Short Squeeze
A short squeeze is a rapid upward market move in which short positions are forced or pressured to close, contributing additional buying to the rally.
Why it matters to you
As price rises, short traders may close positions voluntarily or be liquidated. Because closing short exposure generally requires buying, this can add further demand and accelerate the upward move.
