- AMC leads meme stocks lower after it discloses a potential stock sale.
- Bed Bath & Beyond has not provided many updates following its new strategic plan.
Update: One of the most-mentioned stocks in the Reddit subforum Wallstreetbets, NASDAQs BBBY, continued to stabilize at last week's lows. The stock has morphed into a potentially bullish formation on the hourly charts as the price meets support near the close of around $6.38c. The pattern is a harmonic W-formation and following the reversion to the neckline, the price could be attractive to the bulls for Wednesday's open. However, the bulls will need to get above $6.84 as being the September 7th lows. If the bulls do commit to the correction, a 50% retracement comes in near $7.30. On the other hand, $5.80 is beckoning the bears on the daily chart as the next structure in line for a retest as support.

The share closed 0.16% higher at $6.38, as the Nasdaq Composite seesawed around its opening throughout the session, ending it marginally higher, as the index added 0.25%.

Finally, the S&P500 shed 7 points to close the day at 3,647.
US Federal Reserve officials expressed concerns about the aggressive pace of monetary tightening but fears about a worldwide recession maintain the pressure on high-yielding assets.

BBBY stock price
News out of another meme company had retail traders heading for the hills as AMC Entertainment (AMC) disclosed a potential stock sale. The move in question would be to issue up to 425 million shares of its APE preferred units, with the ability to sell even more in the future. It was widely known that the APE shares would likely be used to raise further capital for the company to reduce its debts, but the reality seems to be setting in. Shares of AMC and APE were down by 14.5% and 5.9%, respectively, on Monday.
Since the company announced its plans for a strategic turnaround a few weeks ago, little else has been mentioned by management. The strategy will see up to 150 stores closed around the United States, with the unloading of its workforce as well. It is widely believed that this might not be enough to reverse the company’s fortunes, and a lack of follow-up from the company should be concerning to shareholders.
