🎮 GameStop stock rises again after Michael Burry says he’s buying — what traders watch next

GameStop climbed roughly 2% in premarket trading Tuesday, extending gains after a 4.4% rise in the previous session.

Michael Burry revealed in a Substack post that he has been purchasing the stock, while an entity tied to a company director also disclosed a recent share acquisition in a regulatory filing.

The move matters because GameStop remains a high-beta retail favorite, where headlines and online chatter can still trigger sharp price swings before the opening bell. Its volatility continues to attract short-term traders looking to ride momentum once regular trading begins.

Burry’s renewed involvement highlights how sensitive the stock remains to high-profile names, even years after the meme-stock frenzy that turned the videogame retailer into a retail trading icon. TechStock² reports.

💵 Dollar traders are paying a record to bet on a deeper selloff

Dollar traders are paying the most on record to wager on a deeper selloff in the greenback as a volatile US political landscape drives a surge in bearish hedges.

The premium for short-dated options that profit from a weaker US currency has widened to the highest level since Bloomberg began compiling the data in 2011.
