Will the courts ruling on illegal tariffs cause a market wide short squeeze ? [View all]

Short Squeeze market wide today perhaps ?
Short squeezes create a feedback loop where rising prices force shorts to cover, pushing prices even higher and triggering more covering. Historic examples include GameStop's 500% surge in 2021, Volkswagen's 400% increase in 2008, and the market-wide squeeze of April 2025 where the NASDAQ jumped 12% in a single day.
