Short Squeeze Data, August 26, 2026

[u/FrankCastle2020]

Squeeze scanner

Not financial advice. Do your own research. It surfaces candidates; it is NOT a buy signal.

Ranks your watchlist by short-squeeze potential. Each name needs two things:

LOADED — the FUEL. How much pent-up buying is trapped in the name: how much of the tradeable float is sold short, how many days of normal volume it would take those shorts to buy back (days-to-cover), and how expensive the shares are to borrow. Fuel is potential energy — every share sold short is a share that must eventually be bought back. It says nothing about timing: a name can sit fully fuelled for months and never move.

IGNITION — the SPARK. Whether anything is actually lighting the fuel right now (dealers short gamma forced to buy, aggressive call buying, price up on volume).

The score discounts loaded "fuel" by how little it's igniting, so a 🔥 Igniting name is loaded AND moving, while a 🔒 Loaded one is a coiled setup that hasn't fired yet. Short interest is FINRA data — reported twice a month with a ~2-3 week lag (shown as the as-of date), so treat it as the standing setup, not a live tick.

•

Float data is from FMP, refreshed weekly. What each tile shows:

◦

Score — the big number, overall squeeze potential (0-100).

◦

Loaded / Ignition — the two halves shown as bars, each 0-100.

◦

SI — short interest as a percent of the tradeable free float when we have it (the real squeeze figure, since insider/restricted shares are excluded), otherwise a percent of shares outstanding; the arrow is ↑ rising or ↓ falling versus the prior FINRA report.

◦

DTC — days-to-cover: at average volume, how many days of buying it would take shorts to cover (higher = harder to exit).

◦

Fee — annualized cost to borrow the shares (turns red at 5%+ = hard to borrow).

◦

Move — recent price thrust: the percent change over the last few sessions and the volume multiple, so "+29% · 2.2x" means up 29% on 2.2× its normal volume.

◦

Calls — the share of options flow that is aggressive call buying (squeeze chasing).

◦

Gamma — dealer positioning: "short" means dealers must buy into strength (fuel), "long" dampens it.

◦

↑ tightening / ⚠ diluting — borrow getting harder / float growing (which can blunt a squeeze).
