<p>A mid-March earnings report saw
<a href="https://www.schaeffersresearch.com/content/education/2021/06/09/a-meme-stock-update-for-the-ever-growing-stonk-nation" target="_blank"><strong>meme stock</strong></a> <strong>GameStop Corp. (NYSE:GME)
</strong>fly up the charts, with the stock nabbing an annual high of $199.41 by March 29. In the subsequent month, GME has managed to cool off to around 20% below it's year-to-date breakeven level. Last seen down 5.3% to
trade at $118.30, the equity is on track to log its fifth-straight close below its 50-day moving average. </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://schaeffers-cdn.s3.amazonaws.com/images/default-source/schaeffers-cdn-images/2022/may/intraday/gme-chart-may-2.png?sfvrsn=71a6d006_2" data-displaymode="Original"
alt="GME Chart May 2" title="GME Chart May 2" class="img-responsive" style="margin: auto;"></p>
<p>The recent downward movement from GME has stirred up quite the frenzy in the options pits. The equity landed on Schaeffer's Senior Quantitative Analyst Rocky White's list of S&P 400 (SP400) stocks that have
attracted the highest weekly options volume within the past two weeks. In the past 10 days, 363,727 calls and 228,018 puts were exchanged, putting GME second on White's list. The most popular during this time period was
the weekly 4/29 2,500-strike put, followed by the 2,400-strike put in the same series. </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://schaeffers-cdn.s3.amazonaws.com/images/default-source/schaeffers-cdn-images/2022/may/intraday/mao-chart-may-5.png?sfvrsn=2a7d006_2" data-displaymode="Original"

<p style="text-align: left;">While calls outpaced puts on an absolute basis in the last two weeks, there's a clear put-biased amongst short-term options traders. This is per GME's 10-day put/call volume ratio at the
International Securities Exchange (ISE), Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE), and NASDAQ OMX PHLX (PHLX) that stands in the slightly elevated 71st percentile of its annual range, implying a preference for puts
recently.</p>
<p>For those wanting to join these options traders, now could be the ideal time. GameStop's Schaeffer's Volatility Index (SVI) of 97% sits in the 18th percentile of its annual range, meaning options traders are pricing in
extremely low volatility expectations for the time being.</p>

<p>As is the case with most meme stocks, short sellers remain firmly in control. Short interest increased 15.3% in the last reporting period, and the 14.13 million shares sold short make up 22% of the stock's available
float, or over three day's worth of pent-up buying power. </p>

WHY GAMESTOP STOCK OPTIONS POPPED RECENTLY
OPTIONS TRADERS BOMBARDED GAMESTOP STOCK AFTER ITS PULLBACK FROM ANNUAL HIGHS
Jake Scott
Assistant Editor
May 2, 2022 at 12:49 PM
* GME
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bezos & Musk Investing Billions to Transform America
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GME has seen a surge in options volume during the past two weeks
A mid-March earnings report saw meme stock GameStop Corp. (NYSE:GME) fly up the
charts, with the stock nabbing an annual high of $199.41 by March 29. In the
subsequent month, GME has managed to cool off to around 20% below it's
year-to-date breakeven level. Last seen down 5.3% to trade at $118.30, the
equity is on track to log its fifth-straight close below its 50-day moving
average.
The recent downward movement from GME has stirred up quite the frenzy in the
options pits. The equity landed on Schaeffer's Senior Quantitative Analyst Rocky
White's list of S&P 400 (SP400) stocks that have attracted the highest weekly
options volume within the past two weeks. In the past 10 days, 363,727 calls and
228,018 puts were exchanged, putting GME second on White's list. The most
popular during this time period was the weekly 4/29 2,500-strike put, followed
by the 2,400-strike put in the same series.
While calls outpaced puts on an absolute basis in the last two weeks, there's a
clear put-biased amongst short-term options traders. This is per GME's 10-day
put/call volume ratio at the International Securities Exchange (ISE), Chicago
Board Options Exchange (CBOE), and NASDAQ OMX PHLX (PHLX) that stands in the
slightly elevated 71st percentile of its annual range, implying a preference for
puts recently.
For those wanting to join these options traders, now could be the ideal time.
GameStop's Schaeffer's Volatility Index (SVI) of 97% sits in the 18th percentile
of its annual range, meaning options traders are pricing in extremely low
volatility expectations for the time being.
As is the case with most meme stocks, short sellers remain firmly in control.
Short interest increased 15.3% in the last reporting period, and the 14.13
million shares sold short make up 22% of the stock's available float, or over
three day's worth of pent-up buying power.
