$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ $Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ πŸ“Š My Daily Structure And Technical Read

I’m watching $TSLA consolidate at the very top of a powerful advance after printing a new 2025 high at $481.37. This is strength before resolution, not after. Price continues to respect the key Fibonacci band at $469.40 and $474, which remains the critical structural zone to hold for continuation. So far, this area has acted as firm support rather than a failure point.

The consolidation range is clearly defined between the mid $460s and the $480 handle. This is constructive compression, not distribution. $TSLA is actively testing the weekly upward trend line for the first clean attempt this year. That trend line has capped price multiple times, so the market probing it with tightening structure and declining volatility is a meaningful development.

The moving average stack remains aligned across short, medium, and longer timeframes, with price holding above rising support and maintaining internal channel integrity. Momentum has cooled without damaging structure. MACD has completed a reset and is beginning to curl higher again, signalling stored internal energy rather than exhaustion. RSI is holding in the upper neutral to bullish transition band, which leaves room for expansion without being stretched.

Volume behaviour continues to reinforce this read. Expansion legs were volume supported, while consolidation has seen volume taper materially. Current volume remains well below prior impulse phases, which is consistent with digestion rather than distribution. Liquidity pockets remain visible above current price, with a clear vacuum beyond the $480s. Acceptance above the weekly trend line would expose the higher timeframe range between $576 and $615.

πŸ” My View On Autonomy, FSD, And Strategic Advantage

I continue to frame Tesla as an autonomy and robotics company first, not simply an EV manufacturer. The most important development is Elon Musk’s confirmation on December 15 that Tesla has begun fully unsupervised Robotaxi testing in Austin, with no human safety drivers or occupants. This is a genuine step change. It moves Tesla from assisted autonomy narratives into real world deployment validation.

Fleet data shows 31 active Robotaxi vehicles in Austin, up from 29 in November, with internal plans pointing toward meaningful scaling in 2026. This is cadence, not concept. Autonomy is now interacting with the chart rather than sitting in the background.

Recent political developments are adding a macro dimension to the robotics narrative. President Donald Trump’s administration has signalled stronger support for robotics and automation technology, which investors are now viewing as a potential structural tailwind for companies like Tesla with meaningful AI and Optimus exposure. This policy backdrop has helped recast Tesla as a robotics and automation bellwether in markets where broader EV fundamentals remain mixed. At the same time, Optimus is moving into the cultural spotlight, with public showcases drawing significant attention ahead of its expected 2026 production timeline. While scepticism persists around early robot demonstrations and execution timelines, Tesla’s robotics ambitions remain a core part of how the market is pricing future optionality.

FSD v14.2.1, rolled out as part of the 2025 Holiday Update, represents another material inflection. Intervention rates have improved sharply, with analysis pointing to as much as 9,200 miles between interventions. Behavioural improvements such as smoother reversals, faster hazard responses, and materially improved parking logic reflect real neural net maturity rather than cosmetic iteration. Zero nags improvements continue to reduce driver friction and accelerate adoption.

Street validation is beginning to converge with what the chart and the data are already signalling. Wedbush’s Daniel Ives reiterated an Outperform rating on $TSLA and maintained his $600 price target, explicitly framing 2026 as a defining year as Tesla enters the autonomous and robotics era. Wedbush highlighted accelerating Robotaxi rollout following the successful Austin deployment, alongside expectations for Cybercab volume production beginning around April to May. Importantly, the note makes clear that vehicle deliveries are becoming less central to the thesis, with AI, autonomy, and robotics now viewed as Tesla’s next major growth chapter and a structural re-rating driver.

Tesla’s continued reluctance to broadly license FSD remains a strategic advantage. Vertical integration allows Tesla to compound data, learning, and deployment faster than legacy automakers who remain locked into fragmented supplier models. The competitive gap is structural rather than cyclical, and it continues to widen.

πŸ“° My Read On Dark Pool Positioning And Institutional Flow

Flow continues to confirm the chart. A notable $2.5M call position went up in the $520 strike for 30JAN2026, with additional bullish exposure pushing total call premium north of $6M across longer dated structures. More importantly, positioning has extended further out the curve, reinforcing long duration conviction rather than short term speculation.

Dark pool activity remains elevated, with recent off exchange buying estimated around $287M. This level of absorption, combined with reduced volatility near highs, suggests institutions are building exposure rather than distributing into strength. I am not seeing the aggressive sell side behaviour that typically accompanies exhaustion phases. Flow and structure remain aligned.

🎯 My Trend Map And What I Am Watching Next

I’m focused on whether $TSLA can achieve acceptance above the weekly upward trend line. A sustained hold above that level would mark a regime shift from consolidation into expansion. Above there, liquidity thins quickly into the $500 psychological zone, with the $576 to $615 range acting as the next higher timeframe magnet.

If price pauses instead, I expect further tightening rather than failure as long as the $469.40 and $474 Fibonacci band continues to hold. Exhaustion risk only increases if we see failed acceptance paired with expanding downside volume, which is not present today.

Macro cross currents remain a background risk, including softer EV demand narratives and growth skepticism. However, regulatory credit revenue, autonomy progress, and institutional positioning continue to offset those concerns. Catalysts and structure remain aligned. Autonomy developments support the narrative. Flow supports the chart. Volatility remains part of the process, not a signal of breakdown.

Tesla With No Driver? Is $500 Possible at Year-End?
On December 14, an X user captured footage of a Tesla Model Y driving through the streets of Austin, appearing to have no one inside the vehicleβ€”not even a safety supervisor. Later that Sunday, Tesla CEO Elon Musk responded, stating that the company is currently testing robotaxis operating without human safety drivers. Will Tesla set new all time highs in December? How do you view robotaxi?

      Matapihi, I appreciate that. Confidence comes from understanding structure, not from ignoring volatility. When the thesis is grounded in positioning, flow, and regime context, short term noise matters a lot less. Holding the line only works when the framework stays intact and that’s what I focus on.

      breAkdaWn absolutely. Credit where it’s due, this is one of those moments where Musk really is setting the tempo. I’ve watched a lot of cycles and very few leaders actually change the direction of the tape the way he does when execution starts to show up.

    🌟πŸ’₯ yeah this one hits. your post actually makes the structure make sense, not just lines everywhere. price chilling, volatility behaving, flow not freaking out. kinda feels like the market’s just catching its breath. ngl i like how you framed it without forcing a move. $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$  vibes feel way cleaner than most stuff on my feed rn 🧹πŸ’₯ let's gooooo

    I like how you tied structure to narrative without forcing it. Liquidity pockets above are obvious, but the discipline is waiting for confirmation. Positioning feels patient, not euphoric. Macro pressure hasn’t broken the internal trend, which is telling. Reminds me of how $Amazon.com(AMZN)$ behaved before its last regime change when flow quietly accumulated.

      HS, spot on. Macro easing pressure on weaker balance sheets quietly benefits leaders. Cross asset stability is doing more work than people realise.

    This reads like a market that’s absorbing, not distributing. The way you mapped momentum against support zones is clean. Volatility staying contained while price holds structure usually signals intent. Cross asset correlations aren’t flashing risk yet. I’m seeing similar positioning behaviour in $Alphabet(GOOGL)$ where flow stayed constructive despite headline churn.

    I’m aligned with your read here. Your post frames $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ as a structure-led story rather than a headline chase, and that matters. Volatility is compressing while momentum stays constructive, which usually precedes regime resolution. I’m also watching how flow is respecting support despite macro noise. Similar structure showed up in $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ before its last expansion phase, where liquidity pockets sat quietly until price accepted higher.
