Tesla Sees 30% Profit Growth As AI Focus Drives Investor Debate.... Where Are We Going With It Next?

Not gonna lie, TSLA has been one of the more confusing yet interesting charts lately.

On one side, you’ve got earnings coming in with expectations of around 30% profit growth and -15% revenue growth, which sounds bullish at first. But at the same time, the stock is still down about 20% from its highs and trading at a pretty stretched valuation. Feels like the market isn’t really treating Tesla as just a car company anymore… it’s more about AI, robotaxis, and whatever Musk is building next.

I was watching it closely before earnings and didn’t want to just blindly long it. Instead, I used getclaw to track sentiment and past earnings reactions, and one thing stood out… TSLA doesn’t always move on the actual numbers, it’s more about expectations vs the bigger narrative.

So when I saw the stock pushing up slightly before earnings, even with mixed analyst views, I took a short-term long on stock futures. Nothing big, just a quick trade riding the pre-earnings momentum along with the broader market bounce since S&P and Nasdaq were both green.

Personally, I’m staying flexible here. If they drop something meaningful around robotaxis or AI, it could run. If not, I wouldn’t be surprised to see another pullback since expectations are already all over the place.

Curious how others are playing TSLA right now… holding through earnings or just trading the volatility?

SpaceX pre-IPO on IPO Prime… is access actually equal? I have dug into it a little...

Tomorrow might be the big day for lots of investors as SpaceX is rumored to have -1B shares at a $1.5T valuation, which puts 1 share around $1,500. On IPO Prime, it is at -$650. So technically, we are ahead of +130% already..

Anyway, that changes and its a plus opportunity for the VIP users. Thus, VIP status directly impacts on these....

  • Allocation size
  • Total exposure to the deal
  • Additional rewards like Phase 2 airdrops

And here two users can enter the same opportunity, but their starting position may differ depending on their tier, which is interesting. But no one is left behind, everyone gets their share depending on their tiers.

For example, higher-tier users tend to receive larger allocations and added incentives, which can increase their overall exposure. Lower-tier users can still participate, just with a smaller allocation.

It definitely adds another layer to how the opportunity works.

That’s not unusual since most platforms reward higher activity or volume, but it’s something worth understanding so you can approach it with the right expectations.

Curious if anyone here has actually compared numbers between VIP and non-VIP allocations or returns? or Anyone planning planning to change their tier right now?

Oil Drops 10% on Hormuz Reopening Hype, But Is the Risk Really Gone?

Oil just dropped over 10% after claims that the Strait of Hormuz is open again, pushing Brent near $88.90 and WTI around $83. T

his route carries about a quarter of global seaborne oil, so even the idea of it reopening quickly removes a lot of fear from the market. I’ve seen this kind of move before where geopolitical tension drives prices up and a single positive update triggers a sharp reversal, but the reality is shipping through Hormuz doesn’t instantly normalize.

There are still risks around logistics, insurance, and whether the ceasefire actually holds. Right now, the market is reacting more to sentiment than confirmed stability, and that’s where traders usually get caught chasing moves.

For me, this looks more like a relief reaction than a full trend shift, because if tensions return, oil can rebound just as fast. The key takeaway here is not to trade the headline itself but to think about how much of that risk is actually gone versus just temporarily priced out.

I will be watching the market only for few days, as situation changes so far..

Should We Keep an eye on XRP, Plasma, DOGE as bitcoin drifts?

XRP is starting to pick up again. Spot XRP ETFs saw over $17M in inflows on Wednesday, the highest since early February. Still smaller than bitcoin flows, but it’s a clear shift after a quiet stretch.

On the fundamentals, Ripple’s partnership with Kyobo Life to pilot South Korea’s first real-time tokenized government bond system adds some solid narrative.

Derivatives are lining up too. Open interest is back to 1.89B XRP, with positive funding and rising volume delta, showing traders are leaning more bullish here.

Plasma, a stablecoin-focused layer 1, is quietly climbing the ranks and now sits as the 7th largest chain by TVL. It’s at around $2B, up 27% this week and over 80% in the past month. The exact driver isn’t clear, but growing optimism around the U.S. CLARITY Act could be playing a role.

It’s also getting stronger positioning. Plasma was selected alongside Ethereum and Arbitrum to support Tether’s new self-custody wallet, which adds credibility.

On another note, DOGE is setting up for a move. Bollinger Bands are at their tightest since Feb 2024, which usually signals low volatility before a bigger breakout.

As for bitcoin, things look more balanced. Profit-taking onchain, mixed spot demand, and cautious options flow suggest it’s likely to keep ranging around the $75K area for now.
