Short Sale Squeeze

A short sale squeeze is a phenomenon that arises when there is a high number of short sale positions on a particular stock, causing its price to rise. This increase in price prompts short sellers to quickly cover their positions by purchasing back the stock they had initially sold. This surge in buying activity creates a demand for the stock, further driving up its price and potentially resulting in a rapid appreciation.
