What is a Short Squeeze?
💥 Short Squeeze 101
📉 Short sellers bet on falling prices.
📈 If the stock rises, they rush to buy back shares—sending the price even higher!
🔥 High short interest (>15% float) = prime for a squeeze.
💡 Example: RXRX surged recently as buyers and market forces amplified the pressure.
