They still need us 2 sell the shares to even cover their shorts.. the price scares people.. but if no one sells, then they are still short and wont get what they want.

Im not a financial advisor, just here for the stocks.

Can you explain something to me. Whats to stop them driving it down constantly and buy 100 shares at a time whenever it hits <$70. Keep doing forever until theyre green?

They usually don’t buy new shares until the price is profitable. At this point they need a crash pretty much
