A short squeeze happens when there is overwhelming buying pressure that pushes a stock up and forces the shorts (those who borrowed stock and sold it as a short-sale) to cover (buy) their short positions. Also, shorters can be forced to cover if the person who they borrowed the stock from (to short-sell) demands it back.

<What's a short squeeze?> The simplest manner in which market makers generate profits is to move the stock to a desired level and put on a print to clean up the order. Once this order is out of the way, market makers will attempt to cover at a favorable price. These traders have tremendous amounts of capital at their disposal, which they will use to run, or tank, a stock in order to shake out the traders. Short squeezes occur when traders push the prices of stocks high enough to make short traders cover their positions.
