You seem to be saying that short squeezes are characterized by difficulties in finding shares to short. Isn't that incorrect. The beginning of a short squeeze may be initiated by forced covering, driving up the price, which then leads to a vicious circle of more short covering. But if there really is a short squeeze, one would think there were plenty of shorts available at the top since many have capitulated.

Therefore, wouldn't you find plenty of shares available at the top of a short squeeze since the shorts are wrung out?
