I mean it should have gone up higher if no one sold. The thing is the people selling short HAD to buy because of accrued interest on their short sells. Fake buyers can buy and sell all day to themselves at lower prices but unless the market makers cover their investments the price ultimately goes up.
Their games worked is all it means. They paid a hefty sum but if more people had diamond hands they could have paid that much more.
No problem!
This is a cute and pop genocide of love!
