$GameStop (GME.US)$3/19 there are total 165k open call positions, short sellers need 16M shares to close by Friday only if gme goes above $800 level. There are around 100k open positions for call strike price below $500, 65k positions for call strike price above $500. I don’t own any GME shares, but I do expect a gamma squeeze this week, please check out the 3/19 open call volume by yourself, this is not a financial advice.

By the way, this can only happen if most share holders hold the stock until next week and also assume most of those open calls are not covered calls.

Assume no one will dump this stock and some big buyers push the price higher, short sellers will start buying shares to cover the sold call options which can push the stock price higher and higher, then more short sellers join to buy to cover their positions, stock price will keep increasing.

Let's be real, 3/19 is so highly regarded that the hedge fund will try anything to not make the squeeze happen on that day just demoralise everyone. Next week also has some very good catalysts so keep holding, expect the best, but prepare for the worst

Just don’t assume everyone will hold. Make your own decision and take profits at the right time. Remember, short sellers don’t need all trading stocks to cover their positions and stock price will fall sharply after their positions closed.

Tman : But what is there to make this stock rise to 800, assuming there wont be another massive dump like last week?
morganfreefarm : Apes together strong

麦菲大王 OP 70824013 : I don’t think there are enough open call positions after 3/19 for a gamma squeeze.
