Or does a squeeze only happen when there is some other trigger to start an uptick and shorts covering only accentuates the move, sort of like stop losses kicking in accentuates a drop on other news?

You hit the nail on the head. The bulls will push a stock with a large short position up until the pain threshold is reached by the shorters. At this point it becomes a short squeeze and shorts will jump over each other to cover (Margin calls don't help). The whole time the bulls keep buying to really let them have it. Just a big war going on every day.

Best Regards
