Will the GME and AMC-led Meme Rally Continue Today?

9:00am EDT; AUG 25, 2021:

Yesterday, Gamestop (GME) and AMC led the charge on an impressive Meme stock rally, with GME reaching a daily high of +36%, closing out the day +27% at $210.29. AMC closed out the day at $44.26, a 20% daily gain. Throughout the day, we saw heavy call option activity flowing in for both GME and AMC. Looking at the Unusual Whales Flow, we can see via large and small orders alike that the bullish sentiment for GME's meme rally carried throughout the afternoon, with options orders flying in right up to the bell.

Following suit, a number of other stocks with previous “meme” status surged, with Clover Health (CLOV) heading into Tuesday’s close at just shy of +10% ($8.92), BlackBerry (BB) closed at +9.5% ($11.10). Both of these tickers also experienced a frenzy of options flow.
