Getting a greater sense of confidence that AMC is indeed manipulated after AMC price nosedives with better earnings

With the most basic market knowledge, we know beating earnings and improving fiscals are really good signs, however even with all this info, the price suddenly tanks in AH? It really solidifies the argument that stock is moving against market logic (and not real) and and we should just buy and hold because the price is just unnaturally suppressed. It really solidifies my conviction that the price is just manipulated and so, with natural price discovery or a squeeze (hedgies cant manipulate forever!), the price will go up.
