BTW., yesterday TSLA closed at an ATH, and as a result there were elevated volumes of after-market trading of 600k shares, presumably quite a few from margin calls turning into forced covering after an ATH day, but unlike in previous instances this liquidity didn't push up the price significantly, it was soaked up in the $570-$572 range.
This morning's early trading at 4am ET started with 57k shares traded already, and a push down to around $562 was executed, against overall calm macro trends as you noted:
This is relatively high volume early-early-market trading if I may coin the 4am-8am phase that way.
Usual volumes are just a few thousand shares, normally.
We'll see. If we indeed have options writers anxious to set an example for a favorable closing price tomorrow, then they might expend some (comparatively cheaper) firepower in early trading to signal that they control the price.
Not advice in any case.
