Squeeze Report — August 21, 2026
The tape is bifurcated: a handful of high-short-interest names are already up 20–45% in 20 days, meaning the squeeze has largely paid out before the crowd arrives. The real edge today is in the setups where positioning is hot but the borrow is still cheap and the catalyst is dated — GRRR, RLAY, and ASST are the only names where the squeeze math still has room to run.
