However, a planned livestream hosted by Citron, intended for Wednesday originally, was canceled, and Citron has complained about "hacking" of its livestream events and its Twitter account recently. A report in Bloomberg News referred to Citron's technical issues as a backlash from a Reddit community that is rabidly bullish on GameStop. Shares of GameStop began a parabolic rise last week, and the upsurge was attributed by some to a short squeeze, where investors who are betting that the stock price will fall in value are forced to buy shares they have borrowed in their bearish bets, which can have the effect of amplifying a stock's rise. Market participants also see the rally in GameStop as evidence of a bubble forming in segments of the market, with the Federal Reserve and government providing liquidity and support for the COVID-19-stricken financial market and maintaining interest rates at or near 0% — a recipe that bears have said has encouraged speculative investments.
