Institutions short stocks. Eventually, they have to buy them back. SIA analyzes float lock and coverage velocity to tell you when that forced buying is likely to begin.
By the time a "short squeeze" hits retail news, the move is over. Without seeing the underlying mechanics, you are always late.
Every short position is borrowed shares. They are contractually obligated to buy them back. This forced buying is demand that doesn't depend on sentiment or hype.
Raw short interest means nothing. You need to know Float Lock Percentage (how much is tied up) and Coverage Velocity (how many days to exit). SIA calculates both.
When Float Saturation Index (SIA-FSI) crosses 66, shorts have a much harder time exiting without pushing the price up. SIA alerts you before this breakpoint triggers.
