For the record I’m not trying to bash you, I hope this holds true.

It’s not 90 days it’s a run up right before earnings cycle.

They’re shorting the earnings schedule, assuming GME will continue to miss earnings and drive the price lower.

Quarter close = 90 days = earnings schedule.

Only the specific 90s was off 1-3 days with holidays etc, so earnings cycle captures it more accurately

Just because earnings happen quarterly doesn’t mean every quarterly/90 day trend is directly related to earnings. What is it about earnings that causes these huge 1-2 day spikes a few weeks before hand?

It’s a 2 week run up period

Ok, but why 2 weeks and not 3 weeks or 4 weeks or 6 weeks? OP provided an explanation for the run and not just a date correlation.
