AI SUMMARY โ€” Technical analysis of GME options chain suggests significant squeeze potential as call options come into the money at successive price levels, with gamma squeezes triggering additional buying pressure. At $810/share, net calls ITM would exceed float, creating a theoretically unlimited squeeze scenario, though this relies on current short reporting accuracy and assumes cascading gamma effects.

Disclosure: This is not investment advice. I own shares of GME. I like the stock. This is purely my opinion and these numbers have not been audited.



Round 2: Ding, ding, ding. Here's my previous analysis


TL;DR: The data indicates that squeezes could be on the way.


Analysis

Currently: Roughly $227m in value, or 11.6m shares, (call-put) are in the money.

 

Since rate of delta change is the highest around each strike price (meaning gamma is also largest). It would lead me to believe that a ton of shares will need to be bought to hedge these positions as these share price amounts are passed (creating a sequence of gamma squeezes).

 

**If price were to squeeze up to $810/share (~56b market cap):

 

As of 3/3 close: (Call Value ITM - Put Value ITM) = >$226m | Call Shares ITM - Put Shares ITM = >11.5m
