Low Float Squeeze Candidates

Desk note / squeeze scanner

SDEV is the only live tape. The rest is inventory.

Levels, percentage returns, and hit probabilities for the squeeze-scanner names as of the Friday, September 25, 2026 close. Weekend mark. No Monday tape yet.

Disclaimer — not investment advice This page is a structured recap of a research conversation. It is not a recommendation to buy, sell, or short any security. Nothing here is an offer, solicitation, or personalized recommendation. Short-squeeze and low-float names can gap, halt, dilute, and go to zero. You can lose more than you intend if you use leverage or ignore liquidity.

Entry, stop, and exit prices are scenario levels from the last cash session, not live orders. Percentage returns are measured from the stated entry (range midpoint where a range was used). “Hit” percentages are subjective judgment about whether that target prints before the stop over the next few sessions. They are not backtested probabilities, implied-vol odds, or a forecast that a squeeze will occur.

Scanner short-interest and float figures in the original list conflict with official and third-party sources. Treat those columns as hypotheses. Data can be stale over a weekend. Do your own work. Past tape is not future results.

The read, compressed

The original scanner mixed two different things: short inventory and a live squeeze. Inventory is high short interest on a small float. A setup is inventory plus abnormal volume plus a price trigger. That is why SDEV was the only name that mattered on Friday and why VEEA’s huge displayed SI did not.

Rule used on the desk: HIGH_SI + LOW_FLOAT + RVOL >= 3 + PRICE_BREAKOUT = SQUEEZE_ACTIVE. High SI with 0.1× volume stays armed or dormant. It does not get an entry table until the tape changes.

State board at Friday’s close

Ticker	State	Last	Friday range	Scanner float / SI / RVOL	What was actually confirmed	Chart
SDEV	Ignition	$1.49	$1.40 – $1.83	1.8M / 68% / 11.5×	Volume is real (~13.8M vs ~1.2–1.5M ADV). Official SI is not 68%. Shares short ~1.18–1.21M vs 50.6M outstanding. Treat SI% as disputed.	TV
NFE	Continuation / bounce	$6.82	$6.08 – $6.84	3.6M / 22% / 3.0×	~3× volume and +12% off a crash low. Still a waterfall from the mid-teens. Not a classic microfloat squeeze.	TV
WKHS	Armed / no trigger	~$2.91	recent $2.82 – $3.18	2.6M / 37% / 9.2×	Recent sessions were ~60–100k shares. Borrow is tight; tape is not. No entry until RVOL ≥ 3.	TV
VEEA	Armed	~$3.08	—	1.6M / 77% / 0.1×	Theoretical squeeze only. SI sources disagree (Yahoo ~65% of a 1.52M float vs other feeds much lower).	TV
TNON	Dormant	—	—	900K / 60% / 0.3×	Official SI nearer 149k / ~1.5% of float. Scanner 60% is not usable.	TV
FRMM	Armed / no tape	—	—	4.6M / 47% / 0.3×	High SI, no participation.	TV
MEDS	Dormant	—	—	1.5M / 28% / 0.1×	No table. No volume, no trigger.	TV
XPON	Dormant	—	—	720K / 23% / 0.0×	No table. No volume, no trigger.	TV

SDEV levels

SDEV on TradingView — Stablecoin Development Corp, NYSE American. Friday opened $1.58, printed $1.83, flushed to $1.40, and closed $1.49 on about 13.8 million shares. That is ignition with a failed hold of the high. $1.49 is not a free dip.

Nearby map: support $1.40, $1.29, $1.13, $0.94. Resistance $1.58, $1.83, then $2.00 / $2.20. If Monday cannot hold $1.40 on real volume, the long ladders below are dead for this swing.

Setup	Entry	Stop	Stop return	Exit 1	E1 return	Exit 2	E2 return	Exit 3	E3 return	Hit E1 before stop	Hit E2	Hit E3
Dip hold	$1.36–$1.40 (use $1.38)	$1.27	−8%	$1.58	+14%	$1.83	+33%	$2.00	+45%	45%	25%	12%
Reclaim Friday open	$1.58–$1.62 (use $1.60)	$1.39	−13%	$1.83	+14%	$2.00	+25%	$2.20	+38%	40%	22%	10%
Chase Friday close	$1.49	$1.27	−15%	$1.83	+23%	$2.00	+34%	$2.20	+48%	30%	15%	8%
Fail / fade from close	$1.49	—	—	$1.29	−13%	$1.13	−24%	$0.94	−37%	35% to $1.29	20% to $1.13	10% to $0.94

Best location, if volume returns, is the dip-hold. Worst is chasing the close after a rejection of $1.83. If Monday RVOL drops under ~2×, the fade row is the base case.

NFE levels

NFE on TradingView — New Fortress Energy. This is a bounce inside a waterfall, not a squeeze coil. The stock fell from the mid-teens toward $5.81 in roughly two weeks, then bounced +11.8% to $6.82 on Friday. Continuation of the decline is still the prior.

Setup	Entry	Stop	Stop return	Exit 1	E1 return	Exit 2	E2 return	Exit 3	E3 return	Hit E1 before stop	Hit E2	Hit E3
Bounce scalp	$6.10–$6.40 (use $6.25)	$5.70	−9%	$7.50	+20%	$8.15	+30%	$10.80	+73%	35%	20%	8%
Chase Friday close	$6.82	$5.70	−16%	$8.15	+20%	$10.80	+58%	$12.20	+79%	25%	10%	4%
Breakdown from close	$6.82	—	—	$5.81	−15%	$5.00	−27%	—	—	40% to $5.81	25% through $5.80	—

WKHS levels

WKHS on TradingView — Workhorse Group. Last area $2.91–$3.02. The interesting fact is borrow (~27% fee, thin availability), not the scanner’s 37% SI or a claimed 9.2× RVOL on a quiet week. Average volume recently has been about 60–100k. Tight borrow without volume is not an entry.

Setup	Entry	Stop	Stop return	Exit 1	E1 return	Exit 2	E2 return	Hit E1	Condition
Only if volume returns	$3.15–$3.25 (use $3.20)	$2.80	−13%	$3.56	+11%	$4.05	+27%	30% if trigger fires	Requires RVOL ≥ 3. No trigger now → skip.
Range fade	$2.91	—	—	$2.82	−3%	—	—	50% back to range low	Default path while volume stays dead.

Armed names: no entry until volume

VEEA, TNON, and FRMM stay off the trade blotter until relative volume is at least 3× and price holds above the trigger-day hig
