"The Anatomy of a Perfect Short Squeeze" Nate Bear, Lead Technical Tactician, Monument Traders Alliance Hey Gang, This is one of the best trading environments I've seen ALL YEAR! Short squeezes are firing off all over the place. And there is one stock that I just landed a whopping 115% gain on that isn't done handing out presents… With a 14% short interest and shares just below all-time-highs, I can't tell you how excited I was when I saw my S.A.M AI Scanner pick up on an A+ daily chart opportunity: But here's the thing… Most traders don't know how to time these trades They wait until after shares start to rip before they finally pull the trigger because they're afraid to lose. Fortunately, I've got the solution. Now, if you haven't heard of my TPS strategy, then you're in for a treat because let me tell you… This 3-step setup is ideal for this market. When the S&P hits new highs like this, heavily shorted stocks become sitting ducks. Bears get trapped. Momentum builds. Explosive moves follow. But you can't just pick any shorted stock and expect to win. You need the right setup at the right time. That's where my TPS framework comes in – Trend, Pattern, and Squeeze. And OKLO? It's got all three firing right now. Let me show you exactly what I'm seeing... OKLO's Perfect Short Squeeze Setup Take a look at this beautiful daily chart: This is exactly what I want to see when hunting for short squeeze candidates. Let me break down the TPS elements that have me so excited: - Trend: That strong uptrend is undeniable. OKLO has been making higher highs and higher lows since May, creating a perfect staircase pattern that bulls love to see.
- Pattern: Notice that tight consolidation forming near the highs? Instead of selling off after its recent run, OKLO is coiling like a spring. This tells me buyers are still in control and sellers aren't rushing for the exits.
- Squeeze: Check out those momentum bars at the bottom turning from red to yellow. This compression signals that volatility is about to explode in one direction or another.
But here's what makes this setup absolutely lethal... 14% short interest. That means nearly 1 out of every 7 shares is owned by someone betting OKLO will fall. Here's how the short squeeze works: When heavily shorted stocks start breaking out, bears get nervous. They scramble to buy shares to cover their short positions before losses get worse. But here's the kicker – their buying creates even more upward pressure on the stock price. More buying = higher prices = more bears panic = more covering = even higher prices. It's a vicious cycle that can send stocks absolutely parabolic in a matter of hours. And with OKLO sitting right at the edge of a technical breakout with all that short interest lurking beneath the surface? This could get very interesting very quickly. The Options Advantage Now here's where things get really exciting... While a breakout in OKLO shares could deliver nice gains, options give us the potential to absolutely multiply our returns. Take a look at my Daily Power Options scanner results for OKLO: Notice how the strikes and expiration dates are grayed out? That's because these powerful option setups are exclusive to my members. But I can tell you this – when a stock has the perfect storm of technical setup AND heavy short interest like OKLO does right now, options can turn modest stock moves into explosive triple-digit gains. Think about it... If OKLO shares move 20% on a short squeeze, that's a nice win for stock traders. But the right option play? That same 20% stock move could deliver 100%, 200%, or even 300% returns. That's exactly what happened with my recent OKLO trade that delivered 115% in rapid fashion. The beauty of options during short squeezes is the speed. While stock traders need massive moves to see big profits, option traders can score huge wins on relatively modest price movements. And when those short sellers start panicking and covering their positions all at once? That's when options really shine. The explosive volatility that comes with short covering can turn a well-timed option play into a home run trade in a matter of hours. That's why I'm keeping such a close eye on OKLO right now... |
