It’s basically a bet on a stock’s price that hedge funds have made in the form of options that pay out if the price is reached. So, right now, there are tens of millions of these in the 6-8 range, and hedge funds will be left holding the bag if they can’t drive the price down before today’s closing. If they don’t reach those prices, those options flood the market, creating a squeeze and driving the price up after those shares are forced to meet the ask of investors. This is just my layman’s understanding.

Didn't this happen last time?!?:what::dahell:

If you actually read that article, you can tell it's just a tech startup trying to get exposure using the GME hype

With major moves like this, creates volatile stock, and that means lots open interest, that is essentially the gamma squeeze.
