How the Short Squeeze Setup scanner works

Short squeezes occur when heavily shorted stocks begin to rally, forcing short sellers to cover their positions by buying shares — accelerating the move higher. Our scanner cross-references short interest data with existing bullish pattern detection. We flag stocks with 15%+ short interest that are also showing at least one active bullish chart pattern. This dual-confirmation filters out stocks shorted for good reason and identifies setups most likely to trigger a squeeze.

What we analyze

Short interest percentage of float (15% minimum)
Active bullish chart patterns from other scanners
Volume trend (increasing = shorts getting uncomfortable)
Days to cover estimate
Price relative to 50 SMA

How our grading system works

For short squeeze setups, an A+ grade means 30%+ short interest with 2 or more active bullish patterns and increasing volume. An A grade requires 20%+ short interest with at least one bullish pattern. Lower grades indicate lower short interest or fewer confirming patterns. This is not a prediction of future price movement — it is a way to prioritize which charts deserve your attention first.

A+
Textbook setup with strong confluence
A
High-quality setup worth watching
B+
Decent setup with some reservations
B
Pattern detected but lower conviction
