stats - shorts squeeze. As many other traders, shorts also use stops. Usal stops are mostly set at 2.5 or 3% of the entry, some give more room to 5%.
On the SPX, there was a floor 1084ish, broken Monday.
You can expect traders to have shorten the break and entered shorts in a 1064- 1048 range.
1048 * 1.03 = 1080
