🔥 ICP Long-Term Trend Shift: Short-Squeeze PotentialIn the past I've written many times about ICP's terrible performance and price action. It was one of the worst performing tokens of the last 2.5 years, with a serious risk of never going up again. But, where there's pain, there's also opportunity. With ICP losing over 99% in value in 2.5 years, it has some serious potential to pump. Not saying that we're going to see new all-time highs, but a move towards 100$ is still in the cards. The weekly RSI has hit it's highest level since ICP started trading on Binance. This is a bullish metric in itself. Furthermore, with ICP being so weak, it was a shorter's dream come true. I reckon there's a lot of shorts currently wondering whether to close their short position or to leave it open. If BTC (and alts) continue to rise, ICP will rise with it, making more and more shorters close their positions, which leads to even more bullish price action since they have to buy their positions back. This could cause a short-squeeze in ICP's price. All in all, I think it's quite possible that ICP's lows are in and that we're going to see a long-term trend shift.

IHS confirmed , next BIG short squeeze?Long and strong IHS confirmation breakout and tested Fundamentals: Company fully funded and largest factory in Moses Lake has started production with recent contract signed for the next 10 years worth around 3 busd. Todays mcap is around 0.6 busd. Guided ebidta for 2025 is 100-300 musd Dept around 260 musd with favorable terms Production within 3 megatrends in the U.S, semi chips, solar and batteries (silane gas) All production sold out, but silicon anodes manufacturers ( Sila Nano, G14, Oned) has established around their Moses Lake facility in hopes for silane offtake. Amprius and Cenate has mentioned and hopes for REC silicon silane gas, and company itself says they have discussions with multiple companies regarding silane. REC has 70% markets share of silane gas, and it looks that replacing grafite with silicon will be the next big thing. The potential for REC silicon and its silane gas are endless the next 5 years as this explodes. REC also has a 15% stake in Yulin factory in China, and are in proccess of selling this stake, which is valued to 150 musd. 1/4 of todays mcap just in cash!! Proccess is going slow but we are close to an end... This stock is worth following the next year!! Also to mention is that due to restart and impairments, Moses Lake factory(replacement cost 1.7 busd) is zero in the books. Yulin has also been written down to zero... and revarsal of impairments would most likely be reversed next quarter, Yulin is a huge bonus with cash, and company has also recievd a large amount of pre payments in the 3 busd contract recently signed. Today REC silicon is one of the most shorted stocks in Oslo stock exchange, but there is a huge chance of a potential short squeeze here when market discovers fully what is about to happen here....

AMC Entertainment Holdings Options Ahead of EarningsIf you haven`t bought AMC before the Gamma Squeeze: or sold before the approved combining AMC shares & APE units: Then analyzing the options chain and the chart patterns of AMC Entertainment Holdings prior to the earnings report this week, I would consider purchasing the 10usd strike price in the money Calls with an expiration date of 2023-11-10, for a premium of approximately $1.17. If these options prove to be profitable prior to the earnings release, I would sell at least half of them. I`m still bearish for the long run. Might end up in bankruptcy after all. Looking forward to read your opinion about it.

GEVO. Manipulation Short squeeze. How short positions are reset.This example is on paper company Gevo inc - manufacturing. Chemical industry. Specialized chemicals. I will say that I combined the training idea with the trading one , how the stocks will be relevant for trading now, the potential first profit with confirmation of support can be about + 90%. Everything that happens now, goals, read below under the description of the manipulation of a short squeeze. But let's plunge into the past and in order to examine this detective story in order to evaluate this masterpiece of trading art by applying the punishment of the zombie crowd of believers “it should be like that” and “put sure Stop-Loss like a smart uncle wrote to us in a book.” It was like this ... It seems that the downtrend will last forever. After all, the price over the past 2 years has fallen by almost -99%! Dump from $ 245 to $ 3.30! This is what happens with real companies, but what about non-existent crypto projects? After all, almost all crypto projects are built on promises that this “nothing” will cost a lot. Buy and hold, and you and the plant employee will become a millionaire in a couple of months / years. The sweetest lie, the more willing poor John believes in it. As you understand, in many cryptocurrency projects for lovers of “buy and hold”, to become a millionaire and stop going to the factory is still ahead. It doesn’t matter whether these assets are pumped up yet or not, but their ultimate fate is the complete disappearance in the near future of the life of poor believing John. The graph shows a strong downtrend , merciless to investors. But among investors, one must not forget that there are very rich uncles who can also make a mistake. But those who want to fix it. Well, it is clear that after such a fall from $ 240 to $ 3, no sane person believes in growth already, how silly it is. Most traders enter only a short position. But there are more intelligent people who have thought and decided why we don’t make a lot of money on “100% faith” of people. The strongest downtrend. Drop from $ 240 to $ 3.30. Minus 99% for 2 years. As part of this trend, many sellers are going to expect a continued decline in the trend. But after all, everyone was taught that it is necessary to put Stop-Loss, and if you do not, then you should always close somewhere. Where will everyone have stops on this chart? Yes, everything of course depends on the point of opening positions, but the generally accepted approach - Stop-Loss who enters a short position will be put for the nearest resistance, that is, we will be interested in the zones above the selected levels on the chart. If everything is clear and the main crowd has so much faith and become accustomed to the eternal fall, why not take advantage of this and start the domino effect? After all, money is burned only initially to start the process, then only fantastic earnings. How everyone will be "trapped" in a trap. Any inadequate Stop-Loss sizes will be reached. Buy or margin Call. Gevo inc. Levels where the crowd of "shorts" puts Stop-Loss. It is in these zones that Stop-Loss of most market participants are behind the resistance. Large players understand this very well, it’s a sin not to use it if you have enough money on hand for this manipulation. Perhaps the biggest player is the company itself, which is very interested in getting out of a loss-making situation and making big profits. After all, having for this a certain amount of money you can start an avalanche-like process and get the most unattainable Stop-Loss, thereby moving the market up against the current trend on Stop-Loss. This is an avalanche-like process. You understand very well what will happen to those traders who have opened a short trend and the price will begin to rise against their position, and even grow rapidly impulse with no chance of pardon. Yes, everything is simple, when we reach a certain zone, the order is executed, that is, the position is closed by Stop-Loss. And we all know that a position is closed by opening a reverse position, which means that if we were on sale, then a purchase is opened to close, that is, we create additional demand for growth. And so on the chain. And it’s not scary that then the price will return very quickly back to the previous values, because the manipulators will be in big profit, and the trader who caught the margin will no longer enter a short position on this asset. This is what came out of the chart below. Gevo inc. Growth + 600% at closing short on Stop-Loss. As we can see, the first strong resistance was + 100% of the minimum value before the short squeeze. That's how you think who believed that the price will reach these values? It is clear that no one, well, especially since the price will reach the last Stop Loos zone. For such an action, money was needed only until the first Stop-Loss zone, after which the price moves according to the domino effect. Growth fuel is the closing of short positions. Virtually no one believed in growth, which is why the impulse was + 600%, due to the closure of short positions of those who did not believe. After a while, the price broke the line of the main downtrend. Price shifted to lateral movement. Wishing to enter the short was less and less, as everyone remembered the previous margin Call. A year ago, there were two more attempts to punish those wishing to enter a short position in this trading instrument. It was not possible to repeat the short squeeze situation on such a scale. The first short squeeze is + 67% and immediately after it + 27%. It can be seen that there are no more willing traders to enter a short position on this trading instrument. Gevo inc. The situation is now. Please note that only on short-squeezes did a large volume go out at the auction. Traders with short positions were squeezed out of the market specifically. In lateral movement, the price is now drawing a formation that could become a triple bottom. If support is confirmed , the growth potential to the previous local maximum and the first resistance is about + 90%. ___________________________________________ Manipulations. Someone thinks that manipulations occur only in the crypto market, this is not so, they are everywhere, only in the crypto market they are open and arrogant, as there is no responsibility for this. In other markets, there is price manipulation, but to a lesser extent, as if the relevant authorities prove guilty there will be huge fines, or the deprivation of a license for trading activities up to the prison. ___________________________________________ What is a squeeze on the exchange. Short squeeze. Long squeeze. Squeeze (eng. Queeze - squeeze out) - a situation in the financial market when Stop Loss is sharply collected. As a result of the sharp increase, part of the Stop Loss is squeezed out, and part is closed at the “what is” price, this leads to an even greater increase / decrease in the price. Since positions can be held both in purchase and in sale, both short-squeeze and long-squeeze are possible. Short squeeze - it happens when sellers (shorts) are forced to close their open positions in order to avoid even greater losses, which only spurs the price even higher. On the graph, the hairpin (shadow) is up. Long squeeze - exactly the opposite. A sharp decline in the price of assets, forcing buyers (longists) to close their positions. Here, the buyers are already the “victims”, who are forced to close open transactions at a loss in order to prevent even greater losses, which provokes a further drop in the price of the instrument. On the graph, the hairpin (shadow) is down. ________________________________________ Short squeeze on margin trading. If it comes to margin trading, the strongest buyer today is yesterday's short. The vicious circle for bears is called "short squeeze" - short squeeze. In order not to be trapped, market participants must understand the principle of short positions, see the potential for a situation that could provoke a “short squeeze”. Experienced traders know how to make a profit with a short squeeze. The strongest short-term growth waves often occur during periods when a large number of lower players find themselves locked in an unprofitable position due to an unexpected price increase for them. As a rule, these are mid-level traders and so-called “hamsters” market participants with a level of knowledge and experience that is close to zero and close to it. Unfortunately or vice versa, fortunately the bulk of the crowd of the crypto market is precisely this layer of society. In such a situation, in order to get out of the trap they have to actively buy this cryptocurrency in which they are locked at any price in order to save part of their capital and fix the loss. I will explain in more detail so that the mechanism of this phenomenon becomes more clear. A short position or short-term transaction (from impudent short) is an operation when a trader sells a borrowed coin with the intention of buying it back later at a lower price. After the return of the borrowed coins, the difference between the sale price and the purchase price becomes profit. You can borrow cryptocurrency from the exchange, which as a guarantee for such a loan requires an adequate amount of guarantee security in the account. As a guarantee, money, bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies, which are valued at a certain discount, can act. When the value of the coin in which you are in a position increases, the size of the required guarantee for short positions also begins to grow rapidly. If the amount of funds in the account is insufficient to cover the required amount of security, the exchange may forcefully close the position. Downgrade players usually try to prevent this situation and close the position before submitting a margin call request from the exchange. However, their tactics here are essentially the same - a quick purchase of a coin that has grown in price, and you are in a short unprofitable position on it. If the size of the positions of such participants is large enough, then this situation can lead to skyrocketing prices and the avalanche-like closure of other shorts. Scalper traders and intraday traders who often open counter-trend trades in the hope of a pullback after active growth can aggravate the situation even more. If the rollback is not realized, then their purchases may become additional fuel for the upward movement. ________________________________ The immaturity of the cryptocurrency market provides opportunities for manipulation. An important feature of the cryptocurrency market, which is often ignored, is its tendency to respond to the actions of individual bidders. By individual bidders, I mean large traders, the creators of individual cryptocurrencies on which manipulations occur, as well as exchanges, which naturally themselves are owners of large cryptocurrency assets. And also, if desired, can affect their price. Roughly speaking, these are market participants who are called “whales” in the slang of traders. The cryptocurrency market is more affected by the influence of these particular market participants than other markets, due to the lack of maturity and insufficient control of the relevant state financial control bodies. No fundamental does not work without money support, but money on the exchange without the influence of the fundamental works in such an uncontrolled market perfectly. For example, we are all familiar with such frequent phenomena in the crypto market as "pumps" (artificially pumping prices). Very often they occur even without the release of FUD news on a particular coin. Also, the entire crypto market is very much tied to the dynamics of bitcoin, which can lead it in the opposite direction to fundamental factors. In recent years, the market has become more “mature”: instead of the buy-and-hold trading strategy, many have begun to use more advanced methods. Futures contracts, trading with leverage, opening short positions are now available. The more powerful players appear in the industry, the more the community takes on them “tricks” from the field of trading. More and more traders are using short positions in a falling market, allowing them to earn money in such conditions. And naturally, in such conditions, short squids and long squises often occur. Since the majority of traders take short positions in the bear market, many receive big losses, some especially greedy and not experienced margin calls. Large investors can begin to behave dishonestly Short-squeeze can be carried out only by a large market participant, such manipulations are beyond the power of ordinary traders. How to do this you need a huge amount. As a rule, such manipulations are done by the exchanges themselves. This is illegal - but everything is legal on the cryptocurrency market! There are conspiracy theories that such manipulations are carried out by exchanges, thus getting rid of customers who will definitely be in the black due to short positions and withdraw money from the exchange ecosystem.

Cracking the Short SqueezeImagine this: a group of traders betting that a stock's price will drop. But suddenly, the price surges, forcing them to buy and causing a chain reaction of buying that shoots prices up. This exciting but risky event is called a short squeeze. Why Does It Happen? Short squeezes occur when a lot of traders need to buy suddenly. These traders, initially betting on price drops, now must buy to cover their positions, creating a buying frenzy. The more traders in this situation, the higher the prices shoot. It's Not Just Stocks: Short squeezes don't only happen with stocks; they can happen in any market where traders can bet on prices dropping. If there aren't many ways to bet against an asset, its price can keep rising for a long time. Rare Opposite — Long Squeeze: On the flip side, there's a rare event called a long squeeze, where people betting on price rises get trapped in a selling frenzy, causing prices to drop suddenly. How Traders Use It: Smart traders watch the long/short ratio for an asset. If there are more bets against it (shorts) than for it (longs), there might be a squeeze opportunity. These traders buy before the squeeze and sell when prices shoot up, making a quick profit. In the world of finance, short squeezes are like exciting rollercoaster rides. They can lead to big gains, but if you're not careful, you might end up taking a financial plunge. Happy trading 💜

🔥 LUNA 1-Year Resistance Break Out: Short-Squeeze Coming? 🚨As of today, LUNA has finally broken out through a bearish resistance line that has been produced in September last year. In my view, this can be the break out that patient bulls have been waiting for. I'm waiting for a daily close above the resistance before calling the break out a fact. Stop below the Sept 4th resistance. Target at 2$. With LUNA being one of the most shorted tokens at the moment (it has no right to exist), this bullish push can be the trigger of a short-squeeze event that can bring LUNA back up towards the 2$ target or even more. Bears are sweating on this move.

BETR Better Home & Finance Holding potential SHORT SQUEEZEOn August 24th, the shares of Better Home & Finance Holding (BETR), a company backed by SoftBank, experienced a drastic decline of over 94%. This downturn came as investors showed reluctance toward the online mortgage lender. The company had recently gone public through a merger with a blank-check company (Aurora Acquisition Corp SPAC) precisely when mortgage rates had surged to the highest levels seen in two decades. In the case of Better Home & Finance Holding, an overwhelming 95% of Aurora shareholders chose to redeem their shares. This decision left the trust account of the SPAC with approximately $24 million by the end of June, marking a significant decrease from the roughly $283 million it held at the conclusion of the previous year. These details are revealed in filings. Typically, when a stock has only a small number of publicly available shares, it becomes susceptible to high levels of volatility. Despite trading at $0.77 intraday, it's worth noting that on August 2nd, the SPAC associated with BETR was trading significantly higher, at over $60. The situation with BETR brings to mind past posts of mine regarding the potential short squeeze scenarios witnessed with AMC Entertainment and GME Gamestop: Given the limited liquidity in play, I am inclined to believe that a short squeeze might be on the horizon for BETR. Looking forward to read your opinion about it!

Syta trend predictionSyta a Canadian cellular telecom company has had a lot of success in Saudi Arabia with their push to talk over cellular. Emergency Services Teams (Ambulance, Fire, Police, Security, etc) Love this! Syta reverse split 1-100, from 4 cents to 4 dolla last week and has been in accumulation phase since the split. The chart shows us a falling wedge pattern and a break out is near. Over the next few days we may break resistance @4.61 and @4.81 or maybe today! We were halted this morning , and when we came out of halt we opened @5.00 and fell a few cents and we are re testing the resistance at 4.61. Hopefully we can see price rise to the next resistance//support at 7.50 and 8.00 dolla! Very low float at 1.68 million and no dilution! so we may actually see alot higher price rise in a very short time. *not financial advice *beginner trader *learning as we go Thanks again :)

Does the RiteAid short squeeze have another leg?RAD has been flying after a long period of consolidation and wek fundamentals. The Reddit army is marching with the RAD flag. At one point RAD sqeezed 100% but it has falled back a bit in the profit taking. Still the retracement is shallow so far. In the close of the trading week, in the last hours price dropped to 2.5 with support from the anchored mean VWAP and then rose to 2.68. I believe this should be on a watchlist if you like to trade meme stocks. TUP is now competing with RAD for meme attention. I will get back into both of them when I find the clear and compelling opening. I will pay attention to rising volume and rising volatility on a low time frame chart to make that finding. Shorts may better realize their pain this upcoming week and add a a bit to the buying pressure allowing for some synergy with new buyers.

Bullish on AMC. Read BelowThere has to be some major volume moves happening within the next few days to make or break this moment for all apes that have been patiently holding for almost 2 years. This stock in particular has been hovering the threshold list for quite some time. With the recent court ruling giving way to the short run we had to the $8 dollar mark. I am confident something in the works is brewing. Crazy things have been happening lately with the FTD's, Naked Shorts, cost to borrow fees, and overall volatility conditions.

Analysts project continued deceleration in revenue growth, with expected sales growth of 7% in 2023 and 5% in 2024. Dropbox's stock is valued at $26.63 with a market cap of $9 billion, but investors may find more stable tech stocks with comparable valuations.

GME buy the dip LONGI see GME on the 15-minute chart as being setup for an opportunistic speculative dip buy. Details and targets are on the chart. The plan is to get about 5% out of an anticipated rebound off the near-term pivot low. My analysis is the GME will revert to the mean being the high volume area of the volume profile which is 4% upside with the POC line before that where trading will ever be buyer dominate for a continuation or seller dominate for a bounce down. If any shorts bought in the downtrend they will either hold through the recovery or buy to cover to minimize losses. If the latter, the early beginnings of a short squeeze could be a foundation of a move higher.

Can AMC continue the bullish momentum?AMC popped over 50% on the last trading day. So questions arise could include whether there is an juice left in the move? Are there short sellers now buying to cover to cut their losses? On the 15 minute chart, the parabolic move is obvious. The volume profile shows the highest volume of trading at 7.42. A typical end of the trading day and week fade is seen with volume falling as well. Price is now getting support at the first VWAP band above the mean line somewhat confluent with the POC. A reasonable target is the high of Friday's trading session at 8.75 but bullish momentum could push price above that resistance. The is a major VWAP band breakout. a parabolic move that potentially could continue. Accordingly, I will take a risky trade with a limit order at 7.45 where AMC will be above its POC line as an sign of a potential resurgence of bullish momentum. I will watch for a volume spike showing that new buyers like myself and short sellers liquidating are combining in selling pressure. I anticipate great price action and a quick profit. The trick is knows when to sell to realize profits I will sell one-tenth of the position for every 3% in profit unrealized and could find an overall profit of 15-25% which would be a great way to start the trading week. Some might call this chasing and I understand that. I see it has high risk with higher potential reward especially if a short squeeze kicks into the higher gears.

AMC Shareholders approved combining AMC shares & APE units !Even though I was one of the first to signal you about the AMC potential to become the next GME Gamestop: Today I want to share with you my Bearish Thesis: In my opinion, there are factors that suggest AMC Entertainment Holdings (AMC) may experience a decline in share price following the APE (Additional Paid-in Capital) conversion. The approval of combining AMC common shares and APE units by an overwhelming majority of shareholders (87% in favor) indicates a significant increase in the capacity to issue additional common shares (88% in favor). The increased capacity to issue common shares can potentially lead to dilution of existing shareholders' ownership. As more shares are issued, the existing shares represent a smaller portion of the overall ownership in the company. This dilution, coupled with the potential influx of additional shares in the market, can put downward pressure on the share price. Furthermore, the approved combination of AMC common shares and APE units may result in increased selling pressure as some shareholders may choose to liquidate their positions. This increased supply of shares in the market can further contribute to downward price movement. Considering these factors, my price target of $3.80 by fall reflects a bearish sentiment for AMC's stock. It is important to note that the price may even go lower due to the potential dilution and increased selling pressure resulting from the shareholder-approved measures. Looking forward to read your opinion about it.
