The Mechanics of Squeeze Scores
Short squeeze scores are composite metrics (0-100) designed to rank US-listed equities by their short-side pressure. These scores aggregate multiple data points, including short interest as a percentage of float, borrow fees, float utilization, and days to cover. A high score indicates a crowded short position, which may increase the probability of a large price move. It is important to remember that these scores are diagnostic, not predictive; they measure the current state of the market rather than forecasting a specific directional outcome.
