AMC Short Squeeze – AMC Entertainment 2022 – AMC Stock Price – AH9 Stock – AMC Stock Squeeze
Will AMC squeeze in 2022?
The Fool thinks you should sell your stock, but retail investors aren’t budging.
Mainstream media who serve hedge funds in a conflict of interest have been egging retail investors to not buy the stock all of 2021.
If you listened to The Fool who told you not to buy AMC when its share price was low, then you would have missed out on a trade that went as high as 3000% in gains!
While the runup to $72 per share might have caused AMC’s short interest to drop to 14% from 20%, AMC’s short interest has now gone up to nearly 21%.
Ladies and gentlemen, AMC stock has plenty of room for growth in 2022.
Welcome to Franknez.com – the blog that provides retail investors with market news with integrity. Today we’re discussing AMC’s short interest data to determine whether it will squeeze in 2022.
Let’s dive right into it!
If you haven’t subscribed to the newsletter, be sure to do so that way you don’t miss out on new information.
Mainstream media wants retail to lose
It’s no secret the financial platforms who have been attacking AMC stock are tied together.
The short interest tells us the percentage of a stocks float that is being shorted (shares have been borrowed and not yet closed).
Because AMC is heavily shorted at 21%, this is a short squeeze play in 2022.
A 21% short interest is equivalent to approximately 159.32 million shares on loan (shares that have been borrowed and have not yet been closed).
When AMC’s short interest dropped from 20% to 14% (6 points), the share price rose to $72 per share.
New short positions have brought AMC’s short interest up to nearly 20% again meaning there are many shorts that have yet to be squeezed from their positions.
Will AMC stock squeeze in 2022? Game over short sellers | AMC Stock 2022 – AMC Stock Price
AMC has a high enough short interest to squeeze shorts from their positions in 2022.
Sitting at 20% short interest, it’s more than enough to get the price up well into the high hundreds of dollars per share.
Whether regulators will investigate naked shares, FTDs, and other forms of counterfeit shares for hedge funds to cover is another topic.
AMC will need momentum if it’s to see another massive runup in share price.
Furthermore, hedge funds will lead their customers into losses for the second year in a row if retail investors continue to buy and hold the stock in 2022.
AMC Entertainment stock has plenty of room for growth and mainstream media doesn’t want you to know it.

Who is AMC stock for?
AMC stock is for the retail investors who are willing to take a little risk to multiply their investment through a short squeeze play.
A short squeeze play is a long commitment with incredible upside.
If you’re lucky enough to get involved in the ape community you’ll find yourself fighting for a fair and transparent market, where your voice means everything.
Reasons why AMC wont squeeze in 2022..
I’ve always been transparent with the community.
There are many of you who got in when I first began publishing the data early last year and are sitting on unrealized gains today.
And although AMC could have squeezed during various occasions last year, there are still things that can hinder AMC from squeezing this year.
Here’s a list of things that will refrain AMC from squeezing shorts from their positions:
Retail investors start selling AMC stock
Retail investors stop buying AMC stock
New buyers aren’t introduced to the stock or short interest data
The AMC community has not had a problem holding or buying the stock.
One of the biggest problems the community faces today is regulators not protecting retail investors against the predatorial strategies from hedge funds.
The community has always been a beacon for change.
Apes will need to voice market concerns to elevate awareness.
Market regulation in 2022
AMC stock had multiple chances to squeeze in 2021, however, hedge funds always found a loophole that would prevent them from reporting information, or trading stock in the lit exchange.
Market manipulation continues to be a threat to every retail investor in the market.
AMC Entertainment was on the brink of extinction, it was about to go bankrupt.
Hedge funds took this opportunity to overleverage their short positions in the stock, betting it would close forever.
Once retail investors got in and saved the company, the community uncovered a number of market manipulation tactics that allowed hedge funds to prevent the stock’s share price from soaring.
The fight for a fair market continues in 2022.
For the ape community, this is more than just a short squeeze play.

AMC’ shares on loan reach 157.87 million
AMC shares on loan – AMC short interest
The shares on loan of a stock are the number of shares that have been borrowed and have yet to be returned.
We see this data when looking the short interest data of a ticker symbol to determine how much of the float is being shorted.
So, what does this mean?
AMC’s shares on loan essentially looks like debt to short sellers because they eventually have to return these shares back to the lender.
These shares amount to approximately 21.88% short interest (updated daily on the blog).
This is a very high short interest percentage – something mainstream media will not talk to investors about.
AMC’s short high short interest is what allowed it to reach $20 per share in January and $72 per share in June of last year.
Hedge funds lost billions, which is why mainstream media has focused on scaring retail investors out of their money by pumping out ‘DO NOT BUY AMC’ content.
Nothing has changed this year except AMC’s shares on loan and short interest keeps climbing.
AMC’s short interest was only at 20% when it surged to $72 – it’s now close to 22%.
So, short sellers are in a tough position, especially those with overleveraged positions.
This bear market could provide short sellers with an incentive to close large short positions before the market begins to reverse.
The SPY (S&P 500) has touched $400 per share several times in the last 5-day trading period.
While it has traded below $400, it’s important to note the markets have to bottom out at some point.
The question is, is this the bottom?
And if it is, will short sellers take this opportunity to close out positions in AMC and GameStop?
Executive order 14032 is right around the corner
If you haven’t heard of executive order 14032 yet, you’re missing some incredible information here.
This order was previously responsible for prohibiting institutions from using Chinese securities as collateral on January 27th, and May 27th of 2021.
These are the dates before AMC began to run up to $20 per share in late January, and when it began to run up to $72 per share at the end of May, early June.
Institutions were given their collateral back for 365 days on June 2nd, 2021.
Since then, AMC and the entire markets have gone down.
This grace period will be over on June 2nd of 2022, where institutions will no longer be able to use these Chinese securities as collateral, resulting in margin calls.
The difference this time, however, is that the number of Chinese securities affected has increased from 30 companies to 70+ companies.
Margin calls could be significantly larger than the previous two times based on portfolio holdings.
Incredibly, both AMC and GameStop short sellers are more in debt now than they were in January and June of last year.
The amount of FTDs and shares on loan have snowballed to new heights for over a year now.
Does this increase the probability of AMC squeezing in June?
Is AMC Squeezing in June? Is AMC squeezing next month?
Given the current market circumstances and executive order 14032 going into effect soon, June could prove to be a highly important time for AMC shareholders.
Is an AMC short squeeze guaranteed in June?
No, nothing is every truly guaranteed in the markets.
But is the probability high?
Absolutely.
I’ve mentioned this in previous articles and videos before, AMC is a short squeeze play whether this catalyst triggers a short squeeze or not.
AMC’s short interest data pointed towards a runup in January and May/June of last year – and the data says it’s not done running.
Coincidentally, Chinese collateral was removed during these two runups, and now it’s happening again.
And while today’s share price might discourage investors, I find it’s more intriguing to look at the data rather than at the share price.
It’ll change your perspective.
What do you think?
Is AMC going to squeeze soon?

BREAKING: Ray Dalio’s Bridgewater buys AMC stock for the first time; sells Tesla
Another institution has bought AMC stock and sold another high-profile stock.
Ray Dalio’s Bridgewater fund just bought AMC and GameStop and sold Tesla shares.
I was watching the multi-billionaire talk about the economy just yesterday with Tom Bilyeu.
Bridgewater wasn’t the only institution that increased their stake in AMC stock this first quarter.
The largest pension fund in America (CALPERS) purchased an additional 155,992 shares by the end of Q1 this year, totaling the number of AMC shares owned to 775,392 shares.
It seems institutions are bulking up on AMC shares right before executive order 14032 goes into effect.
Things are getting very interesting.
Let’s discuss it.

Bridgewater buys AMC stock for the first time
Ray Dalio’s Bridgewater buys AMC stock for the first time
Bridgewater disclosed an AMC stake for the first time in its latest portfolio update.
Dalio and his team bought about 27,100 shares of the cinema chain, which were worth $667,000 at the end of March.
The fund disclosed around 4,100 GameStop shares worth $689,000 as of March 31.
The last time it listed GME stock in its portfolio was more than three years ago, at the end of 2018, according to Market Insiders.
Bridgewater owned about 25,500 Tesla shares worth $27 million at the end of December, and held the stock in all four quarters of 2021 but cashed out its Tesla stock the first quarter this year.
Ray Dalio is an incredibly smart person.
Why an institution like Bridgewater is bulking up on AMC and GameStop shares has to mean something.
The ‘ape’ community predicted the big price runups that happened in AMC last January and May/June and are expecting a bigger runup this year.
Are financial institutions catching up?
Executive order 14302 goes into effect soon
Executive order 14302 is going to prohibit financial institutions from using Chinese securities as collateral on June 2nd, 2022.
The last time Chinese collateral was prohibited on January 27th, and May 27th of 2021, AMC stock surged.
Is this why institutions such as CALPERS and Bridgewater are buying AMC stock?
And while CALPERS did not buy GME stock this first quarter, it did buy 70,600 shares of GameStop during the last quarter of 2021.
I wonder what Wall Street analysts have to say about this.
After all, they made it their life’s mission to derail investors from buying these ‘meme stocks’.
Something tells me ‘dumb money’ might not have been so dumb after all.
But I’m curious to know what you think.
Are institutions on board with the data that says AMC and GameStop have massive potential for a short squeeze?

AMC has been trending downwards since its rise up to $72 per share and now retail investors are wondering, will AMC stock go up?
In a recent article I break down 3 BIG factors that have influenced AMC’s downward trajectory in the past few months.
Although AMC’s share price has been plummeting, the demand for the stock has not.
This key point is going to play a big role in what happens to AMC stock after this bear market is over.
Welcome to Franknez.com – today I want to lay a few key points you should take into consideration if you’re holding AMC stock or thinking of buying it.
Let’s get started!
AMC stock had an incredible year in 2021.
The stock reached an all-time high of $72 per share with only 21% short interest at the time.
Once the share price began to come down, AMC’s short interest had come down to 14%.
As we start the new year, AMC’s average daily volume is incredibly high.
AMC has an average volume of almost 43 million with many days surpassing this amount.
It’s more than 15 times that of GameStop’s current volume.
So why isn’t AMC’s massive demand reflecting in the share price?
That’s the question the ‘ape community’ has been asking regulators all year 2021.
Too many eyes are on regulators right now and at some point, some suppression inflicted by hedge funds will have to subside.
And aside from Omicron and Covid news affecting the entire market, AMC’s massive volume will eventually push the stock price up during a correction.
What does this mean for retail investors?
If you’re looking to get in on AMC for a short squeeze, know the risks, but understand that once this stock takes off you will not be able to buy it at these prices again.
Deflating the short interest
Deflating AMC’s short interest like we saw back in January and June means AMC stock will go up significantly higher from its current share price.
Small short covering allowed AMC to reach $72 per share back in June of 2021.
So why can AMC stock still skyrocket?
Despite the heavy buying volume from retail, AMC still has more than enough short interest percentage to squeeze shorts from their positions.
2022 is only the sequel to 2021’s runup.
The reason mainstream media doesn’t want you to know this is because of their ties to hedge funds and private financial institutions.
These institutions are ‘short’ on AMC and GameStop, meaning they’re betting against them.
Pushing propaganda that will feed their narrative is the safest way for hedge funds to derail retail from further buying the stock that could cause them to default.
Hedge funds such as Melvin Capital, Anchorage Capital, Mudrick, & Archegos are out of the game.
This is why mainstream media will not touch topic on the short interest data that could squeeze shorts from their positions.
AMC Entertainment fundamentals
A short squeeze play has nothing to do with AMC Entertainment’s fundamentals.
The reason being is that retail goes based off of how much shorting there is in the company stock.
Buying the stock en masse (big volume) will cause AMC stock to go up, forcing shorts to close their positions and buy back their shares; triggering a short squeeze.
A short squeeze play does not depend on the performance of the company as a business.
AMC’s fundamentals are not the greatest, the company does have a lot of debt.
However, something mainstream media is not discussing is just how much their debt has gone down each quarter since 2021.
AMC Entertainment’s fundamentals are a discussion I will be touching topic on another blog post very soon so be sure to join the newsletter.
Tesla has now followed by accepting cryptocurrency as a form of payment on their merchandise too.
Debt is the only thing holding AMC Entertainment from being a fundamental buy in the eyes of most in the industry.
AMC Entertainment partnerships
AMC partnered with Chance the Rapper last year for his concert movie release.
CEO Adam Aron announced that they would be working on partnering up with industry leaders for licensing agreements that would allow AMC to provide more of these experiences to their audiences around the world.
Another successful showing was the UFC fight they held in theatres.
The CEO also expressed his optimism surrounding showing highly anticipated sports events in theatres, granted licensing of course.
Retail investors have been specifically waiting for an AMC-GameStop partnership.
A topic Adam Aron teased could be in the works at some point.
AMC theatres released “GameStop: Rise of the Players” on January 28th, earlier this year.
One thing you cannot deny is the community strength and company relationship to its shareholders.
It’s never been seen before.
Do you own AMC stock?
Leave a comment below.
So, will AMC stock go up again?
Based on trader sentiment, community sentiment, and continuous innovation from the company, AMC stock will surge again.
This bear market won’t last forever.
And although the entire market is rather shaky at the moment, there will be a correction.
Hedge funds might have leverage to short the stock, but the people aren’t leaving.
AMC Entertainment will have to focus on growth and revenue if they are to get out of debt in the future.
Is AMC a good stock to buy? Is it too late to buy AMC Entertainment stock?
If you’ve been following the stock market news you’ve probably heard of all the hype surrounding AMC stock and GME (GameStop).
It wasn’t long before traders flocked over to AMC after the massive gains GameStop yielded due to the high percentage of shorting within the stocks.
Shorting a stock is the process by which sellers essentially bet on the stock price to drop.
They borrow stocks at higher cost, sell it, and buy back the stock low, profiting the difference.
Well, investors over at r/wallstreetbets found that by purchasing stocks at low price in heavy volumes it would drive a short squeeze.
A short squeeze occurs when a stock jumps sharply higher, forcing short sellers to buy higher, causing them to lose money.
Lots of it.
Welcome to Franknez.com – the blog where you can digest content on personal finance, stock, crypto, and other trending investing news.
Lets get started!
Will we see a squeeze with AMC?
There are numerous news that lead traders and investors alike to predict an upcoming short squeeze like we saw with GME (Gamestop).
CEO of AMC announces AMC is no longer going bankrupt (via. Los Angeles Times)
Vanguard, Wells Fargo, BMO Harris, BlackRock, Fidelity and many more institutions are buying AMC stock while it’s low (via. CNN Business)
AMC is currently the most shorted stock (via. MarketWatch) Unfortunately MarketWatch has hidden AMC from their list. Retail investors suspect foul play.
AMC is also currently one of the most held stocks surpassing Apple (AAPL) and Tesla (TSLA) (via. Nasdaq)
More publicity and awareness has average people investing in AMC which is driving volume for a potential squeeze
We’re seeing huge institutions are investing in AMC stock while it’s affordable.
And because it’s affordable, we’re also seeing average people invest in this stock.
As long as the stock is being held, though lows and through highs, a squeeze like we saw with GME (GameStop) is certainly possible.
AMC stock closed at $11.71 on May 16th. The stock has been on discount.
However, the community sentiment remains bullish meaning retail investors keep buying and holding the stock to squeeze shorts from their positions.
Shorts continue to short ladder the stock causing the downtrend we’ve been seeing.
But AMC wants to keep climbing.
As long as AMC shareholders continue to hold and buy the dip, short investors are at a disadvantage.
Great news for AMC Entertainment (Archive Data)
Other news that can further drive the share price of AMC stock is the announcement that most AMC theaters have now begun to open up.
AMC’s short borrow fee as of 5/16 is 1.80%, via. Fintel.
The fee is going up after being down for many months.
What is a short borrow fee?
The short borrow fee is the interest shorts pay for borrowing shares of AMC stock.
This means shorts are losing money every day by not closing their positions.
A surging short borrow fee rate could incentivize shorts to close their positions due to higher borrowing costs.
Why the short borrow fee rate matters
It costs shorts interest to hold while it costs the retail investor absolutely nothing to hold.
Shorts are losing money every day they hold because of this interest fee for borrowing the stock.
For some reason shorts still think AMC Entertainment can go bankrupt, although they have enough money to continue doing business.. I know, I don’t understand this either.
As hedge funds like Citadel lose money, the short borrow fee only increases those losses.
AMC’s share price might be on discount right now, but hedge funds are experiencing losses on top of losses.
They’ll eventually have to close their short positions, will you miss it?
Vanguard has proven to be useful, and it has never failed me before.
Important Advisory
It is important to note that I am not a licensed financial advisor.
Like many traders and self-taught investors, all speculation is based on educated estimations based on highly reliable analysis, patterns, and documented news charts.
On another note: It would be wise to not invest more than you can afford to lose. In other words, invest money you would be okay with losing for simpler terms.
Ignore the bogus headlines from The Motley Fool and other sources
AMC and r/wallstreetbets have been given lots of negative press from the likes of The Motley Fool and other sources; shaming the purchase of the stock.
Fortunately, we’ve been backed up by Mark Cuban, Chance the Rapper, and other big names.
Influential outlets with powerful hedge fund partners (institutions who short the stock) have been attacking traders and investors by providing false information wherever they can.
What we’re seeing right now is that the big guys are losing money due to the price of shorted stocks going up.
They will say and do whatever they can to divert the public from trading this stock.
My personal suggestion to you is to not let these sources intimidate you.
Do your research to see how the stock price has been manipulated through bogus headlines and short-ladder attacks.
If you haven’t read about executive order 14032 yet, you have to take time to read about it soon.
This order is going to affect the markets in an incredible way.
We recently saw small uptick in AMC after hours when it released positive earnings for Q1 of 2022, but it wasn’t able to maintain it due to the pull of the market.
AMC finished green on Friday, up 5.45%.
What is next week looking like?
SPY stock has hit $400 per share quite a few times, which leads me to believe it’s possible this area could be a strong level of support.
For an entire week straight, this level played a very important role, so we’ll have to keep an eye out on where things go from here.
A lot of the market follows the trajectory of the SPY (S&P 500), so we could very well see AMC consolidate for a while, mirroring the rest of the market.
If the SPY begins to make a break and move upwards, we could very well see AMC start a similar pattern, and vice versa.
But regardless of what happens, early June seems like it will be a very important time for AMC due to executive order 14032.
I’m curious to learn what you think.

Just when we thought GameStop’s short squeeze was over we begin to see GME gain some momentum.
GameStop has been the heart of the wallstreetbets movement and continues to have a strong sentimental hold on retail investors and gamers alike.
The retail investors who missed GameStop’s first squeeze either bought AMC shares or bought GME while it was still high.
And if you got in when it fell back down to $40, well you’re doing pretty well right now.
So, will GameStop see a massive short squeeze again?
Here’s what we know.
Welcome to Franknez.com – the blog where you can digest content on stocks, crypto, entrepreneurship, and trending investing topics.
Lets get started!
GME stock
GameStop closed at $98.39 on Friday May 13th.
Trading volume is currently sitting at 5.9 million with 4.2 million now being GameStop’s average volume.
Understanding the short-seller
GameStop has taken the entire internet and finance world by a storm. What is happening nowadays.
Retail investors over at r/wallstreetbets have opened Pandora’s Box on short-sellers and hedge fund institutions.
Short-sellers are investors who short the stock.
Shorting a stock is the process by which sellers essentially bet on the stock price to drop.
They borrow stocks at a higher cost and sell the stock low, profiting the difference.
How short selling works
We’ve seen GameStop drop down and consolidate at $40 after its gamma squeeze peaked close to $500 per share back in January.
As of May 13th, it is trading at $98.39.
The stock has made a massive climb after some serious consolidation. It looks like GameStop is prepping itself for another gamma squeeze.
Could we finally see that GME squeeze everyone’s been waiting for?! I think its time.
See, GameStop’s short interest is still rather high and not all short sellers closed their positions back in January.
This means the stock still has loads of room to go bonkers.
What is a short-ladder attack?
A short-ladder attack is a strategy performed by short-sellers where they bid on the stock at a significantly lower sell price and purchase it from one another.
Thus, driving the share price lower.
How do you spot a short-ladder attack?
When the stock knows nothing but gains, but something keeps pushing it down until over and over again, that’s when you’ll know.
Why GameStop has potential for a second short squeeze
Short-sellers didn’t learn their lesson from the first time. GameStop stock is still being heavily shorted.
With GameStop becoming a technology company, its value has not only significantly gone up but it now has even more potential to keep driving its momentum.
Retail investors have a strong conviction towards GameStop investment. This means they’re not willing to sell the stock which in turn creates a supply and demand scenario with short-sellers who have to close their positions.
GameStop NFT Marketplace News
Short Share Availability and Short Borrow Fee Rate
You can see GameStop’s short share availability and short borrow fee rate using this link (via. Short interest data)
This number of course changes every day and can be expected to rise as hedge funds continue to short GameStop stock.
However, the short borrow fee rate isn’t a catalyst for GME to squeeze.
I’m excited for my subcommunity that holds both GME and AMC stock because both are about to skyrocket past Pluto.
GME Stock Analysis
Roensch Capital goes over the data for trending stocks.
The information is very easy to understand and gives you insight in the market from an analysts perspective.
Be sure to check out recent videos as they’re being uploaded to stay updated with any changes that occur in the market with GameStop.
Important Advisory
It is important to note that I am not a licensed financial advisor.
Like many traders and self taught investors, all speculation is based on educated estimations based on highly reliable analysis, patterns, and documented news charts.
Volume is key to a second GameStop short squeeze
Just like AMC, GameStop will need to see a continuous runup in share volume.
When retail investors continue to buy and hold GameStop stock, short-sellers shorting the stock eventually have to buy back the stock.
This demand and supply scenario results in various gamma squeezes.
The gains we’ve seen with GameStop have been a series of gamma squeezes, or incremental gains.
Usually what follows after gamma squeezes is a short squeeze if it has enough volume.
The volume of shares depends on how much retail investors are purchasing GameStop stock or selling it.
This chart is only reference and is not GameStop’s current price – GameStop Squeezable
How Soon Will A Second GameStop Short Squeeze Happen?
There is so much volatility occurring in the stock market at the moment.
Such volatility is usually a sign of an upcoming short squeeze as we saw back in January.
Not only are retail investors experiencing a lot of volatility, but GameStop stock seems to be in bullish territory which is great for volume.
FOMO (fear of missing out) continues to bring in new retail investors which is a great driving factor to the stocks volume.
GameStop announces fourth quarter earnings for 2020 (ARCHIVE)
is GameStop squeezable? – GameStop Short Squeeze
GameStop announced that it will be releasing its fourth quarter and fiscal earnings for 2020 on Tuesday, March 23rd after trading hours.
This announcement is very important because owners of the company will go over earnings, as well as future assessment that let retail investors know the direction of the company as a whole.
This of course can have a very good impact on the stock price should the reports come back positive.
Here is the link to GameStop’s news release –> LINK.
Saving GameStop
Retail investors now have the power to save any company they wish to save.
Now it’s only a matter of time for GameStop to step up and raise capital so that they can innovate and provide more value back.
GameStop is currently looking for ways to operate more efficiently.
While the Reddit community was able to keep them from going bankrupt, the company as a whole will need to continue kicking butt.
Here’s what’s been going on with GameStop recently.
Current GameStop news
is GameStop still squeezable? – GameStop Short Squeeze
GameStop introduces Matt Furlong as the new CEO of the company.
GME shares are still up nearly 1100% this year-to-date with the company’s valuation at $15 billion.
Bullish GameStop options are still currently being heavily traded
Prior to GameStop, Matt Furlong worked at Amazon in Australia overseeing the growth of operations.
He also worked in brand and marketing for Procter & Gamble years before.
The skills to grow operations and to properly brand and market will benefit GameStop immensely.
What can retail investors do to tackle shorting?
If retail investors want to counter GameStop’s stock price from plummeting, they’ll have to continue to hold and buy the stock.
This short squeeze play will require patience.
Important advisory
If you hold a position in GameStop, it’s important that you ask yourself what your reason for holding is.
Does your DD provide you with the confidence to stick to it longer if need be?
If so, stick to your convictions and trust the process.
Unfortunately, I didn’t get in on GameStop before it gamma squeezed so I took a position in AMC instead.
Taking this position has been one of the best financial decisions I’ve ever made.
I would take a position in GameStop if it was more affordable.
Regardless, I like the stock and I love the community even more.
Will GameStop finally short squeeze?
I think GameStop is preparing itself to put short sellers out of their misery.
The stock has been havoc to hedge funds and we can tell they’re giving out primarily due to this massive breakthrough we’re seeing now.
And although I personally don’t hold GME stock, I have a lot of awesome memories at GameStop which I would actually like to share with you at the end of this article.
Now let’s talk about a little justice.
A major hedge fund that was attacking GameStop has now been reported to lose a significant amount of money.
As long as the stock continues to be shorted and held, GameStop can expect a series of gamma squeezes to continue pushing the stock up.
This will inevitably lead to the ultimate short squeeze.
Fundamentals can also drive GameStop’s stock price up.
The company will have to run efficiently by being able to meet projected goals.
Although this is not a fundamental play, mainstream media still has some influence over this.
Short sellers continue to face devastating losses from shorting GameStop.
Hedge funds are about to burn their second hand after playing with fire again.
FAQs
Gamma squeeze vs Short squeeze
A gamma squeeze are momentum gains. These usually occur from call options closing in the pocket resulting in heavy buys or purchases in the market.
A short squeeze is vigorous and can spike with no warning. This is where you see 100% gains in a matter of seconds and minutes. A short squeeze can even reach 1000% and 10,000% gains.
Retail investors didn’t leave then, and they’re not leaving now.
AMC’s current trading volume is more than double its average of 48.1 million.
GameStop’s is also more than double its average of 4.1 million.
We saw high buying pressure early in the market as the two ‘meme stocks’ took the lead and left corporate media pinched.
No matter how much mainstream media lies and says these two plays are dead, the truth is still the truth.
Both AMC and GME have incredible short squeeze potential, and the only thing keeping them from skyrocketing is open short positions.
Volume, however, could create big panic and set off a chain reaction enabling shorts to close their positions.

Just how AMC and GME’s high volume proves there is still a massive demand for the two stocks, the short interest proves these are short squeeze plays.
Both AMC and GME have very high short interest.
AMC short interest:21.44% | GME short interest:21.52%
Both these stocks have a record high number of shares on loan that have to get bought back and returned at some point.
Short sellers have their foot on a bouncy betty.
These stocks will squeeze whether shorts get out at their current share prices, lower, or even higher.
Because AMC and GME’s shares on loan are at an all-time high, this also means that when they do skyrocket, share prices will surpass their last record highs.
This is why people around the globe are buying these stocks.
The upside potential is too large to pass on.
When will these two stocks squeeze?
No one can say for sure.
But this bear market could prove to be a great time for shorts to close their positions, at least while stocks are at temporary low.
