In my experience of stock trading, is that those large enough, powerful enough and connected enough, to control share price through prolonged manipulation, are immune from prosecution. The big boys still aren't done accumulating this company. They will run it up and down in controlled ranges until they get all the shares they want. I don't see it ending any time soon. Huge news will break through their algorithm and lead to fast increases. The share price will stair-step up in this way in a very volatile "leveling up" process. Like I said before, the goal is to cause retail shareholders to fear that they've missed the top and to dump their shares. No better way to get the paper hands to sell than extreme volatility.
I predict explosions in share price that occur in very short periods, like 2-4 weeks, that then hold steady for long periods before the next explosion. In this way, the share price will almost double each time. I think we go from $40 to like $80. Then like $150. Then like $300-$400. Then $800-ish. Etc, etc, etc. I really don't think we're going to see a steady rise in small increments. It's going to jump from new high to new high in a wild fashion. We'll probably see a 50x by the 2030-2032 timeframe.
