Squeeze Report — August 26, 2026
Biotech dominates the high-conviction end of today's book, with TGTX, CELC, SRPT, and SVRA all pairing elevated short interest with near-term FDA or data catalysts. The clearest tension is between crowded shorts and cheap borrow — several names look squeezable on positioning but lack the options-market confirmation that typically precedes a forced unwind.
