Tesla Breakout! Elon’s $1B Bet—Are You Following In?
$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ closed at $410.26, its highest closing price since January 24, 2025. This comes after Elon’s big purchase!
Elon Musk responded to Tesla’s board’s unprecedented pay proposal by purchasing 2.57 million shares last Friday, worth about $1 billion, according to an SEC filing. The shares were bought at $372.37–$396.54.
This marks the largest single stock purchase Musk has ever made.
On September 8, Musk tweeted, “you will thank me later.” Some now say Musk and Trump are using the same “follow-my-trade” playbook.
Some investors believe Tesla is entering its once-every-four-years breakout cycle.
Musk has repeatedly said he wants at least 25% voting power in Tesla; otherwise, he may pursue AI and robotics ventures outside the company. His current stake is about 13%. While this purchase doesn’t drastically change his holdings, it’s viewed as a clear sign of deeper commitment.
Meanwhile, Tesla’s board has proposed a record-setting compensation plan that could award Musk up to $1 trillion if Tesla achieves ambitious goals, including an $8.5 trillion market cap. Shareholders will vote on the package in November.
Analysts say this is the strongest signal yet that Musk is “slamming the accelerator” and fully re-engaging with Tesla after a turbulent start to the year.

Breaking the previous all-time high of $488 seems well within reach this year. Tesla has historically shown these breakout cycles, and Musk’s commitment combined with strong fundamentals makes me confident in further upside. The market sentiment right now clearly favors a strong rally.
Now is the time to load up more shares and fasten my seatbelt. I’m ready to take advantage of dips and ride this momentum—Tesla looks set for an exciting rally before year-end.

Tesla's share price is currently sizzling hot as it is up 20% in just 5 days.
Tesla recently broke out of a 4 month symmetrical triangle patter n which is a classic bullish set up.
However Tesla currently trades at 250x trailing earnings. That is nosebleed territory even for a visionary growth story.
Also the EV incentives in the US expire this month. Tesla's margins have been compressed amid fierce competition.
So a good strategy is to dollar cost average into Tesla by using Tiger Brokers Auto Invest.

Might be appropriate to invest a minor portion of your portfolio into Telsa for the shorter term as it also seems volatile in a way. Cheers. [Smile] [Smile]
I don’t think Tesla can break out and surpass its previous high of $488. I think the price will start to collapse after reaching a maximum of $450.
I guess for this week, Tesla could possibly stage another 10% upside as momentum is definitely there and many are encouraged by the large volume trade by Elon. Thereafter, I think we might see many taking profit.

2. Tesla can surpass its previous high of $488 if momentum persists, deliveries remain strong, and optimism about autonomy and energy businesses builds. However, $488 is a heavy resistance zone and would require both technical and fundamental support.
3. Betting against Tesla right after a breakout is risky. The $400 level was a key psychological barrier, and sustained trading above it suggests strength. Still, short-term consolidation is common, and bears may try to fade the move.
4. A 10% upside this week is ambitious. While strong volume and sentiment could carry Tesla higher, such a rapid move would likely need a powerful catalyst like stellar delivery data or fresh AI/robotaxi headlines.
For the 10% upward momentum to happen, volume needs to stay elevated and macro sentiment must remain supportive. However RSI is already in overbought territory. For those new to investing, RSI stands for Relative Strength Index. RSI is one of the most widely used momentum indicators in technical analysis.
Tesla's RSI recently surged past 70, signaling ovetbought territory. That does not mean it will crash but it does suggest that the rally might pause or consolidate.

However going past Tesla's all time high of USD 488 is a psychological ceiling and investors may hesitate to chase a stock that has already surged so much.
So a tiered entry or using Options strategy would be a good idea. For those investors who already own Tesla shares, a good Options strategy is to buy a Protective Put.
A Protective Put on Tesla is like buying insurance for your Tesla shares.
This can be done by buying a Put Option on Tesla with a strike price below the current market price for example :
Buy Sep 2025 at USD 390 Put
This gives you the right to sell Tesla at that strike price, no matter how low the stock drops. So if Tesla tumbles your losses are capped. If it rallies you still enjoy the upside minus the cost of the Put.

分析師表示，這是迄今爲止最強烈的信號，表明馬斯克在經歷了今年的動盪開局後，正在“猛踩油門”，並與特斯拉全面重新接觸。
要知道电动车（EV）市场竞争激烈，包括中国厂商、欧洲竞争者等。政策补贴、税费优惠等外部因素也可能变动。若这些不利，会削弱上涨动力。我觉得是短期反弹罢了。 @Tiramisu2020
