What Else?
GameStop's stock became a focal point of speculative trading in early 2021 due to a short squeeze driven by retail investors on platforms like Reddit's WallStreetBets. This speculative nature can cause extreme volatility, as price movements are heavily influenced by investor sentiment rather than fundamental business performance.
Recent moves lower in the broader market might lead to shifts in investor behavior, such as moving funds into or out of speculative stocks. If investors are nervous about economic conditions or market stability, they might be looking to reduce exposure to high-risk stocks like GameStop, leading to increased volatility.

How To Buy GME Stock
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share – or fractional share – of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument.
For example, in GameStop's case, it is in the Consumer Discretionary sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
According to data from Benzinga Pro, GME has a 52-week high of $64.83 and a 52-week low of $9.95.
