TSLA is completely manipulated and its how i knew the outcome of Nov 5th. I wouldnt trust this going to 460 however.
While the information I predominately post has nothing to do with trading; its focused on longs not swing traders. I do from time to time post information about short term trading. I warned people against shorting Tesla before ER.
I think hes trying to get people to short this to help squeeze. Your assessment seems correct but this likely needs Trump win for next leg (which i think the chart is indicating). Apparently Harris win will cause a crash.
You live in opposite land? Drops before news is usually bullish. Pumps before news is usually bearish. Again, my chart suggests accumulation is going on so do not hold short positions. This could drop more after earnings but that just means TSLA will pump with election which suggests Trump winning.
Here is a collection of my research going over multiple subjects including Tesla AI/Neural Net for AB missile systems, SpaceX satellites = grid of satellites for Brilliant Pebbles, September 11ths SpaceX connection, & Musk = DoD stooge. https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=175270333
