Squeeze Report — August 19, 2026

The tape is bifurcated: a handful of biotech names (IMRX, SLDB, RLAY) carry extreme days-to-cover but face dilution overhangs that cap squeezes, while crowded consumer and tech shorts (GO, DUOL, KSS) show live catalysts but cheap borrow. The most actionable setups are catalyst-driven, not borrow-driven.
