its called a short squeeze

acronym · Nov 29, 2006

A short squeeze?
I gotta brush up on some jargon...was liking the look of gold/silver for a little short, till i saw the e-mini euro, and then, the cable...........does look good.

there wont be any pullbacks till the squeeze is over, or if its failed squeeze, but imho that thing was building cause for awhile, I dont think it even pulls back to 1.30 test IMHO.

The nature of a squeeze is to not allow any pullbacks thus not allowing the shorts to cover.

Every breakout starts as a squeeze, every uptrend starts as a breakout, but not every squeeze leads to a uptrend.

Thanks, that wasnt very confusing

What a purist technician might describe, or identify as a "pure" impulse move, effectively, yeah?
Ok-how is it different, (if it is at all) from limit moves in the meat complex, for example?

Same price behaviour,
just-NOT a price behaviour controlled by "panic', would that be close?

Its more like idiot squeeze because you have to be one to short currency in uptrend
