1. INO — Squeeze Score 92.8
INO posts the day's highest score at 92.8, backed by 22.2% short interest as a percentage of float, a borrow fee of 22.1%, and just 0.8 days to cover. The punishing stock-loan cost makes this a high-fee tight-float setup where short positions are expensive to maintain. If borrow availability tightens further, covering pressure could build quickly in a thinly traded name.
2. IREN — Squeeze Score 91.1
IREN ranks second with a score of 91.1, 24.5% short interest as a percentage of float, a borrow fee of 0.7%, and 1.4 days to cover. This is a high short-interest name with manageable cover time, meaning a positive catalyst that forces covering would not face an immediate liquidity wall from days-to-overhang. The low borrow fee reduces carry costs for shorts, so the setup hinges more on short-interest depth than on expensive stock loan.
3. CLSK — Squeeze Score 85.5
CLSK sits at 85.5 with 31.9% short interest as a percentage of float, a borrow fee of 0.3%, and 3.8 days to cover. This is a high-SI mega-cap-style setup where more than a third of the free float is held short. A catalyst that triggers covering would need to absorb nearly four days of average volume before shorts are fully flushed, giving the move room to extend.
4. INDI — Squeeze Score 85.3
INDI ties for fourth at 85.3 with 30.0% short interest as a percentage of float, a borrow fee of 0.8%, and 8.7 days to cover. The name carries the FINRA threshold flag, signaling sustained heavy short pressure. With nearly nine days of cover, any forced buying would unfold over multiple sessions rather than in a single burst.
5. CIFR — Squeeze Score 85.3
CIFR also scores 85.3, showing 24.9% short interest as a percentage of float, a borrow fee of 0.4%, and 1.5 days to cover. The short book is large relative to float but can be covered quickly at recent volume, so a squeeze here would depend on a sudden imbalance between covering demand and available shares rather than on a multi-day overhang.

Highest Borrow Fees on November 9, 2026
INO leads the borrow-fee table at 22.1%, far above LCID at 13.3% and USAR at 6.2%. Every other name on the board charges under 3%, with several at or below 0.5%. Elevated borrow fees raise the daily cost of carrying a short position, which can accelerate covering when momentum turns.
