Stock halts are normal for volatile stocks, if a stock goes up or down like 10-20% or something within a short enough time it's the rules for exchanges to stop trades for 5 minutes. There are halts almost every day for various stocks. However, GME has been quite the mover on no real news, and I don't think WSB or reddit was able to make the move itself. Which tells me it's not a coincidence that "Gamestop" has started becoming alive in the last few weeks
