Short squeeze pressure calculator.

Put five market conditions into one transparent pressure profile. The output describes the inputs you provide—it is not a squeeze probability, a price forecast, or a recommendation to trade.

Enter current conditions

Use reported short interest, not daily short-sale volume.
Reported short interest ÷ average daily share volume.
A current indicative rate from your broker or data source.
Positive momentum adds pressure; declines add none.
Current volume divided by the same-period average.

Input pressure profile

/100

Enter the five inputs

The result will summarize pressure across positioning, liquidity, borrow cost, and current tape conditions.

Exactly how the profile is calculated

This intentionally simple heuristic caps every component. A single extreme input cannot create the entire score, and no undisclosed ticker data is used.

InputMaximum pointsFull-points reference
Short interest / float3030% or above
Days to cover257 days or above
Borrow fee1550% annualized or above
Positive five-day move15+20% or above
Relative volume above 1×154× or above

Important: a high profile only means the supplied conditions are intense under these weights. Reported short interest is delayed snapshot data, borrow availability can change quickly, and sharp price moves can reverse. Never use this page as a substitute for source verification, security-level research, or risk controls.
