New options trade idea on Tesla as it fluctuates violently from Elon Musk’s antics!

The S&P 500 has been rallying hard this July…but the run might be losing steam.


The index has now closed above its upper Bollinger Band for 8 straight sessions. That’s a classic sign of overextension and often signals a pullback is near.


Most of the upside is being driven by just a few mega-cap names like NVDA, AAPL, and MSFT. When a rally gets this narrow, it raises the risk of a broader correction.


Trade Idea: Bearish Credit Spread on TSLA


TSLA looks especially vulnerable right now—not just technically, but because of growing analyst concerns about Musk’s political distractions. Building a third party takes time and focus, and that may come at the expense of running the company.

Here’s one way to play it:


Sell Aug 15 $360 Call

Buy Aug 15 $365 Call


  • Break-even: ~$361

  • Max profit if TSLA stays below $360

  • Current price: $301.60

  • That’s nearly 20% cushion

  • ~90% probability of profit


This is not necessarily a trade I’m taking… but it’s a new idea that’s come up due to the volatility of a well known name. 


With credit spreads, you need liquidity to get filled… and Tesla sees huge volume. Plus, a nice potential winner here at 90% probability.
