GameStop Shares Spike In Volume, Turn Positive

The rise of GameStop Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>) was one of the biggest storylines of 2021 with investors<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/23/01/30412695/gamestop-short-squeeze-anniversary-a-look-back-at-david-vs-goliath-battle-and-whats-next"> profiting from a short squeeze.</a> 
Investors could have also profited from following an investment in the company by Chewy founder Ryan Cohen.
What Happened: Cohen, who disclosed his purchase of a 9% stake in GameStop in August 2020, was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/management/24/05/38853075/ryan-cohens-wealth-soars-on-gamestop-stock-rally-how-much-is-video-game-retailer-ceo-worth">elected chairman of the board</a> in June 2021 and became the company&#8217;s CEO on Sept. 28, 2023.
In late 2020, Cohen increased his stake in GameStop to 13%. In total, he paid an average of $8.40 for his shares in 2020.
Based on a share price of $7.30 on Sept. 1, 2020, the day after Cohen's purchase was <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1326380/000119380520001571/0001193805-20-001571-index.htm">unveiled</a>, investors would have been able to buy 137 shares of GameStop with a $1,000 investment.
A 4-for-1 stock split by the video game retailer in July 2022 would have increased the stake to 548 GME shares.
Based on a price of $22.29 per share at the time of writing, the $1,000 investment would be worth $12,214.92 today. This represents a return of 1,121.5% over the last four years.
For comparison, the same $1,000 invested in the SPDR S&amp;P 500 Global ETF on Sept. 1, 2020, would be worth $1,628.48 today, for a return of +62.8%.

</ul>
Why It's Important: Cohen was one of the central characters in the GameStop storyline that played out in 2021 with retail investors taking on hedge funds in a short squeeze of epic proportions.
Investors bet on GameStop because they were confident in Cohen&#8217;s ability to address bankruptcy fears, a short squeeze, and the attention Keith Gill, aka Roaring Kitty, brought to the stock.
With news that short interest in GameStop was more than 100%, investors saw an opportunity to squeeze out the shorts and shares rose substantially,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/21/01/19312927/gamestop-short-seller-melvin-gets-2-75b-funding-from-citadel-point72" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">causing millions of dollars in losses</a>&nbsp;for those betting against the stock.
GameStop shares hit a high of $483 in January 2021 and traded between $17.08 and $483 during the 2021 calendar year.
Investors who bought GameStop after Cohen disclosed his purchase and were able to time the trade perfectly to sell at all-time highs of $483 would have enjoyed turning the $1,000 investment into $66,171.
While shares of GameStop have dropped from their highs seen during the hedge fund battle, investors who bought in years ago remain profitable.
The return of Roaring Kitty <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/05/38787490/gamestop-shares-surge-as-roaring-kitty-resurfaces-after-3-year-silence">to social media</a> this year brought increased attention to GameStop once again and sent shares higher.
While Roaring Kitty has gone quiet about GameStop after a series of memes and videos and a brief return to livestreaming on YouTube, some investors remain confident in the long-term outlook of GameStop.
The video game retailer has been raising cash and is sitting on a balance that can be used for mergers and acquisitions, exploring new directions, or investing in stocks and cryptocurrency under Cohen&#8217;s guidance.
GME Price Action: GameStop stock trades at $22.29 versus a 52-week trading range of $9.95 to $64.83. GameStop stock is up 33.7% year-to-date in 2024. &nbsp;

The major U.S. indices closed in positive territory, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average gaining 0.15% to finish at 42,124.65, while the S&amp;P 500 climbed nearly 0.3% to 5,718.57. The Nasdaq also edged up, rising about 0.1% to 17,974.27.

Trump Media &amp; Technology Group Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DJT#NASDAQ">DJT</a>)
Trump Media &amp; Technology Group&#8217;s shares plunged by 10.33%, closing at $12.15, following the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40987695/whats-going-on-with-trump-media-technology-stock">expiration of a major lockup period</a>.

Snowflake Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNOW#NYSE">SNOW</a>)
Snowflake&#8217;s shares dipped by 2.71% to close at $113.26 after the company announced a $2 billion <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40991747/snowflake-stock-dips-on-offering-after-hours-what-to-know">private placement of senior convertible notes</a>.

Constellation Energy, Nike, Sinclair And Other Big Stocks Moving Higher On Friday

GameStop Corp&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>) stock price is up 17.04% year-to-date but down 12.43% over the past month.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) recently slapped a fine on CEO Ryan Cohen, adding fuel to the fire, and further stoking the volatility that GameStop stock investors are used to.
Cohen agreed to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/09/40938804/gamestop-ceo-ryan-cohen-penalized-nearly-1m-over-wells-fargo-share-acquisition">pay almost $1 million</a> to settle charges from the FTC. His failure to report the acquisition of Wells Fargo shares promptly resulted in a sharp focus on his management.
This legal hiccup hasn't exactly helped GameStop&#8217;s stock price, and it's left investors wondering whether this meme stock has run out of extra lives.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">GameStop Stock Chart Bearish: More &#8216;Game Over&#8217; Than &#8216;Level Up&#8217;? </h2>
GameStop stock's technical indicators are signaling a potential storm.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent092024&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="631" height="458" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/20085322/Screenshot-2024-09-20-at-6.22.51-PM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-558320" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/20085322/Screenshot-2024-09-20-at-6.22.51-PM.png 631w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/20085322/Screenshot-2024-09-20-at-6.22.51-PM-300x218.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 631px) 100vw, 631px" /></a></figure>

The stock's price sits at $19.51, well below critical moving averages:
<ul>
<li>Eight-day SMA: $20.57</li>
<li>20-day SMA: $21.58</li>
<li>50-day SMA: $22.74</li>
</ul>
With the stock trading below these moving averages, it's clear that GameStop is under intense selling pressure. The 200-day SMA is also closing in and if the trend continues the stock may drop below this average, signaling long-term bearishness.

The MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) sits at a negative 0.78, confirming a bearish signal.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) for GameStop stock is 37.89 and declining gradually, putting it in very close to the oversold territory. This could be a ray of hope for traders expecting a bounce back.
However, the stock is still struggling to break through any key resistance levels. This indicates further downside risks.
The Bollinger Bands (25) show a range of $18.81 &#8211; $24.47, with GameStop stock trading at $19.51, suggesting that the stock is sitting at the lower end of its range. The risk of it breaking lower increases unless some bullish catalyst intervenes.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Roaring Kitty Returns: A Meme Stock Spark? </h2>
Interestingly, meme stock hero Keith Gill, a.k.a. Roaring Kitty, recently resurfaced on social media, and GameStock stock&#8217;s price saw a small uptick in response.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
However, these short-lived bumps are becoming less impactful as GameStop stock investors look for more sustainable growth rather than internet-driven hype.
GameStop may be oversold, but the bearish technical indicators outweigh any meme stock optimism. Unless a significant fundamental shift occurs, the stock seems poised for further declines. 
For now, GameStop stock bulls might have to wait until the next big catalyst.

GameStop Stock Stuck In Level-Up Limbo: Can It Shake Off The Bearish Trend?

With a change in its business practices, GameStop Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>) allows CEO Ryan Cohen the ability to buy and sell stocks and cryptocurrency with<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/23/12/36142175/meme-king-ryan-cohen-now-able-to-trade-stocks-with-gamestop-funds"> the company's cash.</a>
While GameStop hasn't added Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) to its balance sheet yet, the company did help one customer turn a small purchase into a full BTC worth over $60,000.
What Happened: The Cardsmiths Currency Series 1 trading card series, launched in 2022, features influential people to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto">the cryptocurrency sector,</a> memes and artifacts. The set also includes randomly inserted redemption codes that are available to trade for various amounts of Bitcoin, Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), Litecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ltc/usd">LTC</a>) and Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>).
A GameStop customer found one of the redemption cards previously and upon scratching it off last month, realized he had one of the rarest cards good to redeem for one full Bitcoin. This turned his initial $33 purchase for the pack of cards into a Bitcoin worth more than $60,000.
The consumer shared his findings in a post on <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Currencytradingcards/comments/1es9ypc/got_one/">Reddit</a>, with the action now going viral thanks to GameStop tweeting about the unique story.
"A GameStop customer found 1 Bitcoin in a trading card pack," GameStop <a href="https://x.com/gamestop/status/1836110246558961800">tweeted</a>.
According to the Reddit post, the user said they thought the unscratched redemption card "looked better in the binder."
Later upon scratching off the card, the card owner thought the redemption card was good for a part of a whole Bitcoin before realizing that it was for one BTC.
"This is mind boggling to me honestly," the owner said.
The user did admit to have previously buying and opening 10 to 12 boxes of the Cardsmiths Currency Series 1 trading cards.

Why It's Important: The price of Bitcoin was around $16,500 when the series 1 currency trading card set was released, as reported by <a href="https://www.cllct.com/sports-collectibles/memorabilia/collector-finds-bitcoin-in-pack-of-cards-from-game-stop">Cllct</a>.
Another GameStop purchaser also found a Bitcoin redemption card back in March, but the number of unredeemed full Bitcoin cards could be 0 or 1 now, according to the report.
The company behind the Cardsmiths Currency Trading Cards said the set offered the "industry-first cryptocurrency redemption program."
Series 1 of the set is believed to have had five Bitcoin redemption cards. The company's CEO said earlier this year that there were only a couple unredeemed BTC cards according to a user on the Reddit thread, which could suggest that the two pulled at GameStop were the last ones.
The recent tweet will likely put increased attention on the currency trading cards and also GameStop's<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/24/05/38799011/gamestop-dives-into-collectibles-market-with-pok-mon-trading-cards"> recent push into trading cards</a> in stores and online.
GameStop's <a href="https://www.gamestop.com/search/?prefn1=brand&amp;prefv1=Cardsmiths&amp;q=Currency%20Trading%20Cards&amp;view=new&amp;utm_campaign=brand&amp;utm_content=1726594207&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=instagram">website </a>currently lists several Cardsmiths items for sale including:

<li>Series 2 Collectors Box 2-Pack: $30.00</li>
<li>Series 1 Collectors Box 2-Pack: $31.99</li>
</ul>
While the full Bitcoin redemption cards from series 1 could be completely gone, each series has redemption cards for various amounts of Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and Dogecoin.
For Series 1, the odds of getting a cryptocurrency redemption code was listed at 1:96 packs.

Bitcoin Worth $63,000 Pulled In $33 Pack Of Trading Cards At GameStop: 'Mind-Boggling' Story Goes Viral, Highlights Crypto Redemption Card

On Wednesday, the Federal Trade Commission said Ryan Cohen, managing partner of RC Ventures and Chairman and CEO of GameStop Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>), will pay a $985,320 civil penalty.
This <a href="https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2024/09/gamestop-ceo-ryan-cohen-pay-nearly-1-million-penalty-settle-antitrust-law-violation" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">fine</a> stems from charges that Cohen violated the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act by failing to file the necessary paperwork during his acquisition of shares in Wells Fargo &amp; Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>).
Cohen&#8217;s actions resulted in an acquisition that exceeded HSR filing thresholds, triggering the need for federal antitrust agencies to review the deal.

According to the FTC&#8217;s complaint, Cohen&#8217;s purchase of more than 562,000 Wells Fargo voting securities required him to file an HSR form and wait for regulatory clearance before completing the transaction.
The HSR Act mandates that companies and individuals report large transactions to the FTC and the Department of Justice to allow for federal review.
As per the complaint, Cohen <a target="_blank" href="https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/Cohen-Complaint-filed.pdf" rel="noreferrer noopener">acquired</a> 562,077 voting securities in Wells Fargo in March 2018, which resulted in his aggregated holdings of Wells Fargo securities exceeding the $100 million threshold, which in March 2018 was $168.8 million.
Cohen&#8217;s acquisition was not exempt under the Investment-Only Exemption of the HSR Act.
His emails and interactions with Wells Fargo&#8217;s leadership, where he advocated for a board seat and suggested business improvements, indicated an intent to influence the company&#8217;s operations. This intent disqualified his holdings from being considered passive investments.
In January 2021, Cohen made a corrective filing under the HSR Act for the March 2018 voting securities acquisition.
Under the law, finalizing a deal during the 30-day investigation period without approval is prohibited. At the time of Cohen&#8217;s violation, the maximum civil penalty for such infractions was $43,792 per day.
The FTC&#8217;s decision to settle the case and forward it to the DOJ for filing was unanimous, with a 5-0 vote.
Last week, GameStop reported second-quarter net sales of $798.0 million, down from $1.16 billion a year ago and missing the consensus of $895.7 million.
The video game retailer reported a profit of 1 cent per share, beating a Street consensus estimate of a loss <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/09/40803991/gamestop-q2-earnings-highlights-revenue-miss-eps-beat-cash-update-and-more" rel="noreferrer noopener">of 9 cents per share</a>.
Price Action: GME stock is up 1.50% at $19.94 during the premarket session at last check Thursday.
