I think there were definitely elements of a short squeeze in play today. Volume was 4 times the average! Now, I could be wrong, but I think there are a lot of small traders (and even some big ones) who had their eyes off the ball today, with shopping and vacations and stuff. Also the margin calls will go out tonight; some shorts might get very unwelcome emails overnight. So, personally, I think there is more run-up for SCTY tomorrow (and hopefully TSLA too, although not as pronounced). Anyway, a very happy day for me!
Of course the other possibility is a reaction against the move(s). I'm happy to just watch it play out, since I was very long on both stocks.
