NASDAQ:BBIG extended its declines from late last week as the meme stock was unable to reverse its recent downward trend. On Monday, shares of BBIG fell by a further 6.31% to close the bloody session at $7.28.

Previous updates

Update: NASDAQ: BBIG was unable to take advantage of the positive mood ruling Wall Street and fell for a third consecutive day. The share settled at $6.57, after shedding 2.95%. US indexes closed in the green, with the Nasdaq Composite up 150 points or 1.02%. Stocks trimmed part of their early gains after the US Federal Reserve announced its latest decision on monetary policy. As widely anticipated, the central bank left its current policy unchanged, but hints on tapering were clearer. Even further, the dot plot showed higher chances for a 2022 rate hike.

The ongoing downtrend has reversed this month’s gains, as BBIG moves further away from the monthly tops of $12.49.
