A
"short squeeze" is a situation in the stock market where investors who bet against a certain stock (by selling it short) end up losing money. It happens when the stock's price goes up instead of down, causing those who bet against it to rush to buy it back to cover their losses. This sudden buying pressure can further drive up the stock's price, creating a "squeeze" for those who are short-selling.
