A whale trade was detected in Tesla $TSLA option flow on July 15, 2022. Someone placed a million-dollar bet that Tesla stock would rise by mid-August.
There was a buyer of 3,000 of the August 880/910 call spreads at an average price of $3 per contract. The trader bet $900,000 that Tesla’s stock could rise 27% by August expiration.
On July 15, 2022, a day after the news broke of this whale trade, the option flow in $TSLA became somewhat bearish. The bearish activity in the option flow stream shows -$3.74 million, behind only $BABA stock.

My guess is that the whale is looking at the money flow and moving averages on the stock chart of Tesla.

Elon Musk will continue to be the target of the Biden regime for his hard-right turn in support of the Republican party as we predicted in the Saturday Show many months ago.
The latest news on this front is that now the SEC is examining a tweet by Elon Musk in which he said that his takeover of Twitter (TWTR) “cannot move forward,” The Financial Times’ Hannah Murphy reports. SEC mergers and acquisitions officials sent Musk’s lawyers a letter asking why the Tesla (TSLA) CEO hadn’t formally notified investors of the “apparent material change” to his $44B bid through a regulatory filing.
