These rides of buying and selling are so interesting to me to observe. Nuts that it can run again to $240 ("phew, we're out of the woods...Tesla will dominate, etc.") and then lose $100 dollars and loop back down to $140-$150 ("TSLA's growth story is over..."). I know these runs happen, I've seen them. I just don't understand the psychology behind it. If TSLA is worth $240 then it should stay there and maybe float higher, and if it's really worth $140-$150 how in the world does it get to $240? I probably asked this question or a version of it every time but still don't understand it.
Is it profit-taking when we get up there which then cascades price down as people trip over each other to exit and lower their asks? But why/how do we get up there in the first place if things are so dire?
