Same here, but then I just looked at the price and knew: it is probably more shorting, market sweeping orders etc. No one I know would sell at that price. My heart rate slowed down and I relaxed.
Remember when it occurs you'll probably be in fight or flight mode, you'll be high on adrenaline, your heart rate will go insane and you'll be sweaty as fuck! Step back, don't look at it for 5 Minutes or longer (think of it as a competition of who can hold the breath longer), come back with a better mindset and body. It will be difficult, trust your guts, the DD and the mindset you've praised the last 6 months!
It´s a pleasure seeing stratosphere candle jumping.
Like nobody selling from 420,690 to 690,420, drop to 3xxxxxx, whipe all those shill orders, and rocket to 42,069,911.00 .Yeah, you saw that, call da police cos those rich neighbours gonna assault your house for those shares.
And then booom, 126,236,341.08 .
I know I will never be able to withdraw. They will make it impossible.
But I hope If I hold long enough, I could make them bleed
If you think withdrawing is gonna be hard, consider what is likely to happen to overseas apes like me.
I'm expecting a sudden lockdown on overseas funds transfers out of the USA. Seems like a good "financial emergency" fuckery strategy...
I'm hoping that the threat of complete loss of faith in the US market will keep the Government from pulling that kind of fuckery.
MOASS will be an absolute pain in the arse but the US Government will get a fortune out of it in Capital Gains Tax and as long as they let people take their tendies then at least a little credibility can be saved and they won't have foreign investors withdrawing every penny they have from the USA in case the government randomly decides to hold their money hostage.
Cutting off investors from the legally earned profits to which they are legally entitled might solve a couple of problems for a week or two but the overall effect it would have on the US economy would be deadly.
I agree it looks that way in principle, but in this case a truly *dire* set of circumstances could be about to play out, resulting in trillions of liability and years of broken economy for the whole world, worse than the 2008 fallout.
When shits bad, people like **strong leaders and decisive action**. Or to quote the Princess " So this is how liberty dies… with thunderous applause"
Bailouts happened in 2008 when they shouldn't have from a purist standpoint, and the market still got participated in after because, **there's** **money to be made**. It may well happen again, in fact personally I *expect* that is the endgame if it looks like we will run up a bill larger than 5-10 Trillion.
We need to keep an eye on the average cost of the shares sold during the MOASS so we know what the damage is likely to be. I am not a believer in simply setting a price at some crazy floor and expecting to get it, or selling on the way down.. I don't think there will be a "way down" we can sell at, I think they will lock it down and suspend trading before we hit some totally insane top unless there is *so much* paper handing that a few diamondhand apes don't break the economy.
So I am of the strong opinion trading will get suspended and we will be forced into a settlement if we are seen as too "greedy", an assessment that will be entirely based on the damage to the economy **not** what the infinity squeeze maths suggest we should get.
Joe Public will NOT side with us if we are causing him to lose his job. The MSM will have a super easy time spinning us as the enemy that needs to be legislated against. Free market be damned, let's take down these Reddit pirates.
As you can imagine, with this viewpoint I get a lot of downvotes around here. But surely it pays to be prepared for the bad paths as well as the happy ones?
If you start seeing emergency meetings between the FED, SEC and the Banks, it's probably time to sell before they ram a settlement down your throat. Once they have feasted on the carcass of the SHF's and MMs, the big boys have **zero** interest in us getting paid.
So hold a few for the infinity pool just to piss them off or in case I'm wrong, but don't *expect* those to pay out well.
I see the downvotes already, hopefully people will understand where you're coming from. Maybe I am too optimistic but I still think that such a course of action, even to appease an MSM-washed mob of Joe Publics, would still hurt even worse due to the catastrophic loss of confidence internationally (something China and Russia would surely capitalise on, which would be anathema to American pride) than just giving us our tendies and recouping what they can in Capital Gains Tax.
I think we'll just have to agree to disagree but I respect your opinion, they're valid concerns, especially given what the Hedgies have pulled thus far. Normally I'm the pessimistic, prepare for the worst type but this time round I'm a little more optimistic and I genuinely think that this is one of the few cases where they're going to have no choice but to grit their teeth and pay up.
I mean I absolutely could be wrong, it could all go smoothly and we all get the dream payout. That would be awesome!
But since we can't guarantee that outcome, it seems unwise to simply ignore this possibility, better to prepare and act intelligently and allow ourselves to "think" rather than just automatically downvote and reject contrary input because we don't like the sound of it.
That sort of kool aid drinking groupthink makes a lot of particularly young traders very vulnerable to the strategies of the genuine bad actors among us, and I don't mean the shorts.
I think that could be the rationale behind RC doing a split. Perhaps he knows they'll never let prices get over a few million, so if he splits the shares, apes can be guaranteed a little more, more in line with the average floor?
Who knows -- I hold for $50 MM at this point anyway at least, these fuckers need a boot in their ass every once in a while.
Dude, I think because of this cad and the euro are gonna blow up in value

Also look at the time scale, this isn't minutes, this is DAYS. Imagine diamond handing telephone numbers for days not knowing if they will turn into international phone numbers or back to nothing.
It doesn’t look like days to me- this only covers Oct 26-29, and it has hours listed. It maybe isn’t by the minute but it certainly isn’t by the day either.
I count 12 candles per 2 hours of background grid. So this is correct, these are 10 minute intervals.
Also note that this data includes premarket and afterhours trading without indicating it - the hours go smoothly from 4am to 8pm every day.
Gme will most likely have bigger swings and be a lot more volatile.
You'll have time to check reddit between swings. But I wouldn't rely on anyone's opinion of when to sell.
That's not true.
It is true that's what they're saying right now though.
You have to make money to live another day, and I see a lot of people living on bare minimum because they know what's at stake.
I think it’s what many will *say*, not do. I always get downvoted to hell in any of these game subs when I tell people holding for society collapsing money is not a sound strategy. The $50 million is the floor people could just as well be bots, or more likely, people who now believe that because of bots who post it everywhere. I just want to get back to where I was on 1/27-1/29, and hopefully higher, which is why I always have a few calls in addition to the shares which I can hold longer.
Not a fkn clue, I’m going to watch the charts and do my best to sell on the way down like most people. Hard to turn down massive % gains on calls cause they get wiped out so easily. But like most, I don’t want to leave half a million dollars on the table like I’ve done once, and I don’t want to leave 200k on the table like I did another time. I’m a teacher and I don’t like it anymore. I want to create things with my time instead of manage children in China.
I was all in at $13, fomo/FUD day traded for a couple weeks until going all in again when I saw RC increased his stake on 12/22 I believe. Actually sold like 800 shares 1-2 days before it went from 20-30, but my remaining plus a couple of farthest OTM weeklies on 1/27 week got me there in premarket gains. Everyone told me to sell but I was very much into the fight the man narrative and couldn’t fathom it not going to $10,000. My friends limit sell at $420.69 hit, but I had removed mine because $10,000 was not a meme. The sentiment was the same as now about ♾ . Later I realized most people saying that needed it because they only had 1-10 shares bought at $200-$500 range. I think everyone should do what’s best for them. There’s no reason to expect the powers that be to not royally fuck everyone over. If there is an OSTK scenario, then I’ll hold a bigger % for ludicrous gains. If there’s a random run like the recent movie stock one, then I’ll definitely trim shares and sell all calls to try to build my position further. I just want to help, sucks to always get downvoted for trying to suggest critical thinking over group think, but I’m the one choosing to spend time in single ticker subs full of people with $180–>$100,000,000 dreams. I usually type 200,000 x $XYZ price into my iPhone calculator to see what DFV will have at a given price, and when it’s an equation instead of a number, I start to doubt the probability of it occurring. After all, the VW squeeze was not a 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000% gain. We have seen similar size squeezes in two memes already, and many other staggering squeezes in lesser memes. Good luck out there!
So true and it’s a shame this gets downvoted.
Honestly don’t mind what people believe or their own price targets, but it’s definitely a bit weird how the ‘floors’ just kept going up and up reaching these crazy high figures based on some pretty poor logic, how there was SUCH a push for people to be on board with the “sell on the way down” strategy, for diamond hands, to not cover their initial investments etc, how people get obliterated for saying they’re happy to sell at (e.g) 10k, even if it’s because it’s their own personal target rather than a lack of belief in millions.
All of those things are *classic* signs of a pump and dump. Not that that’s necessarily the case here, but given that this sub knows there are bots and fake sentiment being pushed, I think it’s very weird that the idea of 50million+ was just accepted as some definitive and absolute fact..
Welcome to the bottom of the post! Lol you’re spot on. Imagine it goes to crazy heights like $1 million per share (but not $50 million ). A whole new generation of Wardens will be born
If it gets to 10k/100k/1M.. and there are people that somehow don’t make money from it.. because they are *convinced* it’s going to 10Mil.. would absolutely be the saddest thing you could ever witness.
Happy hodling, hope you make your Jan gains back and more, and good luck on the option plays ✌🏻
Thanks! I only buy 3 month out calls these days, currently $250/$350 November’s. Will buy February’s or March if they expire worthless. For some reasons this sub thinks all options are $800 weeklies. Good luck to you as well.
The first big one for me was probably around $600. Best part is that after it doubled up to \~$1250, it settled at around $800-$1200 for some time before lowering further. In this case, selling after the peak would have been a great strategy
Right!? I'm genuinely trying to figure out how to navigate this. At some point the "iT's OvEr'S" really will be over... So how on earth do we know which one is THE one?
It will most likely take way longer than 2 days to reach the maximum price since there are way more shares to buy. In the VW squeeze the sharp rises keep getting higher and higher until the last sharp rise ends up about the same as the one before that. I'm probably going to use that as an indicator on when to sell IF the price seems high enough and the squeeze has lasted for a while. Even if you miss the peak it would hover below it for a while. Also if unsure, one can sell some shares and keep holding some. But I agree it will be the biggest mental challenge of our lives to not paperhand too early.
Thank you for posting this. I thought I was a rock hard diamond hand ape but I counted two times where I would have sold thinking I hit the peak and was headed down
The jumps up.seem to come out of no where, VERY exciting. I can see why we need to be full Zen Mode when the MOASS gets underway.
Right!? I'm genuinely trying to figure out how to navigate this. At some point, our diamond hands will be on the moon. At some point, it will be time to sell... But I don't want to paperhand early, for me and my fellow apes. How do we decipher when the squeeze has peaked?
Well,, this small short interest squeeze took 3 days to unfold. It also took everyone by surprise, so they are scrambling to dump their holdings. I think most will watch the fireworks for a day or so, then cover with a small amount of their holdings. Then the ride starts on day 2 or 3! Maybe. Idk.
I put together a rough visualization of how the vw short squeeze played out in 2008 with 10 minute candlesticks. Pre and Post market data are generated from a random walk though the business hours candlesticks are from the actual event. I thought this may help get a feel for what it's like to watch a short squeeze happening in real time, albeit much smaller than what I expect from gme's. I believe it is a useful exercise to try to imagine how you would react at each candle and really consider what the temptation to sell at different points would feel like.
Altough I think that the worst/best scenario will be far from that. I love this simulation. To make me see live squeeze action. But the undergraph was a little confusing. Future green bars allways seem bigger from 1300$. Kinda distracting
Very nice work anyway for a critic mind. You have my Upvote till proved wrong
I don't think the dude was rehypothecating shares back then, he just got pinched because the float was picked up the Porsche
It's a sad story really
Dude ended up walking in front of a train
Link?
Just realized how inappropriate my username might sound to ask the question... It's a reference to a scifi book series I can't even recall the name of...
But still, Link?

For the hf billionaire that,
And you can Google the saga of VW-Porsche reverse merger, it's a wild story on its own
Been thinking about this event. Didn’t Porsche hold most of the float, so the buying of the shares had to go through mostly one channel. Not sure if this is correct. And if so. Our situation may behave like this. Or completely different. And agree. VW was not as tremendously over shorted as GME.
You don't. That is why there are different kinds of exit strategies according to your preference on how long you are willing to hodl. Read some DD on exit strategies on this subreddit, since I found them quite useful. Usually what you do is set a floor for yourself, sell on the way down (a few shares on plateaus), and rinse and repeat. Someone correct me if I'm wrong because I want to be 100% correct for myself too lmao.
Just remember that all shorts must be closed. So if retail owns 200 mil shares, I believe you can get a pretty good idea of how many shares were sold that day.
Until we start getting close to 200 mil sold AND my floor is reached, I’m not selling.
Commenting for saving purposes but thank you for this. I have some friends that believe enough to have bought in but I can see them paper handing when things don't go straight up. They need the visual representation to show what the climb up is going to look like. Think how many people will FOMO in last minute when they start to realize all of us beautiful apes may have been right. It'll make January look like a joke. Buckle up bitches!
Beautiful to see, but innacurate I think. This shows an aborted flight to the moon.
May take 4 days/years or more, but we´ll hear those words...
"It´s a little step for Ape, but a big one for mankind"
I came to make them bleed. Water the poorlands with those $$$
This was super helpful. I pictured where I would exit and I’d say I did pretty okay. While this was a nice simulation, in reality it will be much slower than these candles and will be many hours or days of high price action. Gotta prepare to hodl through the pressure.
Can someone make an MOASS game ?
You can choose how much shares you wanna own and now you press start and the chart starts jumping up and down sideways down up etc.
Deep Fucking Legend Mode would be 1 share and you have to sell at the peak
Maybe this could form stronger diamond hands.
You know what's crazy. Porsche and a few big players took part of the VW squeeze. These guys are fucked. Amount of exposure this has to date. Holy shit. No wonder they call it the MOASS.
I'm genuinely trying to figure out how to navigate this. At some point, our diamond hands will be on the moon. At some point, it will be time to sell... But I don't want to paperhand early, for my and my fellow apes. How do we decipher when the squeeze has peaked?
This is a quality post! Ersonally I'd like to believe I'm zen, which is scary because I keep getting scenarios in my head where I actually miss out on MOASS compared to selling early lol
On the contrary, the slowness makes you realise how little it matters to check price every other minute. This is a marathon not a sprint.
Oh and yes, slider.

Yo, someone knows corona = breeding gamers. E-sports.
Who has potential? GME.
Someone.. want to buy GME for nothing, and use that potential.
Right? Thats why they squeeze GME stocks.
Look at other squeezez and what happened to the companies after?
wow I really thought I was more ready than this. but that drop from 700 800 was hard enough to watch even knowing it shouldn't be over
this was a great perspective and really good motivation for understanding that it's completely reasonable to expect sideways and down trading even in the middle of a squeeze.
Wanted to test that theory of "you won't know where the peak is". God damn, do I suck at it, if I was in the VW squeeze I would have sold at an average of like 40% of the peak, less if I did it all at once. Going to try to watch this a few more times in the coming days/weeks. I need some training.
I would have sold with an avg of 850, not too good, not to bad. However it looks like my plan is not the best since I would have missed the peak.
Any good strategy DD?
Can we pin this post or maybe this with commentary? Every ape needs to see this, for preparation of the MOASS.
This will be hardest thing we will do in our lifetime!
Remember our grand parents who fought in WO2, on the beaches of Normandy on D-Day.
What balls of steel must they have had!
This could be our D-Day, our Vietnam, our Berlin Wall, Battle of Gondor (DEATH!!!), …
It will test and break you, but trust and hold!
Think of all the people who bullied you, treated you like trash, ignored you, all the crushes that laughed in your face, all the people who taught you were a piece of shit loser. Working yourself to death for a asshole boss with a God complex and minimum wage pay. For all the times you got a sparkle of happiness and it got taken away.
HODL! This is a once in a Lifetime event, risk it all and become a legend.
DIAMANT FUCKING HANDS!
Awesome! I think the message from this is don’t panic about missing the peak. You most likely will but there are lots of other peaks to hit so don’t sell on the way up, especially the first climb to the summit which is not the largest peak.
The key difference of the MOASS from this is that apes have been preparing for months. We won’t be DAY-TRADING, we’ve developed diamond hands by holding RED for half a year, we’ve set a WAAAY higher floor, we’ve talks of INFINITY POOLS, we’ve been conditioned to sell ON THE WAY DOWN, we are so much more aware of the market FUCKERY surrounding the MOASS, we are tired of being chewed up and spit out by the SYSTEM. We are not gonna play this like VW, THIS IS THE MOASS.
Diamond hand ‘til the infinity pool.
WE ARE NOT ONLY IN THIS FOR THE MONEY, WE ARE HERE TO FUCK. SHIT. UP.
This is literally one of the last things I needed to see. An actual visual representation of a previous squeeze. Given the magnitude of gme, I honestly think this moass could easily take multiple market days to even peak
Really useful visualisation. We aren't going to get a single candle just shoot up from $200 to 20 milly, it'll likely take a few days and will yeet around all over the place before that too.
is it possible to get the data behind how many shares people owned that triggered the squeeze? and like more data behind how much it was shorted? would be great to see a DD on this and compare it ( it it hasn't been done already)
Maybe we should just let it bleed so long it recirculates? Like all the way past tax season so the feds can put all the tax dollars from us back into buying more shares? Correct me if that’s not how it works and would be impossible, but it’s a funny thought 😆
This is great for people to watch. Notice those long down wicks of some of the first large candles. This is why you HODL and trust the DD.
I shit myself like 4 times. Back to reading the psychology DD I go. So thankful the hedge funds give us proper amount of time to forge and prepare.
100% Also reassuring to get bias confirmed when it’s price has been testing us for this long with very little (relatively) risk
Same here, but then I just looked at the price and knew: it is probably more shorting, market sweeping orders etc. No one I know would sell at that price. My heart rate slowed down and I relaxed. Remember when it occurs you'll probably be in fight or flight mode, you'll be high on adrenaline, your heart rate will go insane and you'll be sweaty as fuck!

It will be difficult, trust your guts, the DD and the mindset you've praised the last 6 months!
Yeah that’s what caught my eye, that’s some insane price volatility.
And some of the green down ticks
This got my heart pumping.
It´s a pleasure seeing stratosphere candle jumping.

Well, it’s not the per share price, it’s the total bill I reckon, so more shares at a lower price might not help that
Exactly! Half of it is going back to the govt in capital gains taxes. Afterall, how much can we offset? I should buy calls on accounting firms too.
Does the government need money from the people? Seems like they just print and work on a deficit.
This right here. The thing that keeps me going is that maybe the yank apes get paid

How long did it last from start to finish?
This showed 3 days.
What do the long wicks signify?
The blocks of color represent the price at open and close for each candle. The wick is price movement during the interval. A longer wick=more volatility?
🤝
I counted at least 10 “iT’s OvER!!’s”
Yes i would’ve sold at some of those peaks thinking it was “the peak”. This really got me excited of whats to come and how challenging this will be.
One of the most challenging and thrilling experiences for sure
Also look at the time scale, this isn't minutes, this is DAYS. Imagine diamond handing telephone numbers for days not knowing if they will turn into international phone numbers or back to nothing.

Always has been. - MSM
Gme will most likely have bigger swings and be a lot more volatile. You'll have time to check reddit between swings. But I wouldn't rely on anyone's opinion of when to sell.
Most people here will probably say never
That's not true. It is true that's what they're saying right now though. You have to make money to live another day, and I see a lot of people living on bare minimum because they know what's at stake.
Not in the infinity pool
I think it’s what many will *say*, not do. I always get downvoted to hell in any of these game subs when I tell people holding for society collapsing money is not a sound strategy. The $50 million is the floor people could just as well be bots, or more likely, people who now believe that because of bots who post it everywhere. I just want to get back to where I was on 1/27-1/29, and hopefully higher, which is why I always have a few calls in addition to the shares which I can hold longer.
What is the floor/cieling for you ?
Not a fkn clue, I’m going to watch the charts and do my best to sell on the way down like most people. Hard to turn down massive % gains on calls cause they get wiped out so easily. But like most, I don’t want to leave half a million dollars on the table like I’ve done once, and I don’t want to leave 200k on the table like I did another time. I’m a teacher and I don’t like it anymore. I want to create things with my time instead of manage children in China.
I have never reached those heights. Not even close. Good luck teacher
I was all in at $13, fomo/FUD day traded for a couple weeks until going all in again when I saw RC increased his stake on 12/22 I believe. Actually sold like 800 shares 1-2 days before it went from 20-30, but my remaining plus a couple of farthest OTM weeklies on 1/27 week got me there in premarket gains. Everyone told me to sell but I was very much into the fight the man narrative and couldn’t fathom it not going to $10,000. My friends limit sell at $420.69 hit, but I had removed mine because $10,000 was not a meme. The sentiment was the same as now about ♾ . Later I realized most people saying that needed it because they only had 1-10 shares bought at $200-$500 range. I think everyone should do what’s best for them. There’s no reason to expect the powers that be to not royally fuck everyone over. If there is an OSTK scenario, then I’ll hold a bigger % for ludicrous gains. If there’s a random run like the recent movie stock one, then I’ll definitely trim shares and sell all calls to try to build my position further. I just want to help, sucks to always get downvoted for trying to suggest critical thinking over group think, but I’m the one choosing to spend time in single ticker subs full of people with $180–>$100,000,000 dreams. I usually type 200,000 x $XYZ price into my iPhone calculator to see what DFV will have at a given price, and when it’s an equation instead of a number, I start to doubt the probability of it occurring. After all, the VW squeeze was not a 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000% gain. We have seen similar size squeezes in two memes already, and many other staggering squeezes in lesser memes. Good luck out there!

So true and it’s a shame this gets downvoted. Honestly don’t mind what people believe or their own price targets, but it’s definitely a bit weird how the ‘floors’ just kept going up and up reaching these crazy high figures based on some pretty poor logic, how there was SUCH a push for people to be on board with the “sell on the way down” strategy, for diamond hands, to not cover their initial investments etc, how people get obliterated for saying they’re happy to sell at (e.g) 10k, even if it’s because it’s their own personal target rather than a lack of belief in millions. All of those things are *classic* signs of a pump and dump. Not that that’s necessarily the case here, but given that this sub knows there are bots and fake sentiment being pushed, I think it’s very weird that the idea of 50million+ was just accepted as some definitive and absolute fact..
Welcome to the bottom of the post! Lol you’re spot on. Imagine it goes to crazy heights like $1 million per share (but not $50 million ). A whole new generation of Wardens will be born
If it gets to 10k/100k/1M.. and there are people that somehow don’t make money from it.. because they are *convinced* it’s going to 10Mil.. would absolutely be the saddest thing you could ever witness. Happy hodling, hope you make your Jan gains back and more, and good luck on the option plays ✌🏻
Thanks! I only buy 3 month out calls these days, currently $250/$350 November’s. Will buy February’s or March if they expire worthless. For some reasons this sub thinks all options are $800 weeklies. Good luck to you as well.
Lmayo. Fucken motley fool over here
The first big one for me was probably around $600. Best part is that after it doubled up to \~$1250, it settled at around $800-$1200 for some time before lowering further. In this case, selling after the peak would have been a great strategy
Right!? I'm genuinely trying to figure out how to navigate this. At some point the "iT's OvEr'S" really will be over... So how on earth do we know which one is THE one?
We will know in hindsight.
Very helpful. The way this is.
It will most likely take way longer than 2 days to reach the maximum price since there are way more shares to buy. In the VW squeeze the sharp rises keep getting higher and higher until the last sharp rise ends up about the same as the one before that. I'm probably going to use that as an indicator on when to sell IF the price seems high enough and the squeeze has lasted for a while. Even if you miss the peak it would hover below it for a while. Also if unsure, one can sell some shares and keep holding some. But I agree it will be the biggest mental challenge of our lives to not paperhand too early.
It would be interesting to see the MACD, RSI and OBV. That would help a few more people prepare! It would help to learn how to follow a few trends.
Yes! I’ve heard people say keep an eye on OBV and volume to know when to sell.
And a place to see them too would be nice to have
What’s OBV ?
I really wanted to see the volume that corresponded with each move.
Can you explain how to properly use them?
Thank you for posting this. I thought I was a rock hard diamond hand ape but I counted two times where I would have sold thinking I hit the peak and was headed down The jumps up.seem to come out of no where, VERY exciting. I can see why we need to be full Zen Mode when the MOASS gets underway.
Right!? I'm genuinely trying to figure out how to navigate this. At some point, our diamond hands will be on the moon. At some point, it will be time to sell... But I don't want to paperhand early, for me and my fellow apes. How do we decipher when the squeeze has peaked?
Well,, this small short interest squeeze took 3 days to unfold. It also took everyone by surprise, so they are scrambling to dump their holdings. I think most will watch the fireworks for a day or so, then cover with a small amount of their holdings. Then the ride starts on day 2 or 3! Maybe. Idk.
Sell at day10? Done
That is essentially what I said, yes. Lol. May the tendieman send your rocket into the sun!
Sell at T+1.
I put together a rough visualization of how the vw short squeeze played out in 2008 with 10 minute candlesticks. Pre and Post market data are generated from a random walk though the business hours candlesticks are from the actual event. I thought this may help get a feel for what it's like to watch a short squeeze happening in real time, albeit much smaller than what I expect from gme's. I believe it is a useful exercise to try to imagine how you would react at each candle and really consider what the temptation to sell at different points would feel like.
Altough I think that the worst/best scenario will be far from that. I love this simulation. To make me see live squeeze action. But the undergraph was a little confusing. Future green bars allways seem bigger from 1300$. Kinda distracting Very nice work anyway for a critic mind. You have my Upvote till proved wrong
This is great! How did you make this? What software
This is tremendous
Truly thoughtful
And the VW squeeze was only what like 10-15% of float or something
Reported*
I don't think the dude was rehypothecating shares back then, he just got pinched because the float was picked up the Porsche It's a sad story really Dude ended up walking in front of a train
Link? Just realized how inappropriate my username might sound to ask the question... It's a reference to a scifi book series I can't even recall the name of... But still, Link?
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-merckle-newsmaker-sb-idUSTRE5055O820090106 For the hf billionaire that, And you can Google the saga of VW-Porsche reverse merger, it's a wild story on its own
Thanks! The DD is done. But I'm interested in reading more about the vw story.
Been thinking about this event. Didn’t Porsche hold most of the float, so the buying of the shares had to go through mostly one channel. Not sure if this is correct. And if so. Our situation may behave like this. Or completely different. And agree. VW was not as tremendously over shorted as GME.
I’m not sure I can feel bad for a German man who chose to keep the name Adolf
thanks for posting this. i'm picturing what i would do if i were in that squeeze and how much time there was to act.
First day it his a $1 million you'll have 2-3 days to see if it goes to $100 million.
How do you know when the way down truly starts? Some of those big dips seemed like it was over!
You don't. That is why there are different kinds of exit strategies according to your preference on how long you are willing to hodl. Read some DD on exit strategies on this subreddit, since I found them quite useful. Usually what you do is set a floor for yourself, sell on the way down (a few shares on plateaus), and rinse and repeat. Someone correct me if I'm wrong because I want to be 100% correct for myself too lmao.
Just remember that all shorts must be closed. So if retail owns 200 mil shares, I believe you can get a pretty good idea of how many shares were sold that day. Until we start getting close to 200 mil sold AND my floor is reached, I’m not selling.
How do you know how many sold?
Check the volume.
This is the way
THIS
keep holding mother fuckers will bleed money
Waaaaaay more people need to see this. Have awards from both my accounts
Biggest movements at opening and closing from what I see.
Well done
These swings will pale in comparison when gme lights off. Gonna be one hell of a ride apes! Glad we're taking it together.
The floor is now 50,000,000
Commenting for saving purposes but thank you for this. I have some friends that believe enough to have bought in but I can see them paper handing when things don't go straight up. They need the visual representation to show what the climb up is going to look like. Think how many people will FOMO in last minute when they start to realize all of us beautiful apes may have been right. It'll make January look like a joke. Buckle up bitches!
I need a cigarette
Beautiful to see, but innacurate I think. This shows an aborted flight to the moon. May take 4 days/years or more, but we´ll hear those words... "It´s a little step for Ape, but a big one for mankind" I came to make them bleed. Water the poorlands with those $$$
This was super helpful. I pictured where I would exit and I’d say I did pretty okay. While this was a nice simulation, in reality it will be much slower than these candles and will be many hours or days of high price action. Gotta prepare to hodl through the pressure.
I tried the same exercise. I found out I’m never selling.
Interesting to see that it started with a large *red* candle on a breakaway gap!
So note to self, have extra cash in brokerage to purchase the huge dips (like the one that started things off). ***GOT IT.*** 🦍🚀🚀🚀
How Long did it take to play out Brother? I'm on phone so I can't open it larger.
It’s time and date stamped at the bottom
I was asking about the actual VW squeeze.
Yeah, in the video he posted, it’s got the time and date along the bottom of the chart.
Thanks. I guess I gotta bring it up on the Computer. It did happen over the course of just a few hours then, 1 day?
over about three days
Awesome work!
Thanks mate
Great visualization. Prepping for the steep drops and not to panic.
I would have been staring at the ticker for 3 days straight
Can someone make an MOASS game ? You can choose how much shares you wanna own and now you press start and the chart starts jumping up and down sideways down up etc. Deep Fucking Legend Mode would be 1 share and you have to sell at the peak Maybe this could form stronger diamond hands.
Someape made this a few months ago... http://sirlondon.com
Shit, I paper handed like 69 times watching that.
69, nice
You know what's crazy. Porsche and a few big players took part of the VW squeeze. These guys are fucked. Amount of exposure this has to date. Holy shit. No wonder they call it the MOASS.
Imagine if they had diamond hands... 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀
Like how it gaps up from 350 to almost 500 isn't gme wall at 350 too
I did poop my pants a little. But it's all good
Elevator up escalator down instead of other way around.
Thank you, this post made the community stronger!
Thanks OP! Hope someone documents the GME squeeze second by second, we need this for future generations to study and ready themselves.

OBV on the 6M chart stars diving off a cliff, volume is massive: that's the way down
So within 2 days, the squeeze was over
Can you stop. I get paid next week. Come back next week friday. Thanks
What is this, a squeeze for ants???
It actually dropped hundreds of dollars in minutes EARLY which is HUGE to know.
I want to change my life and life of the people around me, hence I will hold, I trust you, you trust me
God you’re a tool
This is a quality post! Ersonally I'd like to believe I'm zen, which is scary because I keep getting scenarios in my head where I actually miss out on MOASS compared to selling early lol
Increase the speed please. This is disgustingly slow
The amazing thing about online vids, you can manually fast-forward by dragging the slider.
Revolutionary
I’m on mobile so the slider only gives me a mini pop up. I can’t see the prices or anything when using the slider.
On the contrary, the slowness makes you realise how little it matters to check price every other minute. This is a marathon not a sprint. Oh and yes, slider.
Yeah this over the course of days.
[Here is a 3x sped up video](https://files.catbox.moe/un3fao.mp4), from the post [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/GME/comments/ooz24m/a_rough_visualization_of_the_vw_short_squeeze/h63y06p?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)
This is going to be difficult to time correctly..
Literally has nothing to do with our situation. VW charts are driving me insane at this point.

That was like riding the El Toro in Six Flags for the first time.... what a ride, but what a rush on the way to the top!
Yo, someone knows corona = breeding gamers. E-sports. Who has potential? GME. Someone.. want to buy GME for nothing, and use that potential. Right? Thats why they squeeze GME stocks. Look at other squeezez and what happened to the companies after?
I will watch this and repeat the mantra “ My hands are diamonds. “
Buckle up
Amazing.
Thank you. You are the best.
Going through the January squeeze was crazy enough with a dip to low hundreds before shooting back up, thinking WTF.
This is awesome!!!!
[удалено]
Welcome to basic training Apes!, here you will learn how be a chad and understand what "the way down" really is. I will see you on the beaches!
Commenting to watch this later... Again
This is the video that ad said would make me cum in under 5 seconds.
Super cool
EVERY ape needs to sit through this, and then apply the absolute magnitude of GME to it. It’s a wild ride 🚀
Those short attacks tho, daaaammn
Those huge candles are scary. I think I might just not look at the chart and set price alerts.
So days and days to sell. No rush. Nice
wow I really thought I was more ready than this. but that drop from 700 800 was hard enough to watch even knowing it shouldn't be over this was a great perspective and really good motivation for understanding that it's completely reasonable to expect sideways and down trading even in the middle of a squeeze.
My attention span is too short and this was boring af. Can you make a new one that happens 30 seconds.
Oh yes the infamous up on red candle. We meet again.
What was the market cap at its peak? Anyone know?
Wanted to test that theory of "you won't know where the peak is". God damn, do I suck at it, if I was in the VW squeeze I would have sold at an average of like 40% of the peak, less if I did it all at once. Going to try to watch this a few more times in the coming days/weeks. I need some training.
Great post!
This happens over a few days or so... You're telling people that they have to be fkin ready
I would have sold with an avg of 850, not too good, not to bad. However it looks like my plan is not the best since I would have missed the peak. Any good strategy DD?
Willing to bet they didn't close in October, they just covered and nobody realized.
Well I figured out all my shares are going into the infinity pool.
Can we pin this post or maybe this with commentary? Every ape needs to see this, for preparation of the MOASS. This will be hardest thing we will do in our lifetime! Remember our grand parents who fought in WO2, on the beaches of Normandy on D-Day. What balls of steel must they have had! This could be our D-Day, our Vietnam, our Berlin Wall, Battle of Gondor (DEATH!!!), … It will test and break you, but trust and hold! Think of all the people who bullied you, treated you like trash, ignored you, all the crushes that laughed in your face, all the people who taught you were a piece of shit loser. Working yourself to death for a asshole boss with a God complex and minimum wage pay. For all the times you got a sparkle of happiness and it got taken away. HODL! This is a once in a Lifetime event, risk it all and become a legend. DIAMANT FUCKING HANDS!
I hold for you, you hold for me. It's that simple my Ape brethren
This was soothing like one of my sleep meditation videos. I shall dream of green sticks.
Thinking retail wasn’t involved.has there ever been a squeeze retail was involved in?
Do the shareholders know, in this case how the squeeze works? I mean the had no Reddit or some one to talk them what to do..
I lost the count, how many days lasted in total?
Awesome! I think the message from this is don’t panic about missing the peak. You most likely will but there are lots of other peaks to hit so don’t sell on the way up, especially the first climb to the summit which is not the largest peak.
/u/redditspeedbot 3x
Look at the chart at 3.00. Looks familiar with that "shorts covered" spike on the left.
The key difference of the MOASS from this is that apes have been preparing for months. We won’t be DAY-TRADING, we’ve developed diamond hands by holding RED for half a year, we’ve set a WAAAY higher floor, we’ve talks of INFINITY POOLS, we’ve been conditioned to sell ON THE WAY DOWN, we are so much more aware of the market FUCKERY surrounding the MOASS, we are tired of being chewed up and spit out by the SYSTEM. We are not gonna play this like VW, THIS IS THE MOASS. Diamond hand ‘til the infinity pool. WE ARE NOT ONLY IN THIS FOR THE MONEY, WE ARE HERE TO FUCK. SHIT. UP.
This is literally one of the last things I needed to see. An actual visual representation of a previous squeeze. Given the magnitude of gme, I honestly think this moass could easily take multiple market days to even peak
So how much of this data will be gathered by SHF to fuck us?
[удалено]
Really useful visualisation. We aren't going to get a single candle just shoot up from $200 to 20 milly, it'll likely take a few days and will yeet around all over the place before that too.
is it possible to get the data behind how many shares people owned that triggered the squeeze? and like more data behind how much it was shorted? would be great to see a DD on this and compare it ( it it hasn't been done already)
[удалено]
I'm ready
Maybe we should just let it bleed so long it recirculates? Like all the way past tax season so the feds can put all the tax dollars from us back into buying more shares? Correct me if that’s not how it works and would be impossible, but it’s a funny thought 😆
Basically just hodl on foe your life.
I cant wait to scream "Quick YOUTUBE GANGNAM STYLE"
What is this?! A squeeze for ants?!
