GameStop is moving up from a bottom and may move higher. Investors are cautioned to avoid this stock, and traders should be cautious.Short-sellers are covering today, but are likely to reposition if the price surges again and bog down the market if results fail to impress.
Given the recent results, there has been no shift in fundamental quality or hope for one. Investors should stay on the sidelines and enjoy the show because the upcoming earnings release will likely provide one. Volatility, price swings, and knee-jerk reactions are the most likely outcomes for this retail stock, and they are the purview of speculators and traders.Only a few analysts cover GameStop, so conviction in the consensus figures is low.
Institutional activity is more supportive but insufficient to drive share prices significantly higher. Institutions have bought on balance in Q2 and Q3, increasing their net position to about 30% of the stock but still a low figure. The purchases are likely speculative and likely offset by options trades or short sales, and more likely to drive volatility than not.
The price action shows a bottom for the stock near $20, and upward movement is indicated by stochastic and MACD. However, the stock is trading within a range with robust overhead due to the meme-driven price pop in May and June. The critical resistance targets are $27.50 and $30, possibly hit before the Q3 results are released, and $40, which may be reached after the release if there is even a kernel of good news.
