To The Moon

 $Alphabet(GOOGL)$  $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$  $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$  My daily update 18Dec25🇺🇸 | 19Dec25🇳🇿

I’m not treating this pullback as risk, I’m treating it as a liquidity map being redrawn in real time.

I’m reading this tape as structural strength with controlled digestion, not distribution. Price, power, positioning, and compute are all aligning once you step back from the noise.

📊 Price structure and levels that matter

I’m anchored to the $464.55–$473.01 demand band. That zone matters because it’s where higher-timeframe buyers have repeatedly defended structure. Above it, $477 remains the tactical level I want reclaimed and held. We recently printed fresh all-time highs near $496 before this volatility reset, exactly what I expect to see when liquidity, options positioning, and momentum align during rotation.

RSI is sitting around 69, because it’s $TSLA, not because momentum is broken. This is discovery versus consolidation, not a trend failure. Structure remains firmly bullish. I do believe $TSLA trades well north of $500, just not every single day in a straight line.

On the 4H, price remains above the rising EMA stack with Keltner compression after expansion, which tells me momentum is resetting without structural damage. This still reads as digestion, not distribution.

Yes, I added a few extra $TSLA shares at $476.13. Entirely rational. Possibly previously owned by Gary Black 🤣

🧲 Options flow and open interest, where the real signals are

The options surface continues to do the heavy lifting. Calls have crossed puts, and we saw roughly $10M net flow into short-dated, single-leg calls as $TSLA pushed into new highs.

The more important tell sits further out on the curve. Bulls in the Feb 2026 $600C finished the session with roughly $60M still on the line. $34K contracts were held overnight from an original $49K position. Whales trimmed exposure, but they did not exit. When size stays, conviction stays.

There is still a massive call wall at $500. Above $500, dealers are forced to buy strength instead of fading it, which flips volatility from dampening into acceleration. That’s how gamma squeezes form. Until then, I expect pinning, probing, and sharp two-way trade around liquidity pockets.

Cathie Wood would have made roughly $1.7M more trimming $TSLA yesterday versus the prior session. That contrast matters to me. Active managers are still trading tactically around the position, while longer-dated option holders are staying put. Different time horizons, different objectives, same underlying asset.

🏗️ Cortex 2.0 at Giga Texas, this is no longer speculation

Tesla has now confirmed via fire alarm and detection system permits that Cortex 2.0 at Giga Texas is a 200MW datacenter. That is small-city-level power. Instead of lighting streets, it’s training Optimus.

Steel is already up. The roof is roughly half complete. The facility is targeted to be operational late 2025. It will run thousands of Nvidia GPUs processing video and simulation for Optimus movement, navigation, and manipulation, built on the same AI platform that runs Full Self-Driving.

For context, xAI’s Colossus already operates around 200,000 Nvidia GPUs. Cortex 2.0 likely matches or exceeds that class of compute. Elon’s stated ambition is a terawatt of compute over time, roughly equivalent to total US electrical production. You can debate the ambition, but the steel and concrete are already going up in Austin.

This is the kind of infrastructure that quietly shifts Tesla from an auto multiple debate into a platform multiple conversation.

The business model is familiar. Sell the robot, monetise the AI updates. FSD, but with legs. Internal Optimus units targeted for 2025, external sales targeted for 2026. Elon has framed the long-term market opportunity at $25 trillion. You don’t need to underwrite that number to understand the direction of travel.

This is not a demo phase. This is production infrastructure.

🌍🇮🇳 Quiet global expansion

Tesla just lit up its first India charging site in Gurugram, four V4 Superchargers up to 250kW plus three destination chargers at 11kW. A subtle but important signal that the ecosystem is expanding beyond the US.

🧠 Regulatory noise versus market reality

$TSLA is now up roughly +120% since Tim Walz publicly celebrated the stock dropping. Markets have a sense of humour. Liquidity doesn’t trade speeches.

Today’s dip also shrugs off California DMV scrutiny around Autopilot marketing language. Tesla has been given 60 days to adjust terminology or risk sales restrictions in California. I see this as headline risk, not thesis risk, especially as robotaxi testing in Austin continues without safety drivers.

My bottom line

If $TSLA reclaims and holds above $477, then $486.77, I treat this pullback as a routine volatility reset inside a bullish regime. If not, the $473.01 to $464.55 band is the next high-probability battleground, and I’m comfortable with that context.

This remains a story about compute, optionality, and positioning. Price is simply the scoreboard.
