GME Stock Price: Gamestop edges higher to start the week as Reddit interest rises again

NYSE:GME investors are likely relieved to see some green to start the week after the popular meme stock fell by over 12% last week. Shares of GameStop gained 1.15% on Monday and closed the first trading day of the week at $202.01. While the stock has had a bit of a pullback as of late, it is still trading above both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, which shows a generally bullish long-term uptrend. Despite its gains, GameStop still lagged the broader markets as the S&P 500 and NASDAQ rose by 1.32% and 1.88% respectively, while the Dow Jones managed to recover some of its losses from Friday by gaining 236 basis points during the session.
