Reemergence of “Roaring Kitty” Sparks GameStop Frenzy

The notorious figure often referred to as “Roaring Kitty” has made a resurgence on social media, announcing holdings valued at $181.4 million in GameStop stock and call options. This revelation stirred a significant overnight increase of 19% in the GME stock price.

The GameStop ($GME) meme coin, which rose to fame during the tumultuous short squeeze craze in 2021, has witnessed an impressive 300% upsurge in value within the last 24 hours. Currently, the GME cryptocurrency is being traded at $0.01366, with its market capitalization nearing $100 million. Furthermore, the daily trading volume has surged by an astonishing 1,000%, surpassing $178 million.

Impact of Keith Gill’s Declaration on GameStop's Rally

Keith Gill, the individual behind the online persona “Roaring Kitty,” recently reappeared on social media after the market frenzy in the previous month. Subsequent to Gill's disclosure of holding $181.4 million worth of GME stock and call options, GameStop (NYSE: GME) witnessed a substantial overnight surge of over 19% in its trading.

According to Gill’s Reddit post, he shared a screenshot depicting the acquisition of 5 million GME shares for $115.7 million and an investment of $65.7 million in call options. These actions indicated Gill's anticipation that GME would reach at least $20 per share by June 21. The screenshot also revealed that Gill has made profits exceeding $9.3 million from his GME holdings while incurring a loss of nearly $2.5 million on his call options.

GameStop's Swift Ascend Amid Market Conditions

After Gill's Reddit announcement, GameStop experienced a rapid 19.19% surge in just 20 minutes in Robinhood’s overnight markets, reaching $27.58. Importantly, GameStop closed at $23.14 on May 31 and has seen a 38.8% uptick in its shares this year, potentially propelled by Gill's return.

Meme Coins Thrive Despite Market Trends

Despite prevailing market consolidations, the meme coin sector has shown robust performance during April and May. While leading meme coins like Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB) have been stabilizing, other contenders such as Pepe Coin (PEPE) and Dogwifhat (WIF) have delivered notable returns in recent weeks.

The narrative of GameStop (GME) and meme coins challenging traditional wealth creation norms continues, offering the appealing possibility of converting regular investors into overnight millionaires. GME and analogous stocks demonstrate substantial promise in the current quarter.
