What is Squeeze?

Advanced

스퀴즈

A phenomenon in which positions crowded on one side rush to close in response to a move in the opposite direction, which then amplifies the move. When many shorts have piled up and price rises, buying back comes all at once and the rise becomes abrupt, and the reverse happens when longs are crowded. What to check is not only price but also which side positions were crowded on.
