Tesla Stock Gains After Musk Gets $30 Billion Award — What Now?Tesla board is hoping that the pile of shares would be enough to pin down the CEO and lock down his focus. But challenges are there. Here’s one — $30 billion might not be enough to keep Musk around. 💰 $30 Billion Retention Bonus Tesla stock NASDAQ:TSLA is up about 4% since the start of the week after the board of directors handed Elon Musk a gift-wrapped, legally-contingent $30 billion stock package . What’s inside? A cool 96 million shares — nearly enough to buy a small country or, at the very least, keep Musk’s wandering focus in the Tesla lane. In a letter to shareholders, the board didn’t mince words: “We are confident that this award will incentivize Elon to remain at Tesla. Retaining Elon is more important than ever.” Translation: “Please don’t leave, here’s money.” This isn’t just about stock awards or executive compensation. It’s about bringing back lost focus and whether the most famous CEO on the planet can be convinced to stop juggling a handful of companies and pay full attention (ok, more attention) to the one that’s public, highly volatile, and still kinda trying to figure out self-driving and robotaxis . 🎢 If the Stock Could Talk The market’s response? Pretty bullish. Traders seem to like the idea of Musk staying inside the Tesla factory gates — or at least not moonlighting in so many side quests. After all, Elon’s presence — erratic tweets, spontaneous product reveals, and all — is a core part of Tesla’s brand value. The stock has often behaved more like a crypto coin than a traditional automaker. Musk already owns over 400 million shares, around 13% of Tesla, worth roughly $125 billion. But he’s gunning for more: his long-stated ambition is 25% voting control (equal to $250 billion in shares based on the current $1 trillion market valuation. This new package edges him closer to that goal. If he can’t own a country, a quarter of Tesla might do. ⚖️ A Legal Complication Worth $56 Billion There’s one tiny footnote here: if Elon wins back his 2018 $56 billion pay package — the one struck down by a Delaware court — he might have to forfeit this new batch. So yes, Tesla may have just given the richest man in the world a “Plan B” golden parachute. Or a “Plan A” depending on how Delaware judges are feeling when they decide on it. 🤖 AI, Robots, and Attention Deficits Let’s not forget what lit the fire under this latest move. Back in January, Elon posted on X that he was “uncomfortable growing Tesla to be a leader in AI & robotics” without more control. It was a public shakedown — and apparently it worked. Tesla’s ambitious AI goals — full self-driving software, Optimus the humanoid robot, and a suite of other sci-fi-sounding visions and promises — are largely tied to Musk’s personal involvement. Investors know that without him, these projects could end up shelved… or sold to xAI, his other pet project and owner of X (former Twitter). 🧮 The Math of Mega-Pay Tesla says the accounting value of the package — after subtracting what Musk would have to pay to exercise the options and adjusting for restrictions — sits at about $23.7 billion. That's about the GDP of Malta and only slightly smaller than the SEC’s collective headache every time Musk tweets. In return, Musk has to stick around for five years — or at least not officially leave. The board hopes that’s enough to keep him engaged. But the question is: How much is enough to counteract everything else going on? The man’s worth $350 billion to $400 billion (depending on volatility) and if he wants to build Martian houses or dig tunnels under Paris, a few billion dollars aren’t going to make a difference. 🔀 A Shifting CEO, A Shaky Business? It’s not just about Elon’s attention span. Tesla’s business hasn’t exactly been smooth sailing. The EV market is more crowded than ever. Sales are dropping in Europe. Tariff threats are buzzing in the background. On top of that, it’s the earnings season and the Earnings calendar is hot to the touch. In recent quarters, Elon’s perceived absence from the factories have coincided with slumping revenue and nervous investors. Add in the fact that Elon just exited the Trump administration after a brief stint and dramatic fallout — yes, that happened — and Tesla investors are understandably hoping for a little more focus in the months ahead. Not to mention his new Washington gig — his “America party” political party . 🚗 Is Tesla Still a Growth Story? Tesla is still the largest EV maker in the US, but the shine has worn off a bit. The Cybertruck’s still not mainstream, Model 3s are getting old, and margins are being squeezed by global competition and pricing wars. If Musk is serious about staying and building, this could be Tesla’s opportunity to pivot — from hype-driven volatility to sustained, AI-powered growth. But if not, well... there’s SpaceX. Or xAI. Or Neuralink. Or The Boring Company. Or the next startup he tweets into existence. Off to you : Do you feel like Tesla is paying Elon to stay interested — or rewarding him for prior (and future?) performance. And is that the way to buy loyalty and dedication?

Tesla Builds Momentum - Can It Reach $490?Tesla Builds Momentum - Can It Reach $490? From a technical perspective, Tesla is showing signs of volume accumulation and appears to be forming a contracted triangle pattern. The price seems to have found solid support around 287, suggesting this corrective phase might be nearing its end. If the price breaks out of the triangle, especially above 330, the dominant bullish trend is likely to resume. On top of that, Tesla’s quarterly results beat expectations, which further strengthens the bullish outlook. My eyes are on price targets around 400, 450, and 490. News: 📊 Tesla approves share award worth $29 billion to CEO Elon Musk Tesla has granted CEO Elon Musk 96 million shares worth about $29 billion, a move aimed at keeping the billionaire entrepreneur at the helm as he fights a court ruling that voided his original pay deal for being unfair to shareholders. 📊Tesla signed on Wednesday a $4.3 billion battery deal with LGES, source says, reducing China reliance. South Korea's LG Energy Solution has signed a $4.3 billion deal to supply Tesla with energy storage system batteries, said a person familiar with the matter, as the U.S. company looks to reduce reliance on Chinese imports due to tariffs.

Tesla (TSLA) Crash Ahead? $101.81 Retest in SightThe Tesla price chart appears to show a large flat correction labeled W-X-Y. Wave W consists of three downward waves from 2021 to 2023. (white) Wave X shows a three-wave upward retracement from 2023 to 2024, which even overshot the start of wave W. (blue) Now, we seem to be in the final leg of the third move: wave Y down. (yellow) Typically, wave Y retests the bottom of wave W. If that holds, we could see Tesla’s price revisit the 2023 low of $101.81. Is Tesla losing its appeal? I’d love to hear your thoughts.

TSLA Long-Term Bold Projection (2025-2035)This is a long-term analysis of Tesla (TSLA) stock on the weekly timeframe, combining Elliott Wave Theory, Fibonacci extensions, and price structure (base formations) within a broad logarithmic trend channel. Key Highlights: 🔹 Base Formations: Base 1 (2010–2013): First consolidation before TSLA’s breakout. Base 2 (2014–2019): A wide triangle structure leading to explosive growth. Base 3 (2021–2024): Ongoing range suggesting wave (2) correction. Base 4 (2026–2032): Projected future range before a possible euphoric blow-off phase. 🔹 Elliott Wave Structure: Current wave count suggests TSLA is finishing wave (2) of a larger 5-wave structure. Bullish impulse expected with wave (3), (4), and (5) leading to new ATHs, potentially into the $8,000–$10,000+ range. A corrective ABC phase may follow, bringing price back toward key support (~$450 zone), aligned with Fibonacci retracements and channel support. 🔹 Fibonacci Levels: 0.618 and 2.618 extensions align with historical breakout points and future resistance zones. Long-term projection targets include $1,226, $4,400, and potentially $8,000+, with eventual reversion to the mean. 🔹 Log Channel: Price has respected a long-term ascending channel. Midline and upper resistance bands guide potential future resistance zones.

$TSLA: Branching Effect🏛️ Research Notes Reaching branching effect through cross-cycle interconnection. Alongside I'll test some elements mentioned below. Local Progressions Rhyme and levels derived from apparent cycle compression. Added channels with darkening gradient that cover bullrun from mid 2019, driven by angle of tops. In the local scope, as price deepens into denser zone the probability of disproportional reaction gets higher. t would probably complete its intermediate and even longer-term cycles before escaping the boundary.

TSLA to $450-$500 this year Technicals: Big Picture: Huge wedge breakout, followed by retest and bounce, and now we are flagging. 2Month Chart: Every time TSLA has had a hammer candle on the 2M chart, we have rallied hard within 2-7 months. 100 SMA on the daily: Everytime TSLA’s daily 100 SMA has gone from an extended downslope to upsloping (with the addition of some wedge breakout or Inverted H&S), it’s been the beginning of a rally. Fundamentals: While this analysis is primarily technical, Tesla’s long-term prospects, its strong base of loyal investors, and the high level of short interest believing its already over priced- suggests to me that the technicals are signaling a huge run this year to $450-$500+.

UPTADE TESLA -- 250 USD still potentialTesla is consolidating in a tight range, showing bearish pressure near the lower boundary of the formation. Moving averages (MA 5/10/30/60) are flattening, indicating a loss of bullish momentum, while the Wavetrend oscillator has issued a sell signal (bearish crossover below the zero line). A downside breakout from this range projects a potential move toward the $250 level, as illustrated by the measured move. This bearish scenario gains validity if price breaks below the $315 support level. Potential TP still 250 USD

Don’t Be Surprised to See $TSLA at $100/Share Down the LineTesla ( NASDAQ:TSLA ) has spent the last 5 years ranging between $100 and $300, with only two spikes — November 2021 and December 2024 — both of which failed to hold above $400. Structurally, this is a long-term range stock at this point. Unless we see breakout with volume above the $400 level, the odds still favor a continued range. Long-term investors and traders should remain open to the idea of a retest toward the bottom of the channel ($100) — especially if Tesla's financials’s face pressure.

Tesla Stock in Bearish Trend - Further Downside ExpectedTesla Stock in Bearish Trend - Further Downside Expected Tesla's (TSLA) stock price continues to display a clear bearish trend structure, characterized by the formation of consistent lower lows and lower highs on the price chart. This technical pattern suggests sustained selling pressure and indicates the downtrend will likely persist in upcoming trading sessions. Key Technical Observations: - Established Downtrend: The consecutive lower highs and lows confirm the bearish price structure remains intact - Weak Momentum: Each rally attempt has failed to gain traction, meeting selling pressure at progressively lower levels - Critical Price Levels: The stock has established well-defined resistance and support zones for traders to monitor Price Projections: - Downside Target at $272: The bearish momentum could drive TSLA toward the $272 support level, representing a potential 15% decline from current levels - Key Resistance at $370: Any recovery attempts will likely face strong selling pressure near the $370 level, which now serves as a major resistance barrier Market Implications: 1. Bearish Continuation Expected: The prevailing trend structure favors further downside unless a significant reversal pattern emerges 2. Breakdown Risk: A decisive move below current support levels could accelerate selling momentum toward $272 3. Short-Term Rally Potential: While the overall trend remains down, temporary rebounds toward $370 may present selling opportunities Trading Considerations: - Short Positions: Consider maintaining bearish exposure while price remains below the $370 resistance level - Stop Loss: A sustained break above $370 would invalidate the immediate bearish outlook - Profit Targets: $272 serves as the primary downside objective, with potential support levels to watch along the way Risk Factors to Monitor: - Market sentiment shifts in the EV sector - Changes in Tesla's production/delivery outlook - Broader market conditions affecting tech/growth stocks The technical setup suggests Tesla shares remain vulnerable to further declines, with $272 emerging as the next significant downside target. Traders should watch for either confirmation of the bearish continuation or potential reversal signals near key support levels. As always, proper risk management remains essential when trading in trending markets.

TeslaIn regard to Tesla, not a lot happened last week. Price started to raise back up towards the orange target box the week prior but failed to make new local highs. After that slight raise, it spent the last week grinding lower and breached the prior local low. If it can manage to breach the orange c wave low @ $288.77 (marked by red dashed line), we're headed to the grey target box. That red dashed line is very significant. The reason being is it invalidates the potential triangle if it gets breached. Should that happen, the only pattern I see is pointing to the grey box. If we do head to the lower target box, the $220's looks like the sweet spot for minor A to complete. I say this due to the green 1.618, yellow 1.618, & white 0.618 fibs being in that area. As you know, all levels of .618 are some of the strongest fibs if not THE strongest. Should orange prevail, and we have in fact carved out a triangle, the likely target would be the 0.786 @ $429.81 IMO. We have to wait to find out though as price is still refusing to lift its skirt and show the goods so to speak. To repeat and summarize, below $288.77 and we're likely headed to the gray box. Above the orange (D) high @ $338.88 (orange dotted line), and we're most likely headed to the orange target box. If we can manage to get into the grey box, I will begin looking for an entry very likely in the $220's or $230's.

Cyclical Stocks vs Non-Cyclical Stocks: How Can You Trade Them?Cyclical Stocks vs Non-Cyclical Stocks: How Can You Trade Them? Not every stock is created equal. One of the biggest distinctions is cyclical vs non-cyclical—those that grow or decline alongside economic conditions and those that are less sensitive. In this article, we explore the key differences between the two, how to analyse both, and how to trade them. What Are Cyclical Stocks? Cyclical stocks are those that rise and fall in line with the broader economy. They’re more sensitive to consumer spending and include those in the travel, automotive, construction, and luxury goods sectors. Simply put, when consumers have more disposable income, they’re likely to buy new cars, travel abroad, or invest in home improvements. Demand boosts corporate earnings and pushes share prices higher. However, when consumers have less money or face economic uncertainty, they reduce and delay spending on these discretionary purchases, dampening company earnings and stock valuations. Nike and Starbucks are good examples here—both are cyclical companies that see higher demand when consumers are in a stronger financial position and feel comfortable purchasing brand-name clothes or buying coffee on the go. Cyclical stocks tend to be more volatile than non-cyclical ones. Their sensitivity to cyclical business conditions offers potential opportunities for traders to capitalise on a growth phase, but timing matters—getting caught in a temporary or prolonged downturn can lead to sharp drawdowns. Cyclical Sectors - Automotive - Airlines & Travel - Luxury Goods & Apparel - Construction & Materials - Banking & Financial Services - Technology & Semiconductors - Restaurants & Entertainment - Retail (Discretionary Spending) Is Tesla a Cyclical Stock? Yes, Tesla is a cyclical stock. Demand for electric vehicles moves in line with economic conditions, consumer spending, and interest rates. Is Amazon a Cyclical Stock? Amazon is partly cyclical. Its retail business depends on consumer spending but its cloud computing division (AWS) sees constant demand and provides diversification. What Are Non-Cyclical Stocks? Non-cyclical stocks belong to companies that sell essential goods and services. Contrasting with cyclical stocks and their sensitivity to consumer spending, non-cyclical companies sell things people buy regardless of economic conditions. They’re often referred to as defensive stocks because they tend to hold up when the economy weakens. Non-cyclical sectors include healthcare, utilities, and consumer staples. Supermarkets, pharmaceutical companies, and electricity providers see relatively steady demand because people still need food, medicine, and power whether the economy is growing or contracting. For example, consumer non-cyclical stocks, like Procter & Gamble, which owns brands like Oral-B, Charmin, and Gillette, continue to generate revenue year-round because consumers still buy everyday household items. The same goes for Johnson & Johnson, which sells medical products that hospitals and pharmacies need. Compared to cyclical stocks, non-cyclical stocks are usually less volatile because their earnings are more consistent. While their potential returns are relatively limited vs their more growth-oriented cyclical counterparts, non-cyclical stocks are believed to not dive as sharply during a downturn. Non-Cyclical Sectors - Consumer Staples (Everyday Goods) - Healthcare & Pharmaceuticals - Utilities (Electricity, Water, Gas) - Telecommunications - Grocery & Essential Retail - Defence & Aerospace How Traders Analyse Cyclical Stocks In a market where going long or short volatile cyclical stocks is an option (such as with CFDs), many prefer to trade them over non-cyclical stocks. More broadly, traders analyse a few key indicators to determine whether cyclical stocks are in a growth phase. Macroeconomic Indicators When GDP expands, businesses and consumers spend more, and free-flowing spending boosts demand in cyclical sectors. Similarly, interest rates determine spending on more big-ticket purchases, like cars, homes, and luxury goods. Lower interest rates encourage borrowing and vice versa. Employment rates also play a key role. More layoffs and a higher unemployment rate mean consumers dial back purchases of discretionary goods and services. Employment conditions, along with economic and policy uncertainty, drive consumer confidence. When optimism is high, cyclical stocks often rally. Earnings Trends & Sector Data Unlike non-cyclical companies, cyclical firms see earnings fluctuate based on economic cycles. Traders pay attention to quarterly reports and especially forward guidance. If a company expects strong sales growth due to rising demand, this can drive its stock price higher and possibly signal an upswing in the sector. Industry-specific data, like auto sales figures or airline bookings, is also a useful gauge for assessing the future performance of a company. Market Sentiment & Seasonal Trends Cyclical stocks are prone to seasonal patterns—retailers surge in the holiday season, while travel stocks perform well in summer. Market sentiment is another important factor; for instance, if economic uncertainty is growing but investors on the whole believe it to be a temporary blip, then cyclical stocks may still rise. Analysing Non-Cyclical Stocks While traders often favour cyclical stocks for their higher potential returns, many still turn to non-cyclical companies as a possible form of short-term defence against downturns, to balance a long-term portfolio, or when unique occasions arise (earnings reports, company-specific news, etc.). Earnings Stability & Cash Flow Since non-cyclical companies sell essential goods and services, their earnings tend to be more consistent. Traders look at revenue trends, gross margins, and free cash flow to assess a firm’s ability to generate relatively steady income. Consistent earnings—even during downturns—can be a marker of a strong non-cyclical stock. Dividend History & Payout Ratios Many non-cyclical stocks pay dividends. That makes them attractive for those looking for income-generating assets. A company with a long track record of consistent or growing dividend payments is often a sign of financial strength. The payout ratio (dividends paid as a percentage of earnings) is another metric traders examine—too high, and it could indicate unsustainable distributions. Market Conditions & Defensive Rotation If economic uncertainty rises, investors will generally shift into defensive sectors like healthcare, utilities, and consumer staples. Many will monitor fund flows—where institutional money managing exchange-traded funds (ETFs), mutual funds, and large portfolios is headed—to understand if risk aversion is growing. Likewise, outperformance in certain sectors can be a signal. If sector indices like the S&P 500 Consumer Staples Index or the S&P 500 Healthcare Index outperform the overall S&P 500, it may indicate capital moving into non-cyclical stocks. Trading Cyclical and Non-Cyclical Stocks Now, let’s take a closer look at how traders engage with these stocks. Short-Term Trading Short-term traders generally focus on stocks or sectors expected to move over hours or days. One strategy might be to examine the broader conditions and trade ahead of earnings reports. If summer is approaching and the economy is doing well, Delta Air Lines could rise in the weeks before an earnings release as traders anticipate strong quarterly performance and positive forward guidance. Another strategy is trading macro themes. If inflation rises, traders might focus on companies with strong pricing power, like consumer staples firms that can pass costs onto consumers. If economic data points to a slowdown, they might focus on healthcare stocks. Medium-Term Trading Medium-term traders take a broader view and typically adjust their portfolio weightings based on economic conditions. During expansions, they may overweight cyclicals like construction and travel stocks, while shifting into non-cyclicals as recession risks grow. That could mean just rebalancing a collection of ETFs, over/under-weighting a set of stocks, or a mix of both. Here, the focus is usually on broader economic trends while also staying alert for possible strengthening or weakening consumer demand. Long-Term Trading Long-term traders often hold a mix of cyclical and non-cyclical stocks to maintain a balanced portfolio across economic cycles. While they may still adjust weightings over time, they tend to be more concerned with long-term sector trends and income generation. With a longer time horizon, these traders may be more willing to allocate more capital to cyclical stocks during a downturn, especially to otherwise strong companies or sectors, to take advantage of potential rebounds months down the line. The Bottom Line Understanding the difference between cyclical and non-cyclical stocks is fundamental to trading them. Careful analysis—macroeconomic, sectoral, and company-specific—can help traders identify potential opportunities across all time horizons. FAQ What Are Examples of Cyclical Stocks? Cyclical stocks include Tesla (TSLA), Delta Air Lines (DAL), Nike (NKE), Caterpillar (CAT), Marriott International (MAR), and Ford (F). Which Industries Are Most Cyclical? Highly cyclical industries include automotive, airlines, hospitality, construction, luxury goods, and consumer discretionary retail. Is Coca-Cola a Cyclical Stock? No, Coca-Cola is considered a non-cyclical stock. Demand for its wide range of products remains stable regardless of economic conditions. Is Starbucks a Cyclical Stock? Yes, Starbucks is a cyclical stock. Coffee purchases aren’t essential, so demand fluctuates based on disposable income and consumer confidence.
