1/14

Here's an update on my current take on $TSLA. But be aware, this is just one person's opinion, that could turn out to be wrong.

The most interesting thing so far, since the S&P announcement, has been the lack of volume. This means two things:
2/14

1) Buying so far has been limited. There's definitely been some front-running, speculation, and delta hedging, but I don't believe any big entities have started buying.
3/14

2) Selling has been very sparse. Although $TSLA had reached $500 before, $600 and $650 are significant new ATHs, and one would expect various entities to be happy to trim their $TSLA positions at these levels, but going off of volume this has been very limited so far.
4/14

In my opinion, all of this means that quite little has happened thus far. The vast majority of buying is still to come, BUT I also believe some selling has been 'postponed' by shareholders who believe they can sell for more during the coming weeks.
5/14

It's bullish that big shareholders are willing to postpone their selling, because this means they too believe $TSLA will go higher in the near term, as well as that they don't mind having missed selling $TSLA at $600 and $650 if they turn out to be wrong.
6/14

But it is nonetheless important to keep in mind that some 'postponed' selling pressure is also very likely to be building up at this point.
7/14

If you've read this blog post, and seen my prediction model, it should come as no surprise that I think the buying that's to come still outweighs the built-up selling pressure at this level.

8/14

I think $TSLA is more likely to settle at ~$800 than ~$600, and I can't rule out much higher peaks. However, at some point big shareholders will start divesting from $TSLA and options holders will start cashing in, so I don't believe a true infinity squeeze will happen.
9/14

Timing wise, having learned more about the NASDAQ closing cross, I think it's more likely that buying will spill over into the week before Christmas, and that it is less likely that there will be a large peak followed by a large pullback.
10/14

The closing cross on the 18th is the perfect timing to buy for indexers. Ideally they would all buy all of their shares during it, and I think that during most inclusions there is adequate supply so that most shares can be bought during the closing cross before inclusion.
11/14

However, even if more front-runners scoop up shares during the next two weeks, I can see a scenario in which there is inadequate supply during the closing cross on the 18th, causing more buying to spill over into the following week.
12/14

In this case, there might not be much of a drop, because most speculators, who would be the reason for a steep drop, already exited their trades in the week before, or during the closing cross on the 18th.
13/14

All in all, I think most of $TSLA's S&P inclusion is yet to play out (doesn't mean most of gains are still to come), and I think that it's slightly less likely there will be a peak and drop, and that it's more likely some of the gains will come in the week after inclusion.
14/14

Keep in mind, I could turn out to be wrong, and there's a fair bit of speculation on my side here, especially when it comes to a lack of supply during the closing cross on the 18th. Maybe front-running will intensify to a point where there will be mostly adequate supply.
