Squeeze Report — August 12, 2026
Today’s slate is dominated by biotech and pre-revenue names where the borrow is cheap and the bear case is formidable, creating a landscape of potential slow-burn squeezes rather than imminent gamma explosions. The standout setups hinge on binary clinical catalysts—IMVT’s CLE data and SRPT’s sNDA decision—where a positive readout could ignite a violent repositioning against complacent shorts.
