Methodology

The Readiness score (0–100) blends the precomputed score_squeeze_composite table (55%) with a bullish technical-confirmation overlay (25%) and recent price momentum / squeeze acceleration (20%). Confirmation points are awarded for RSI rising off oversold, price above 50d/200d SMAs, an active TTM squeeze with rising momentum, positive MACD histogram, OBV bullish divergence, and proximity to the 52-week high.

The Setup tag categorizes each row in priority order: Falling knife (bearish backdrop even with squeeze fuel), Late stage (already extended), Igniting (fuse just lit), or Coiled (loaded but not yet firing).

Short-interest data settles bi-weekly; price and technicals update daily. Each row links through to the stock detail page for the full short-interest history.
