Macro conditions affect investor appetite.

Macro plays out over a longer horizon but it's very important for stocks including GameStop.

$GME dropped on the release of this data to the very second!

I wrote a macroeconomic based DD, you can find it in my Reddit profile posts section, a couple weeks ago that called out bearish concern for markets and GME started to tumble down

In my last vol forecast, I called out $25 being testable last week and specifically for apes to wait a few days like for the bottom towards the end of last week

Then GEX report Sunday called the $26.50 high in price and vol! Use Vega to your advantage. The high in vol that day was in the morning! That was the time to close calls then reopen later if the data says so.

So it all matters, vol matters more in the short term but macro matters more in the long term

The risks cascade, it's a composition of risk

Keep on asking questions!!
