Squeeze Report — September 17, 2026
The short-squeeze tape is bifurcating: crowded biotech shorts (ABEO, ORIC, SMMT) are getting a bid from a fresh healthcare rotation, while high-float names in energy and REITs are losing the sector tailwind. The real tells today are borrow costs and share availability—most of these setups have cheap borrow and no forced-covering pressure, making them catalyst-dependent rather than structural squeezes.
