Squeeze Report — September 29, 2026

Biotech and crypto-adjacent small caps dominate today's most crowded shorts, but the real tension is between dense catalyst calendars and easy borrow. Names like GLUE, NVAX, and RLAY show heavy short interest yet still lack the financing pressure that forces covering.
