Tesla just had one of those days that reminds everyone why it's still the king of volatile tech plays. The stock closed up $16.80 at $442.87, but the real story wasn't just the price action - it was the massive wall of money betting on more gains ahead.
What's Driving the Rally
Data from unusual_whales showed options premiums hitting $1.13 billion with a net bullish tilt of $72 million. That's serious institutional firepower backing this move.
- Cybertruck momentum building - Production ramp expectations are finally starting to pay off
- Energy storage growth - Tesla's battery business keeps expanding beyond just cars
- AI initiatives gaining traction - The autonomous driving story is back in focus
- Tech sector strength - Rising tide lifting all boats in the broader market
The chart tells the story of a stock that broke higher early and held most of its gains through the session. Sure, there was some late-day profit-taking, but the overall message was clear: buyers are back.
What's Next for TSLA
Tesla's now eyeing the $450-$455 resistance zone, and if it can punch through that level, we could see a run toward 2025 highs. But here's the thing about Tesla - nothing's ever straightforward. The heavy options activity that fueled today's rally could just as easily create volatility swings in either direction. With earnings season approaching and macro uncertainty still hanging over markets, this could be the start of a bigger move or just another head fake. Either way, Tesla remains the stock everyone's watching, and today's action suggests the big players think there's more upside coming.
