There's also someone who desperately wants to mark down the TSLA price: there were two brutal sell spikes today, at 11:17am with 75k shares sold in a very short amount of time, and 11:29am when 87k TSLA shares were sold in a 'dumb spike' that no genuine seller of the stock would utilize. Today there were no macro events that would have caused these spikes/icicles: NASDAQ futures were rising and stable, Dow futures were rising, the dollar was stable. There was no Tesla specific news either that would have triggered these orders.
Saw two of these spikes/icicles yesterday as well (November 6) at 12:45 and 15:53 and chalked them up to probably elections related deleveraging - but today there's no such reason - it looks like a clear attempt to mark down the TSLA price below the key $347 level.
In particular the Nov 6 12:45 event was remarkable in that it dropped the TSLA price by $2 within a fraction of a second. Very few rational market participants would execute an order than that, without the intent to drop the price in a visible fashion and cause losses to Tesla investors (which I believe is illegal price manipulation).
This could be another entry to
@Papafox's growing list of 'weird TSLA price events'.
If only we had a federal government agency tasked with overseeing the health of the financial markets, having the power to request transaction level data that identifies the traders behidn those selling spikes, enforcing laws that prohibit illegal market manipulation!
