A volatile morning for GameStop's stock lead to a Limit Up-Limit Down halt. Here's the deal with the NYSE's GME halt.
If you take NYSE's word as gospel, GameStop's stock hit a Limit Up volatility pause, but a jump to $199.41/share probably isn't enough to trigger such actions. 2.5 million shares of GameStop (GME) traded in the first 15 minutes of the day. While we honestly have no idea what caused this specific halt, various platforms show GameStop's stock did hit a high of the day early this morning.
