GameStop’s Bitcoin Bet Fails to Wow Traders. Can It Copy MSTR?GameStop NYSE:GME wants to jam Bitcoin BITSTAMP:BTCUSD into its treasury. But isn’t that a risky move that threatens to derail the video-game retailer’s finances? With $1.3 billion on the line, GameStop’s pivot to Bitcoin in efforts to revive its flagging share price may make things even worse. Let’s talk about that.
Desperate times call for desperate measures. After a couple months of speculation, traders’ suspicions turned out correct — GameStop is indeed adding Bitcoin on its balance sheet .
The company confirmed the plan in its quarterly earnings update released last week. That was all good — shares jumped 8% on the news and closed the cash session higher by 12%.
But these solid gains were not only wiped out — traders doubled down on the selling pressure when the shares crashed 23% a day later because GameStop unveiled a scary figure.
To make Bitcoin a treasury reserve asset, GameStop said it is seeking to sell $1.3 billion of convertible bonds , which will be used “for general corporate purposes, including the acquisition of Bitcoin in a manner consistent with GameStop’s Investment Policy.”
What do these convertible bonds do? They’re essentially papers that certify you’ve given the company a loan. Usually, they come bearing some nice guaranteed yield, but in this case, the yield is exactly 0.00%.
Another string attached to GameStop's bonds is that they are due in 2030 and you can choose to convert them into shares, each with a price tag of $28.46, or you can take them out in cash. That’s one reason why the stock tanked last week — not too favorable conditions.
Another one, and perhaps a bigger worry for investors, is that GameStop’s net income will no longer be as secure as it’s been until now. More precisely, GameStop generates around $220 million in interest each year thanks to its holding of Treasury bills.
With Bitcoin getting in the mix of factors contributing to the bottom-line figure, things may spin out of ordinary. True, Bitcoin may go up in price and lift GameStop’s net income but it could also decide to nosedive for no reason and eat into GameStop’s profits.
Judging by the votes of the traders last week (if the stock market is a voting machine in the short term), they seem to believe in the latter. At least for now. But that's not a concern to the OG meme stock . Where it hopes Bitcoin will make a difference is the long run. Just look at MicroStrategy MSTR .
Strategy, formerly known as MicroStrategy , is the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin holder. Even more, it’s a Bitcoin hoarder, sitting on more than 506,000 Bitcoin, according to BTC-tracking platform Bitcoin Treasuries .
Strategy has been issuing debt to buy Bitcoin since 2020 and that’s the exact same thing that GameStop is doing. But there’s a key difference. Strategy has largely strapped its share price to the performance of Bitcoin. So much so that the market has been feverishly buying the stock as a way to get exposure to Bitcoin (on steroids). For GameStop, it’s too late for that.
Shares of Strategy are trading at less than 2x the value of its Bitcoin holdings.
GameStop, in contrast, has appealed to investors for its stack of cash (besides the speculative bonanza) with $4.8 billion in dry powder ready to be deployed. The stock is trading at more than 2x its cash holdings and the cash-to-Bitcoin conversion is likely to dent that performance and trigger some outflows. And that’s how the company puts its premium at risk.
So is it safe to say that GameStop is looking to spark a share-price rally by following MicroStrategy’s lead? Maybe. But the exposure to Bitcoin also comes at a perilous time for the cryptocurrency industry. Bitcoin is down 10% on the year and more than 25% from its all-time high of $109,000 to hover around $84,000 a pop.
Can the Bitcoin philosophy reel GameStop out of the slump? Or will it drag the bottom line and chip away at whatever’s left of the bruised valuation under $10 billion? You be the judge — share your thoughts in the comment section!
GameStop Stock Holds 11% Gain Following Earnings ReportThe stock price has surged rapidly, nearly reaching the $30 mark, after a strong bullish shift emerged following the company’s latest earnings report. At first glance, the results were mixed: sales came in at $1.28 billion for Q4 2024, down from $1.8 billion in the same quarter of 2023. However, net income held strong at $131 million, compared to $63 million a year earlier. This disparity in results created volatility in the stock price. Adding to the bullish momentum was the announcement that GameStop plans to sell assets to create a strategic reserve in Bitcoin, which helped fuel the rally in recent hours.
Breakout from Bearish Channel:
The stock had been trading within a downward channel since early January, but recently broke out with a strong bullish move. The speed and strength of this breakout may lead to short-term selling corrections as the price stabilizes.
RSI Indicator:
The RSI line is now approaching the overbought zone around the 70 level. As price action continues at these levels, the market may be showing signs of imbalance due to excessive buying pressure, which could open the door to bearish corrections in the upcoming sessions.
Key Levels to Watch:
$31: A nearby resistance level, marking the highest price zone reached earlier this year. A sustained break above this level could trigger a strong short-term uptrend.
$25: A support level aligned with the top of the previous bearish channel and the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement. This could act as a tentative area for a short-term pullback.
$19: A distant support level, corresponding to the lows from September 2024. If selling pressure brings the price back to this level, it could reactivate the broader bearish channel seen in recent weeks.

$GME - More of the same weird stuffHi all,
More of the same weird stuff where GME has been showing signs of wanting to spike for quite some time now. Generally last week and especially on friday it showed parabolic upwards spiking which usually happens when a move is imminent.
If i was my old degenerate self, i'd be buying out of the money calls expiring this week, and i might just do that.
I don't have a perfectly locked on AI model for GME yet so i don't know for sure yet what's going to happen. My model is okay but not perfect, last i have is a signal from the 11'th saying to buy 22.5 Puts and although that trade did win temporarily by dropping GME to 21.90, GME is now at 23.00 so yeah... needs a bit more time to train.
Will update if i see signs of rejection/even more likely to pump.
No idea when it will pump but due to the parabolic way the data is moving, it usually means the move is extremely imminent e.g day/days less than a week etc.
Lets see. Will update once i have more.
Ethereum THE GREATEST SHORT SQUEEZE in CRYPTO!ETH paired with BTC x GME stock
What happened to GameStop stock? This is very interesting because it helps to understand the “mechanics” behind the formation of such a specific arc (logarithmic chart).
1. Professionals were actively taking short positions.
2. Uncovered shorts forced sellers to buy back shares (to close positions) as the price increased, which further accelerated buying.
3. Volatility and price growth fueled enthusiasm, increasing demand and triggering a pump.
The GameStop situation was long considered a “retail victory,” but as it turned out, it wasn’t entirely so—it was a coordinated move by some major players against others who were heavily shorting the stock, being absolutely convinced of the company’s failure.
How much hate is there around ETH? How many bloggers are writing, “ETH is useless now”? Exactly. Meanwhile, ETH has 6-8 times the TVL of SOL!
$GME - Another oneHi guys,
Seeing a ton of short covering in the last 2-3 weeks for GME in my data.
What i expect to happen:
To keep things simple, i estimate that there will be about 30 days of $22-27 on GME, more likely on the lower end of those prices, then a 11% price increase around early early to mid march, a small drop from profit taking and possibly another 12% price pump mid-end March.
The reasonable thing to do is to wait for you guys to drop it to $22-$23 range before buying in.
imgur.com
The trade:
Not entirely sure from where the +11% pump will start, it could be from 22, 25 or even 27. Due to that i'm buying at $25 call expiring in around 45 days from today and then another one once you drop it to $22 ish. Basically ATM calls expiring before GME earnings as that seems to be the timeframe for what i see in my data.
Will update this if the data changes excessively due to strange and excessive buying/selling caused by this post that may skew this play.
Other:
My AI training on this is still in progress. Will announce my website that uses my strategy on trading GME and a lot of other tickers soon.
Trade high probabilities using game theoryAccording to statistics, 95% of traders are losing longterm. Not because they lack skill, but because they involve in high variance (or poor probability) situations.
What is game theory? we can define GT with three principles.
*People dont want to lose. (hence.. predictable).
*People buy good things at good price, or they are profit maximizing.
*Everyone is strategic.
** we assume that "nobody can predict future".
** markets respond to feedbacks or signals.
Practice: the higher something goes, potential narrows and risk increases. Deeper something falls, "potential" becomes attractive. Once market decides that it will fall -- people assume crash as possibility. People who can buy at a strong trend line - has benefit of having more information.
(1) Downtrending VIX highs and accumulating lows. a strong signal about SPX peak, with everyone expecting a market correction before US election. ---> GT in practice.
(2) pre-election. Markets be wobbly, pointing to 50-50 probability or risk. Maybe there was fear of NVDA/AAPL high valuations, or the fear due to Trump tariff policy (markets are 6m forward looking) as bond yields were rallying.
If we assume statistically, markets boom after elections. We can predict GT in action (or call it market forces). imo that still is a profitable risk.
People hate uncertainty and they love guarantees. So the "wobble" was reasonable.
(3) VIX higher low.. predictably (GT) sell off follows. Almost as by the book.
other way to put it? people maximize potential while minimize loses/risk. There are periods of volatile markets and periods for one directional rallies.
P.S. Blue arrows are longterm macd turning points.
Another gem, GME coin on Solana networkWell, after WIF and MEME ideas of mine, i would like to share with you another gem.
Unfortunately, in TW the only chart i could reach is the one which tracks the poloniex trades, but that is not that relevant due to the lack of trading volume in that platform and i will not share here, but there are other sites where these tokens can be tracked, and i hope that in TW those will also be available. :)
So, here is the analysis of the coin.
-The token has been alive since January 28, there was an ATH on February 7, and it was not wiped out after that, it survived.
- The number of holders is already 22k, 1 week ago it was only 19-20 K. This number of holders, if not synthetic (airdrop), can provide a stable enough footing to prevent the token from mowing down. Dogwifhat also had this number of holders a few weeks ago, before it went up from 0.18 to 2.2. use your brain!
- The GME itself was an event of historical importance, when many small traders farted the big ones who shorted the GME. A symbol of community unity, if you can call it that.
- The ATH is 0.015, I got in at 0.0026, I measured 10X from that, but if this token is not shorted, this token will be totaled and GREED will start in people, seeing CRYPTOCAP_OLD:BONK , $dogwifhat and others, they will look for an alternative, whatever it may be and it will be pumped up slowly.
- There is a brutally serious community, 12k+TG members, there is a separate raid and a meme TG group, the content is leaked to social media and everywhere from GME
- Top 10 holders own 14%, of which 3% is the raydium pool. That's a pretty good distribution.
- They made a MERCH webshop. where all profits are theoretically plowed back into marketing.
In my way of thinking, accordingly to Dogwifhat and others, with GME it could be possible to reach 0.1 which is basically 34x from there. DYOR.
CAUTION: These tokens are memetokens, please tryy to think them as a kind of gamble, and risk only the amount you are willing to lose.
GameStop GME: 26.18 Break to 34+ SkyrocketMorning Trading family
GameStop's stock is at a crossroads! If it falls below 26.18, it might slide down to 25.50, or even 24.64! But if it jumps over 29, we could see it climb all the way to 34 or more! This could be a big moment for GameStop.

Not to forget the substantial cup and handle formation on the hourly chart.

What’s Next for GameStop: $40 or $28?Good Morning, Trading Family!
What’s Next for GameStop: $40 or $28?
Here’s the plan: if GameStop moves above $34.30, we could see it head toward $40. If it drops to $30.54, it might bounce back—but if it breaks below that, it could fall to $28.
This Sunday, I’m hosting a webinar on how emotions can mess with your trading and what you can do to stay in control.

GameStop (GME) Can We Jump Over $33 to Reach New Heights?Hey there, trading family! Get ready for an exciting journey with GameStop (GME) stock! Right now, GME is like a video game character trying to jump over a big obstacle at $33. If it makes this jump, wow, we might see it zoom up to play between $36.50 and $37.50! It's like reaching a new level in your favorite game.
But here's the catch: if GME doesn't make it over $33, it's like falling back to the start of the level, or in this case, dropping back down to hang out between $25 and $27. We'll look at cool charts and listen to what other gamers (I mean, traders!) are saying about GME to help us guess what might happen next. Will GME soar like a high score, or will we have to retry the level?
If you found this post useful share, like or tell me your thoughts would love to hear them.

Multi-Week Trendline Showing Strong Support
Look at this sexy chart. All of December GME has been hanging out in this upward channel. The bottom line has acted as support not 2 or 3 times, but EIGHT freakin times. Today was critical in my opinion if the trendline was going to remain strong, especially on a Friday given that max pain was sitting under the line at $30.
RSI has also had a support line around 50. We have bounced off that line yet again. Hopefully soon this is the last one.
Another thing to note is OBV which has been steadily climbing indicating that any pullback is just a distribution period before another leg up.
In my opinion, next week we should see GME test the top of that trendline around $40. If it rejects we may see it come down to test the trend line again around $33 or $34. But if it breaks, we could see this puppy FLY to the Fibonacci extension from the May squeeze. We would match that squeeze at $64.98 while the next (log) line is at $205!!
Lets get it!
GME GameStop Among My Top 10 Picks for 2025 | Price TargetIf you haven`t bought GME before the previous breakout:
My price target for GME in 2025 is $43, driven by the following fundamental factors:
Transformation into a Digital Retailer:
GameStop is actively transitioning from a traditional brick-and-mortar retailer to a digital-first company. This strategic pivot includes enhancing its e-commerce platform and investing in digital gaming, which are essential for capturing the growing online gaming market. As consumers increasingly shift towards digital purchases, GameStop's ability to adapt and innovate positions it to benefit from this trend, potentially driving significant revenue growth in the coming years.
Financial Recovery and Profitability Focus:
After a challenging period, GameStop is on a path toward profitability. Analysts predict that the company will earn approximately $0.08 per share in the fiscal year ending January 2025, reflecting a positive trend in its financial performance. The company's focus on reducing excess costs and improving operational efficiencies will further enhance its bottom line. As profitability improves, investor confidence is likely to increase, supporting higher stock valuations.
Strong Market Sentiment and Stock Performance:
GameStop has demonstrated remarkable stock performance over the past year, with a return of over 110%, significantly outperforming major indices 1. This momentum has created positive market sentiment around GME, which could attract more investors looking for growth opportunities. The current trading price around $26.84 suggests that there is room for appreciation as the company continues to execute its strategic initiatives.
Strategic Partnerships and Collaborations:
GameStop's collaborations with various technology partners are opening new avenues for growth. These partnerships are aimed at enhancing customer experience and expanding product offerings, particularly in the pre-owned game category where GameStop has unique refurbishment capabilities. By leveraging these strengths, GameStop can cater to niche segments of the gaming market, further solidifying its competitive position.
Inverted Head & Shoulders, Cup & Handle, Bull Flag GME DailyHey, everyone. It's that time again for the latest market update on GME. The charts are buzzing with activity, and we have some exciting developments to share.
Currently, we are trading within a substantial Bull Pennant on both the 15-minute and 1-hour charts. This indicates strong consolidation and potential for a significant move upwards. Additionally, we have a Bull Flag on the 4-hour chart, adding to the bullish sentiment.
On the daily timeframe, we've formed an impressive Cup & Handle, an Inverse Head & Shoulders, and a Bull Flag for the handle of the cup. These patterns are powerful indicators of potential upward momentum.
But that's not all! We are also in the midst of a significant Golden Cross on both the daily and weekly charts. This crossover of moving averages is a strong bullish signal, suggesting that we could be on the verge of a major uptrend.
Here’s a detailed technical breakdown:
15-minute chart: Bull Pennant
1-hour chart: Bull Pennant
4-hour chart: Bull Flag
Daily chart: Cup & Handle , Inverse Head & Shoulders , and Bull Flag
Weekly chart: Bull Flag & Golden Cross
For those who are new to these updates, it's worth noting the historical context: The last time GME had a Golden Cross on the weekly chart was back in January 2021. Following that, GME saw an incredible 12,000% run over just 183 trading days.
With the return of the Kitty and all systems go across all timeframes, the stage is set for a potentially explosive movement. Stay tuned and be ready for what promises to be an exhilarating ride.
GameStop Corp. ($GME): High-Risk, High-Reward OpportunityGameStop Corp. ( NYSE:GME ): High-Risk, High-Reward Opportunity
Trade Setup:
- Initial Entry: $31.45
- Alternative Entry: $24.11
- Stop-Loss: $10.88
- Take-Profit: $125.99
Rationale:
GameStop, a prominent video game retailer, has experienced significant volatility, often influenced by retail investor interest and speculative trading. The stock's history includes notable short squeezes, leading to substantial price surges. Recent discussions suggest the potential for another upward movement, presenting a high-risk, high-reward scenario.
Financial Performance:
In Q2 2024, GameStop reported revenue of $798.3 million, down from $1.16 billion the previous year. The company is focusing on cost containment and plans to close underperforming stores to enhance efficiency.
Volume and Short Interest:
As of November 15, 2024, GameStop had approximately 31.87 million shares sold short, representing about 7.47% of the float. This level of short interest indicates a moderate potential for a short squeeze.
Analyst Ratings:
Analyst coverage on GameStop is limited, with some maintaining a "Sell" rating and a price target of $10.00, suggesting potential downside. However, the stock's volatility and retail investor interest can lead to price movements that diverge from analyst expectations.
Risk Management:
Given the stock's volatility, strict adherence to the stop-loss at $10.88 is crucial to manage potential losses. The ambitious take-profit target of $125.99 offers a substantial reward, but traders should be prepared for significant price fluctuations.
