Curious divergence in bubble names from the rest of the market

While the broader indices are making new highs, it is very curious to see several bubble names break down out of their price box on no news (the charts are a bit behind closing prices).

BYNDBYND was within a very narrow range of $145/$135 for over a month. Today, it is -7.53% and $126, a significant move on no news. Breach of the lower parallel is important if it holds.

ZMZM is -6%, continuing its downtrend. Breach of the $350 price box would be important.

SHOPSHOP is -6% despite AMZN roaring up 3.5% out of its wedge.

CVNACVNA is -8%, breaking down out of its two month long uptrend and smashing through the lower parallel very decisively, again on no news.

DASHDASH is -6%, making new lows for the year, after its ridiculous IPO.

NIONIO is -3.8% and TSLA is 0.25%. Breach of the $38 price box would be significant.

TSLA

Bottom line: It is curious that while the indices and most stocks are up, many of the most euphoric bubble names are correcting hard today despite the absence of specific news, a tell and possible hint of future direction.

Meanwhile, a name I closed out at $70 soon after its IPO, is up 18.7% today and at over $16 (NKLA). With some actual product soon to be running in the hands of customers maybe it will stop falling. This massive move from $94 to $13.5 points to how useless trading based on ideas or a thesis actually is as you could have suffered an $80 drop while still remaining positive on the future of hydrogen transportation.

Timing is tricky, of course, but I cannot remember the last time we had such a divergence in performance between the general market and the bubble names.
