Is GameStop’s meme rally over, or the stock carries some juice to be squeezed?

by

If you love GameStop Corp (NYSE:GME), you already know how hard it is to catch lasting momentums. However, it is one of those stocks that tend to return massively after a simple call on Reddit. That is what has been happening to GameStop lately.

The last week has been characterized with interest in meme stocks led by Bed Bath & Beyond. Retail investors grew curious that GameStop Chairman Ryan Cohen held onto his BBBY stake. That was revealed in a Tuesday filing, igniting interest in sister meme stocks GME and AMC. Both stocks were already gaining as risk-on sentiment gripped retail investors. A day later, Cohen was back with the intention to sell the entire stake. That forced a crash that wiped out the previous day’s gains.

With no important fundamentals, GME investors pushed the stock above $47. It now trades at $34, with more than 7% losses in the past 24 hours. As the BBBY-inspired rally subsides, GME could follow suit.
