US Top News and Analysis | Risky meme trading is back. A trading rule change may have lit the fuse

Risky meme‑stock trading is resurging after a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rule change eliminated the “pattern day trader” requirement that forced traders with four or more day trades in five business days to keep a $25,000 equity cushion. By replacing that rule with a more flexible intraday‑margin framework, the regulator has lowered the barrier for smaller accounts to engage in rapid‑fire trades, prompting a wave of retail activity that has driven dramatic, volatility‑laden rallies such as Allbirds soaring from about $2.50 to $24 on an AI‑rebranding announcement, and Avis Budget Group spiking from under $100 to near $850 before sharply retreating. Analysts at JPMorgan note that crowding into meme stocks is approaching levels seen in past risk‑chase episodes, and the new rule is expected to boost retail volumes, broaden market participation, and increase liquidity, albeit with heightened potential for swift reversals.
