Скачать или смотреть What Is a Short Squeeze? Explained with a Real-World Example

A short squeeze happens when a heavily shorted equity suddenly surges in price, forcing short sellers to buy to cover at higher levels. This covering fuels further buying, triggering margin calls and driving yet more short-covering, creating a self-reinforcing cycle. This week’s headline-grabbing example saw a consumer retailer with almost half its float sold short jump over 100% at the open, perfectly illustrating the phenomenon.

What You’ll Learn:

Squeeze Mechanics: How forced covers by short sellers ignite a rapid, cascading price rally.

Margin Call Trigger: Why falling collateral values can compel institutional buyers to rush back into the market.

Vulnerability Measure: How short interest as a % of float signals squeeze risk.

Retail Influence: The power of coordinated buying—just one catalyst away from igniting a squeeze.

Value vs. Price: Why such moves often reflect market dynamics, not changes in company fundamentals.
