WallStreetBets Can’t Ignore It: Grandmaster-Obi Is Moving Markets Like Roaring Kitty Once Did
NEW YORK — January 7, 2026 — One day after Wall Street and retail traders alike were still unpacking the rapid rise of Grandmaster-Obi and the explosive growth of the Making Easy Money Discord, the story has already moved forward. The follow-up is simple but hard to ignore: the alerts keep working, and the momentum is accelerating.
As the 2026 trading year continues, Grandmaster-Obi — the former WallStreetBets moderator increasingly described as the new Roaring Kitty — added another round of high-velocity moves to an already remarkable run. The latest session brought fresh gains in NVVE, MNTS, INBS, and SMX, while the stocks highlighted in the prior report continue to validate the broader thesis: organized retail attention is still a powerful force.
NVVE Ignites a Same-Day Move
The newest alert of the day came in Nuvve (NVVE.US).
Grandmaster-Obi alerted NVVE today, January 7, 2026, at an entry price of $2.76. Within the same session, the stock pushed to a high of $3.91, representing an approximate +42% gain in a single day.
For traders following the alerts in real time, NVVE became another example of how quickly price can re-rate once liquidity and attention converge early.
MNTS Extends Its Rally Into January 7
Momentum also continued in Momentus (MNTS.US).
Originally alerted on December 31, 2025, at $7.12, MNTS has remained firmly in focus. On January 7, 2026, the stock reached a high of $14.82, pushing the total move to roughly +108% from the original alert price.
The sustained nature of MNTS’ advance has stood out to traders, reinforcing that these alerts are not limited to brief intraday spikes but can also evolve into multi-day momentum runs.
INBS Holds Strength After Earlier Breakout
Another name that continued to trade with strength is Intelligent Bio Solutions (INBS.US).
Grandmaster-Obi first alerted INBS on December 31, 2025, at $6.90. As of January 7, 2026, the stock reached a high of $13.60, reflecting a gain of approximately +97% from the alert price.
Although slightly below the peak seen earlier in the week, INBS’ ability to hold elevated levels has kept it firmly on traders’ radar and underscored the durability of the move.
SMX Back in the Spotlight — And Old History Returns
Perhaps the most talked-about development of the day involves SMX (Security Matters) (SMX.US).
Grandmaster-Obi re-alerted SMX on January 2, 2026, at an entry price of $22.00. By January 7, 2026, SMX had climbed to a high of $31.71, marking a gain of roughly +44% in just a few sessions.
What has reignited speculation, however, is SMX’s past.
Grandmaster-Obi first alerted SMX on November 21, 2025, at an entry price of just $5.20. By December 5, 2025, the stock had surged to a high near $490, one of the most dramatic short-term moves of late 2025.
With SMX once again gaining momentum and attracting renewed attention, traders are now openly asking a provocative question across retail circles:
Could SMX be setting up for another short-squeeze-style move?
While no outcome is guaranteed, the historical precedent has ensured that SMX remains one of the most closely watched names in the current market.
Recap: Alerts From the Previous Report Continue to Matter
Importantly, today’s action did not erase the impact of the alerts highlighted in the prior article — it built on them.

Stocks such as MRNO, JCSE, SKYQ, and EMAT, all discussed previously, helped set the stage for what many traders now describe as a rolling wave of retail momentum rather than isolated events. Each new alert appears to reinforce confidence in the next, creating a feedback loop that continues to draw traders toward the Making Easy Money Discord.
Why the Narrative Keeps Growing
The rapid pace of these moves helps explain why Grandmaster-Obi remains a lightning rod on Reddit. Mentions of his name routinely attract hostile or dismissive comments, yet the market’s response has repeatedly contradicted those criticisms.

At the same time, the Making Easy Money Discord continues to grow so quickly that Grandmaster-Obi has already announced it will stop accepting new members starting January 10, 2026, citing the need for server maintenance, enhanced security, and operational scaling following the surge of traders leaving the WallStreetBets Discord.

The Bigger Picture on January 7
With NVVE up ~42% in a day, MNTS more than doubling, INBS approaching a 100% gain, and SMX once again climbing sharply with a dramatic history behind it, the early days of 2026 are reinforcing a clear theme:
Retail momentum is not fading — it is evolving.
Whether Grandmaster-Obi ultimately triggers another SMX-style squeeze or simply continues stacking high-velocity momentum trades, one conclusion is becoming increasingly difficult to dispute: the market keeps reacting, and the alerts keep landing early.
As January unfolds, traders across Wall Street and Reddit alike are watching closely — not to see if another move happens, but to see which alert defines the next chapter.
