GME Stock News: GameStop Corp gains during choppy session for meme stocks

  • NYSE:GME added 0.98% on Thursday as the broader markets rebounded back to green.
  • Meme stocks struggle to gain footing in the current short squeeze attempt, as AMC continues to fall.

NYSE:GME continues to defy logic and valuations and has somehow maintained its lofty triple-digit stock price. On Thursday, GameStop had another tumultuous session where the stock traded as low as $166.90 and as high as $174.91. Shares ended up in the green as GameStop added 0.98% to close the day at $170.49. The stock continues to trade above both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, despite its low daily trading volume.

The recent short squeeze attempt has revolved around cinema chain AMC (NYSE:AMC), which fell once again despite the broader markets rallying for the first time all week. Other meme stocks like Palantir (NYSE:PLTR) and Naked Brands (NASDAQ:NAKD) also finished in the red, and were definitely outliers compared to most other stocks that finished in the green.
