Cybertruck, Semi, and Roadster6. The introduction of these new vehicles could attract new customers and boost sales.
6. Charging Infrastructure
Tesla’s plans for the world’s largest Supercharger station in California7 indicate the company’s commitment to developing a robust charging infrastructure. This will not only benefit current Tesla owners but also make EVs more appealing to potential buyers.
7. Strategic Market Moves
Tesla is making strategic moves to capture more market share, such as lowering the price of its cars in China and emphasizing online sales8. These strategies could significantly impact future earnings.
In conclusion, Tesla’s strong financial performance, market leadership, production growth, expansion plans, innovative product line, development of charging infrastructure, and strategic market moves position it well for a bull run
TESLA 300 AFTER EARNINGS ? 3 STRONG REASONS !!
Strong EV Market Position:
Tesla’s electric vehicles (EVs) remain popular, with the Model Y and Model 3 ranking among the top-selling vehicles in the U.S. in 2023. Even as legacy automakers enter the market, Tesla’s success suggests continued consumer preference for its vehicles.
Cybertruck:
Tesla’s long-awaited Cybertruck could be a game-changer. Pickup trucks have high gross profit margins, and if Tesla prices the Cybertruck right, it could boost their overall profitability1.
Regulatory Credits and Rebates: As Europe tightens regulations on internal combustion engine (ICE) cars, Tesla may receive more regulatory credits (from competitors like Fiat) going forward.
Full Self-Driving (FSD) Technology: Analysts estimate that Tesla’s FSD technology could potentially raise earnings per share by $1-$2 annually through the end of the decade.
Is LCID Ready to Defy Gravity?!Here I have NASDAQ:LCID on the Daily Chart.
Price has been wrestling with the ( $2.55 - $2.30 ) area all 2024, but with the new Gravity SUV finally in production:
www.tradingview.com
along with tension easing from speculation on what the Trump Administration plans to do with the EV Sector:
www.tradingview.com
We could see Price on NASDAQ:LCID take off!
Since the August High's @ ( $4.43 - $4.25 ), Price has been following a Falling Resistance but we see on Dec. 6th, Price not only became extremely Bullish testing the Falling Resistance from underneath but also:
-Built Massive Bullish Volume
-RSI Pushed Above 50
-Followed by a Bullish Candle Close outside of the Falling Resistance to start the week on Dec. 9th.
*Suggesting Market Sentiment is changing and Bulls could be getting ready to take over!
Today on the 11th we see Price has made a Pullback to the Falling Resistance to Retest the Break @ $2.28 and is currently trading up to $2.35 showing a good Bullish reaction to the Lower Prices now!
We must continue to see RSI stay Above 50 and Bullish Volume remain dominant upon Prices rise along with good output from the new product line and the company continuing to gain investing support!
VALE: Elliott Wave AnalysisWe're looking at an Expanded Flat correction in Wave 2, with Wave C forming a Complex Corrective ABCDE triangle pattern
After breaking down from the triangle pattern, Wave C is likely to terminate near major support levels (~$7.50-$6).
Implications for Wave (3):
Once Wave (2) concludes, a powerful impulsive Wave (3) is expected, with targets around:
$27-29 (161.8% extension).
~$40 (261.8% extension).
The triangle within Wave C suggests exhaustion of the bearish trend, setting the stage for a multi-year rally.
Based on Vale's goals in producing and expanding on their "energy transition" metals like nickel (currently the second largest nickel miner in the world) and copper, and the demand for EV batteries. It's likely that Vale will benefit.
This is a long projection so Vale will have to execute on all its timelines and goals for production capacity.
Best of luck all.
DON'T SLEEP ON TESLA ON A... WELL, NEVER SLEEP AGAIN. TSLA 420.
ALRIGHT, LET'S TRY THIS AGAIN.
Tesla has a cool trend setup, retracement setup and indicator alignment into earnings.
A REALLY STEEP DROP from earnings, past 134 and all the way down to around 96, could trigger a nice move to the upside that you won't want to miss.
I know, TSLA to 74 or 30 or 10 (it's garbage).
Well, no, I disagree. At least in the short term. After it runs up again, I could easily see it back down to some low numbers.
But right now, heading into earnings, a big move is showing that looks very similar to what I've shown.
My line, expect it to be inaccurate, instead focus on the price targets.
At 175.01 = full bull to the moon 238k miles, maybe overshoots that.
There will be retracements, but if this move is based around btc, it could be FAST.
So, probably best to never sleep again, and watch the tsla chart 24/7.
RSI technically bearish, but they all look like they are about to flip, BUT they haven't yet, so we can't assume. We have to keep the projection based on charts, which says, if 134 holds and we get over 175 with stability, then green light, probably.
If earnings crashes price to under $100 for a brief amount of time, you probably want to yolo the dip. Calls would be very cheap at that point, and if you're bullish in any way, even if it's not to my numbers bullish, then it's still probably free money.
I won't be upset should you disagree, feel free.
And I look forward to your rubbing of profits in my face, should you be correct.
Truthfully, I'd like to see everyone make a ton, no matter what your opinion is (bear/bull).
LOTS OF MOVEMENT to trade in two directions.
Things don't go up forever, things don't go down forever, and if they do, it would be an outlier to most market movements.
Good luck!!
SOME FUNDAMENTAL RESEARCH:
1. **Tesla Fundamentals**:
- Tesla, the electric vehicle (EV) company founded by Elon Musk, has seen remarkable growth in recent years. Their fundamentals include strong demand for EVs, innovative technology, and a charismatic CEO who captures public attention.
- However, Tesla's financials have been volatile due to high R&D costs, production challenges, and regulatory hurdles. Despite this, their stock price has surged, making them one of the most valuable automakers globally.
2. **Bitcoin and Dogecoin Investments**:
- Tesla made headlines when it disclosed a $1.5 billion investment in Bitcoin. This move signaled institutional interest in cryptocurrencies.
- Elon Musk's tweets and actions have influenced crypto markets. Tesla's investment in Bitcoin adds legitimacy to the asset class.
- As for Dogecoin, Tesla has not officially invested in it. However, Musk's tweets and memes have boosted Dogecoin's popularity. It's important to note that Dogecoin is highly speculative and lacks fundamental value¹.
3. **Software Subscription vs. Hardware Sales**:
- Morgan Stanley believes Tesla could make more money from software subscriptions than hardware sales. Tesla's vehicles are equipped with advanced software features (Autopilot, Full Self-Driving) that can be unlocked via subscription.
- By offering software upgrades, Tesla can generate recurring revenue. This model aligns with the trend toward software-defined vehicles².
4. **Data Collection and Auto Driving**:
- Tesla collects vast amounts of data from its vehicles, especially those equipped with Autopilot. This data helps improve autonomous driving algorithms.
- Tesla's fleet provides real-world data for training AI models, giving them a competitive edge in self-driving technology.
- Monetizing this data could be lucrative. Tesla could license it to other companies or use it for targeted advertising.
5. **Leasing Software vs. Selling Cars**:
- Leasing software (e.g., Full Self-Driving subscription) allows Tesla to generate ongoing revenue without selling additional hardware.
- Traditional automakers rely on upfront car sales, which can lead to debt if demand fluctuates.
- Tesla's approach disrupts the industry by emphasizing software and services over traditional car sales.
In summary, Tesla's fundamentals, crypto investments, software subscriptions, data collection, and unique business model contribute to its success and potential for future growth. However, risks remain, and the EV landscape is evolving rapidly. Other automakers are also adapting to these changes, but Tesla's early lead gives it a competitive advantage¹². 🚗💡📈
