My two cents:
Gamblers bidding up shares of failing companies, such as GME, to absurd valuations, is a sign of excess speculation that one would expect near a market top.
Most people involved will be burned by this wild speculation in the long run.
The new rules at Robinhood are unprecedented, anti-customer, and it almost seems like they want to reduce their trading business.
Experienced short sellers, such as Citron Research, announcing they would no longer do any short sales (assuming they are telling the truth) is a sign of capitulation that one would expect near a market top.
Source of quotes below:
"Robinhood. ... One day after the company drew down on its bank lines and obtain a $1 billion rescue capital investment, the company found itself in lockdown mode, allowing just a handful of shares to be bought at a time, effectively shutting down in all but name (it couldn't risk another day of furious public outcry and massive client departures if it blocked trading completely).
However ... in a blog post the broker ... made a shocking announcement: going forward, customers will be subject to maximum aggregate limits in 51 securities of which 14 are capped at position limits of just 5 shares, while allowing total holdings in 36 securities to be just one share!

... no client is allowed to one more than 1 share in names like GME, AMC, AG, BBBY, BYND, WKHS and many others.
Even boring, low volatility names like GM and SBUX are limited to just one share.
This is what the blog post said:"
"The table below shows the maximum number of shares and options contracts to which you can increase your positions. Please note that these are aggregate limits for each security and not per-order limits, and include shares and options contracts that you already hold. These limits may be subject to change throughout the day." "
