Squeeze Report — September 3, 2026
Biotech dominates today's high-conviction squeeze watch, but the setups are bifurcated: TGTX and VIR show shorts pressing into strength near 52-week highs, while TNGX and UNCY carry extreme short interest undermined by cheap borrow and heavy ATM overhang. The real story is how many of these 'squeeze' candidates are already seeing shorts cover.
