A short squeeze happens when a stock jumps sharply, forcing short sellers to buy it in order to prevent even greater losses. Their scramble only adds to the upward pressure on the stock’s price.
Short squeezes gain momentum as more short sellers are forced to buy to cover their positions at higher prices resulting in increased trading volume on the reversal.
The pressure on the short sellers to buy back their positions can be amplified by margin calls, trailing stops, and stop losses being triggered on their trades.
The short sellers create buying pressure because they have to buy back the shares or contracts they are short to cover during the swing higher in price.
Most short squeezes that are bear traps result in very fast and powerful moves to the upside.
When a market reaches maximum bearish sentiment at a price level where traders and investors prefer to hold their positions instead of sell a bear trap could be set.
