The meme sector was also on the rise on Monday, after an eventful end to the previous week. Shares associated with Truth Social, the social media platform backed by former President Trump surged by over 1,500% at one point on Friday.

Other meme stocks were trading in the green, as GameStop (NYSE:GME), ContextLogic (NASDAQ:WISH), and Vinco Ventures (NASDAQ:BBIG) all closed the day higher.
AMC stock forecast
Just when you thought CEO Adam Aron had done it all, the retail-friendly executive announced last week that AMC could be getting involved with cryptocurrencies. While it is widely known that AMC has started to accept cryptocurrencies as payment for tickets, Aron meant that the company could be creating its own cryptocurrency token. Aron is no doubt still banking on AMC’s popularity amongst retail investors, many of whom are also actively involved in trading cryptocurrencies as well.
