$GME only has to close at $30.01 tomorrow to make most of hedge fund shenanigans meaningless, and a close at $34.01 nullifies it all. Max call option strike is $34 for options expiration tomorrow, and if all the call options are exercised, hedgies have to deliver a crapload of shares they don't have by market close on Tuesday. Then we start all over with new max call strike of $100 for next Friday's call options. NET RESULT for this week would be huge expenditure of ammo and liquidity by hedgies for zero actual impact in their favor.
Shares required to be delivered from large amount of exercised call options the previous Friday have a tendency to create big "gamma squeeze" on Monday and Tuesday as hedgies scramble to find shares that don't exist. Current $GME squeeze appears to have started this way on April 26 and then just snowballed.
