A short squeeze happens when a heavily shorted stock rises and short sellers rush to buy back shares, pushing the price higher still. This screen lists stocks on NYSE and Nasdaq with short interest above 20% of the float, a short ratio (days to cover) above 5 and the price already trading above its 20-day moving average. Sorted by short interest. Squeezes are fast and unpredictable, so manage risk carefully. The list covers NYSE and Nasdaq stocks priced above $1 with at least $1 million in average daily trading value, using near-real-time data.
