Short / long squeeze events · the archive 197 archived

A squeeze happens when one side of the market, shorts or longs, is forced to close positions as price moves against them, amplifying the move with buy or sell pressure that compounds the original direction. Short squeezes run price up as short-sellers cover; long squeezes push price down as leveraged longs are liquidated. The category here collects both: the distinguishing signal is that liquidations are skewed to one side, not spread evenly.
