NASDAQ: SNDL could not hold its recent support level as it gave into the broader market sell off that hit in the abbreviated session after the Thanksgiving holiday. Shares of SNDL fell by 3.18% and closed the trading week at $0.65. Despite some indications of growth following a stronger than expected quarter, Sundial still fell by nearly 14% this week, and is now flat for the month. Sundial’s dip on Friday came as no surprise as the sudden breakout of the Omicron Variant of the coronavirus sent the markets reeling. The Dow Jones tumbled by over 900 basis points, while the NASDAQ and the S&P 500 fell by 2.23% and 2.27% respectively. At the session lows the Dow was down over 1,000 basis points, making it the single largest drop by the blue-chip index in 2021.

Cannabis remains a volatile industry, although given that cannabis stocks are currently beaten down, it may offer a nice buying opportunity moving forward.

Other meme stocks falling on Friday included Sundial Growers, ContextLogic (NASDAQ:WISH), and Vinco Ventures (NASDAQ:BBIG).
