Yesterday morning, we saw some awesome price action in VOR Biopharma Inc. (NASDAQ: VOR)

Shortly after the opening bell, the stock ran up over 75%*.

And I suspected this would happen…

Why?

It’s a common pattern that I see all the time, and I love it because it’s predictable and the trading opportunities are enormous.

Mondays provide another opportunity for amazing gains…

If you haven’t checked out My Monday Setup, you need to!

This pattern mysteriously shows up only on that day, and it can move fast!

We’re talking about moves that could deliver more in one morning than most people see in a month!

And for a limited time, we’re offering the Monday setup for just $7!

That’s an 85% discount off the regular price.

This was originally a sale just for Memorial Day, but the Setup became so popular that we kept the deal going.

It won’t be around forever though…

So, check out the Monday Setup ASAP in my video tutorial below.

So how did I know VOR was going to do what it did yesterday?

I used to short stocks a lot…

In fact, at the beginning of my career, the majority of my trading was short selling.

Because of that, I have a very special knowledge of how short sellers operate.

I know their mindsets, what makes them want to short a stock, their thought processes…

It’s like I have a crystal ball that tells me what they’re going to do next.

And that’s why, as much as I love short selling, I really love playing the other side of the trade.

Today, let’s talk about one of my favorite trading setups — the short squeeze.

It can deliver massive intraday moves and is just as thrilling as short selling.

What Is a Short Squeeze?

A short squeeze happens when short sellers start to panic and rush to buy back shares, a move called “covering.”

That panic buying adds fuel to the fire, sending the stock even higher.

It’s a chain reaction:

  1. The stock starts moving up

  2. Shorts get nervous

  3. They cover their positions

  4. That creates even more buying pressure

The result?

Explosive upside, especially in low-float stocks with momentum.

It’s one of the best setups for aggressive day traders.

How to Spot a Short Squeeze

Here’s what I look for when hunting down short squeezes:

Weak or “Fluffy” News:

Look for stocks running on questionable catalysts like buzzword-filled press releases, vague partnerships, or hyped-up PRs with no substance.

These are magnets for short sellers who think, “This is garbage. It has to go down.”

That’s where they get trapped.

Low Float and High Volume

A float under 10 million shares with big volume? That’s the setup.

When a low-float stock rotates its float multiple times in a day, it can trigger panic among shorts, and that creates powerful momentum for longs.

Want Help Finding These Setups?

If you don’t have the time to dig through fluff PRs and float data, no worries, I’ll do it for you.

With my Squeeze Master Pro service, you get:

  • My top short squeeze trade sent straight to your inbox every Thursday night

  • A breakdown video explaining exactly why I picked it

  • Access to my Short Squeeze Manifesto and Short Squeeze Academy video series

So when Friday hits, you’re ready to strike.

Oh, and I almost forgot… We’re offering this service at 50% off the regular price!

Like I said before, I have a special edge. I can get inside a short seller’s brain like it’s nobody’s business.

Don’t believe me?

Take a look at these recent examples…

Eyenovia Inc. (NASDAQ: EYEN):

Here’s an excerpt from the email sent Thursday evening, June 5th.

The next day, EYE popped from my suggested entry of $4.85 per share to a high of $5.88 for a quick gain of over 20%*.

Kwesst Micro Systems (NASDAQ: KWE):

The market was closed on June 19th, so I sent this alert a day early.

On Friday, the 20th, KWE spiked from my entry of $12 per share to $16.50 for a rapid win of 38%*.

I’ve got plenty more examples, but you get the idea.

Do I hit 100%? Of course not.

But I consistently catch squeezes more often than not, and I give my members the full breakdown every week.

And if the stock never hits the entry, you never trade it… easy peasy.

My Final Thoughts…

Short squeezes offer fast-moving, high-upside potential, without needing to hold for days or weeks.

It’s all about timing the panic, riding the wave, and locking in gains when momentum is hot.

I just showed you what to look for and how I trade them…

But if you want to make life easier, let me do the heavy lifting.

Join Squeeze Master Pro today and start getting my best squeeze plays delivered every Thursday night.

Don’t miss the next big squeeze.

At 50% off the regular price, you can’t miss out on this deal!

Have a great weekend, everyone. See you back here on Monday.
