Ok so let me understand. You can sell you position no problem. So who's going to buy it, if buying is not allowed?

In this case, either the hedge funds clearing their short positions, or traders on literally almost every other platform out there (I opened a few positions on Ameritrade today for example).

Someone not on Robinhood can buy it.

Right, so... the shorts that need to clear their position before the price rises further.

Sounds like market manipulation to me.
