Can someone give a serious explanation as to what happened? Why did the squeeze not occur despite the outstanding shorts?
>$400 was the squeeze
How? I was under the impression that since the hedge funds would be buying back shares en masse, the squeeze would result in a sudden price impact but the move to $400+ was steady and gradual.

They (rich people in general not specifically melvin) shorted it again at $400 and used those profits to cover the rest of their shorts at $50. Also robinhood interfered by cancelling the ability to buy.

The squeeze hasn’t happened yet. The spike up to $400 was purely hype as the situation was presented as
> it’s literally free money
The hedge funds are still in a similar situation as they were in January, the only difference is that other funds have bought in on the opposite side. Knowing this, retail investors aren’t likely to be capable of moving the needle either direction anymore, so it’s basically just a waiting game for the bad guys to get bled out enough that they can’t justify postponing buying their shares anymore. Literally nobody outside of the fund managers know when that’s expected to happen

The squeeze happened at first, they had to close short positions 3 times and the price spiked since there was enough bull pressure.
But then:
bulls didn't increase and didn't trade their position (eg sell high and buy low more of them), they bought everything in the first days, other bulls didn't join, and bears could manage to short starting from more comfy positions.

Informations about % of shorts were outdated and not reliable (many websites giving different data).

>b-but the VW squeeze!
There were huge differencies in this, since the vast majority of the stocks were held by workers and by the government, no one was trading those.

The squeeze did occur. The stock jumped up 1000% in 5 trading days. Short interest increased over the squeeze, a majority of people shorting the stock did so after the stock was at $200+, so had plenty of time to cover their shorts and make tons of money.

No rug was pulled, you guys were buying on margin and your broker (Robinhood) couldnt meet the capital requirement. It was either limit all buying or literally force all people who bought on margin to liquidate to meet DTCC's capital requirement. Normally this wouldnt be a thing but Robinhood was heavily concentrated in a few stocks which does effect the requirement calc.

The early days of hype were organic. The past 30-60 days of hype was planned out by the hedge funds. The massive wave of paper hand normies buying and selling over this period provided all the volume necessary for the funds to cover their shorts. Yes, the rise to $400 was not the squeeze, it was just a pump from everyone buying in, but enough people sold, fomoed back in, and sold post-$400 that more than enough shares were made available for funds to cover.

Something might have happened if everyone had held, but they absolutely didn't.

It was going up by over 100% every single day until brokers banned being able to buy it. After that it just hovered around $200 and then instantly tanked down to $60. Everyone likes to make fun of GME holders but between the price tanking being artificial and it actually rising back up to $300 the next day there was no reason to believe it was truly over and that the squeeze wasn't happening. If it wasn't for the buy limits it would've easily gotten up to $800. Also they would halt sales multiple times every single day to try slowing it's crawl, and even that wouldn't stop it from doubling in value every single day.

Explain how other brokers(tradezero,TDamer,Etrade,webull,etc) including cash accounts got locked out and limited as well as people not even being able to sign into their accounts.

You also had orders being canceled when people did not cancel them and new limits of price being put on multiple brokers. Where you could list sell price at 100,000 but suddenly your stuff gets canceled and you cant list over 1,000 because "its not too far from current stock price". Go ahead I await your legal reason for these and how they were applied in totally different ways across totally different sites all at same time.

This is the answer. They made so much money off those $300 + calls the IV was over 1000%and shorting it from $450 to ~$250 on Wednesday premarket when RH shut down buying.

Think about it. You could still sell... But to WHO you are supposed to be selling to other people who are buying but if RH didn't let people buy then who was buying those shares.

There's good reason to believe it isn't over. All signs point to the shorts still largely having not been covered and now institutions have stepped in to buy up the stock. If that's not a bullish sign I don't know what is.

I don't know, buy volumes are very low, no one is joining the party, if there was more data i could say something more, but shorts opened from $400 to $60 are actually in profit, hard to say how many shorts opened are at a loss and need to be closed.
