Yah just a theory:
They rather use the weekends to plan their next move then allowing the squeeze to happen on Friday. Seem the support is still going strong over the Internet (twitter, reddit) but better have an exit plan in mind. I thought 1k is too much but its hard to say, lol!
I agree, I was watching it all day, they were fishing for shares. $250 is where the pain is
u see, assuming no catalyst like SEC trading halts, the theory is very good. It's supposed to go up and painful for shorts.
But the risks are government intervention (as price goes up, more pressure to intervene), SEC already put out statement on illegal market manipulation (hinting u and give u chance/warning), offering, selling by insiders(already happen by some south Korea coy)
looking at video from senators like Warren, she is asking sec to step in and do their job. According to people like her, stock market not supposed to be this way
so u can see, SEC says protect retail investors, means they not gonna let this mania continue much longer, the more people get involved, the more pressure to act
For me, my bias would be go on short side because no short squeeze last forever. The easy money has been made so pls lock it in and at least preserve ur capital. I'll still watch it and play according depending on how it behaves.
But the risks are very high that government will do something. The ban on buying already show dirty they are but as trader, u have to accept that while this ban is on, it means price only go down so play accordingly
next week, I'm assuming there's no BS about not enough money for RH to clear as it should be settled liao. So the buying mania may continue but I suspect SEC will step in if the price keep rising because this will trap more and more retail into get rich scheme
