Who here was predicting a 4 digit spike? A lot of us put sell orders in for a few(some a lot) shares at 4 digits, but that was just in case it happened. My prediction, and I think a lot of folks, was that we'd be around $650 rolling into Friday morning and spike somewhere north of $750 up toward $850. 4 digits was literally a fantasy.
I'm interested in seeing how today and tomorrow shake out now that all the front-runners and weak longs have sold. Most shareholders are now indexers or semi-passive institutions and much stronger conviction longs. Do MM's have to deleverage all that SP pushdown from Friday? Do the more determined shorts need to cover now there was no spike and crash? Are more benchmark funds going to blink and buy prior to year-end?
A run up from $408 to $658 is 61% and nothing to sneeze at, especially at already elevated levels, but something still smells fishy too me considering the conviction of TSLA holders. Liquidity should be ultra-tight right now and it would only take one of the above uncertainties to push us back near or over the inclusion price.
Certainly glad I sold 1/3 of my 12/24 $700's @ $37 last week, because they're at $4.50 today. I think MM's would love to keep us below $650 this week and $700 should be no problem, however a couple $700's bought today @ $4 might look pretty good by Wednesday if MM's lose their grasp on $650 and have to retreat and protect $700. Greater than 25% chance of that IMO.
That being said I know next to nothing, something just feels off.
