- Investment research firm Capital Flows predicts a GameStop-style gamma squeeze in Hyperliquid Strategies Inc. (PURR) within the next 60 trading days.
- The thesis cites a small tradable float, concentrated call buying, and catalysts like PURR’s upcoming inclusion in the Russell indexes on June 26.
- Hyperliquid’s HYPE token hit its fourth all-time high in a week on Sunday, with retail sentiment on platforms like Stocktwits remaining “extremely bullish.”
On Sunday, investment research publication Capital Flows ignited speculation by declaring that Hyperliquid Strategies Inc. (PURR) is poised for a gamma squeeze reminiscent of GameStop’s 2021 rally. This bold prediction, detailed in their recent newsletter, was accompanied by the revelation that the position is the analyst’s largest personal holding.
The firm argues PURR’s $1.4 billion market cap and small float mirror GameStop pre-2021. They cite a “very high probability” of a squeeze driven by heavy call demand and limited listed option strikes.
Consequently, the analyst said PURR recently saw its largest single day of trading volume on record. They noted implied volatility is rising alongside the stock price, which they interpret as aggressive position-building.
However, the analyst also identified a potential hurdle, stating, “There is a massive problem with the calls right now, though. The strikes aren’t listed very high.” Market makers may need to buy shares to hedge if higher strikes are listed, fueling a self-reinforcing move.
Two key catalysts were highlighted for the potential squeeze. The primary one is PURR’s upcoming addition to the Russell 2000 and 3000 indexes effective June 26. The broader context is a credit-cycle rally pushing capital into riskier assets.
Meanwhile, the associated cryptocurrency token, HYPE, reached its fourth all-time high in a week on Sunday. Retail sentiment for both PURR and HYPE on Stocktwits remained in the “extremely bullish” zone with high levels of chatter.
It is critical to note that such low-float, call-driven setups are highly speculative and can reverse quickly. The firm’s disclosure of its own position underscores the high-stakes, personal nature of this trade thesis.
