"Mark-to-market losses on the short side may force some short sellers to trim or exit their positions."S3 Partners identified stocks that have all the characteristics of a potential short-squeeze, including high borrowing costs, high unrealized losses for investors betting against the stock, and high short interest.The notional dollar amount of the short interest measures the collective value of bearish investors' short bets against a certain stock. The amount of short interest could ultimately turn into buying pressure for the stock if a short-squeeze is triggered.These are the 10 stocks that are most primed for a short squeeze right now, according to S3.10.

These 10 stocks are most primed for a potential short squeeze right now

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Professional trader John Salama has ridden the market rally for the last year.</li><li>US stocks will remain hot for at least the next six months, even if there's a pullback.</li></ul>Swing trader John Salama has been hyper-bullish — almost to the point of hyperbole.Just over a year ago, Salama predicted that the S&amp;P 500 <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/stocks-to-buy-market-rally-outlook-prediction-analysis-investing-strategy-2023-9">would rebound and rally into year-end</a>. He then <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-invest-now-stock-market-rally-outlook-prediction-salama-2024-1">called for continued strength</a> in early 2024 and said a few months later that the S&amp;P 500 would climb <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/stock-market-outlook-prediction-sp500-rally-year-end-salama-2024-3">to 6,000 before 2025</a>, before <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/stocks-to-buy-market-outlook-prediction-investing-strategy-ai-tech-2024-7">doubling down on that forecast over the summer</a>.Though those calls may have seemed unrealistic then, they've mostly come true so far.The S&amp;P 500 is up 22.7% to 5,850 in 2024, which has shattered <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/2024-outlook-stock-market-economy-recession-investing-forecast-wall-street-2023-12#1-bmo-capital-markets-1">even Wall Street strategists' most optimistic predictions</a>. Before the year, the highest price target for the index from major investment firms was 5,100, hit in early March.Salama has ridden what's been a nearly nonstop rally, as have those who listened to him.With 2025 near, the trader recently told Business Insider about his latest head-turning call: the S&amp;P 500 will breach the 6,500 milestone by May 1, which would be an 11% jump in six months.Such a projection may seem ambitious, given that the index has already had a mammoth run. It's set to score a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.macrotrends.net/2526/sp-500-historical-annual-returns">double-digit gain for the fifth time in six years</a> and the 11th time since 2009.While those past gains can't guarantee future success, they also don't suggest that US stocks are now set up for failure. In fact, that historical precedent is a great comfort to Salama."I don't want to stand in the way of the market going higher because people think it's gone up too much," Salama said. "That's silly. Go look at an <a target="_blank" href="https://novelinvestor.com/sector-performance/">S&amp;P return quilt</a> of the past 50 years — how much is red, how much is green, and how much down it is. And the market still has room to go."<h2 id="b559f6fb-a743-40c5-bb20-e3bae83f64b6">Watch for a buying opportunity soon</h2>Stocks <a target="_blank" href="https://yardeni.com/charts/sp-500-historical-monthly-annual-returns/">often struggle in the autumn</a>, especially in election years.But <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-invest-election-strategy-trump-harris-stock-market-outlook-2024-10">the opposite has taken place in 2024</a>, as the S&amp;P 500 has broken through to new levels thanks to compelling catalysts like strong earnings and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/fed-cuts-interest-rates-how-much-september-fomc-powell-inflation-2024-9">falling interest rates</a>."These were supposed to be the bad seasonality, bad moments of the market — and yet we crank higher to new all-time closing highs," Salama said.With that said, Salama said he can't rule out a hiccup in the coming weeks. The trader was cautious about the dozen or so trading sessions before the pivotal early-November election, saying that the market could take a quick breather until afterwards."It's possible you get a bit of a perverse reversal, as it were, going into the election," Salama said. "Markets hate uncertainty. Right now, it's kind of a toss-up between the two candidates. You're going to get a vol crush, I'm pretty sure — barring some unforeseen circumstance."The market's near-term risk-reward setup isn't too enticing, Salama acknowledged. Although he's confident in stocks, he said the S&amp;P 500 may slip to the 5,700 mark or just under 5,600 in what would be a small but sharp pullback.However, Salama would likely put money to work if the index gets there, as he doesn't think holding money in cash is a sound long-term strategy."If you're in cash on the sidelines, collecting your couple of percent, you missed the <a target="_blank" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/stock-market-outlook-bull-rally-anniversary-earnings-interest-rates-sp500-2024-10">two-year bull market</a> where it's done about 24% a year," Salama said. "So I'm not going to be holding that back."<h2 id="d4f15b1d-cf58-44b6-bfd1-d76fe9bb2e8d">5 industries to target — and a bonus idea</h2>As for which parts of the market look enticing, Salama shared five industries that he's fired up about — even though he noted that stock valuations are unusually rich.While <a target="_blank" href="https://www.lpl.com/research/blog/valuations-arent-great-timing-tools.html">valuations are correlated with long-term returns</a>, the trader said paying undue attention to the S&amp;P 500's earnings multiple can backfire spectacularly."If you use valuation as a timing/trading mechanism, you would've missed out on a two-year bull market," Salama said. "And when people are going back and forth on, 'there's going to be a soft landing or a hard landing,' you miss the whole takeoff. So I can't get consumed with valuation."Salama added: "In terms of valuations, the drift is higher. So I don't want you be betting on a collapsed valuation."This market is healthy because investors are drifting away from technology stocks and toward less-flashy industries and sectors like banks, real estate, and homebuilding, Salama said. Such rotations are "the lifeblood of a bull market," the trader remarked."These are trends that you cannot ignore," Salama said. "You got that rotation into other parts of the area. We're not talking about '<a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/ceo-pay-apple-nvidia-microsoft-alphabet-meta-amazon-tesla-2024-5">Mag Seven</a>' only anymore."Each of those economically sensitive areas has gained major momentum in recent months as mortgage rates fall, though they've slipped recently during a few forgettable market sessions. Salama believes those trades still have plenty of life, including homebuilders, which he said were the "new girl at the ball" as lower borrowing costs <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/real-estate-mortgage-rates-outlook-prediction-top-cities-homebuyers-owners-2024-10">bring buyers off the sidelines</a>."Homebuilders, the whole real-estate story is really into focus here as the Fed is cutting into 2026," Salama said.Salama said he has exposure to those groups through options on exchange-traded funds like the SPDR S&amp;P Bank ETF (<a target="_blank" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/etfs/spdr-sp-bank-etf-us78464a7972">KBE</a>), the iShares US Real Estate ETF (<a target="_blank" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/etfs/ishares-us-real-estate-etf-jp5841380008">IYR</a>), the iShares US Home Construction ETF (<a target="_blank" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/etfs/ishares-us-home-construction-etf-us4642887529">ITB</a>), and the SPDR S&amp;P Homebuilders ETF (<a target="_blank" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/etfs/spdr-sp-homebuilders-etf-us78464a8889">XHB</a>).Although semiconductors are no longer all the rage in markets after losing some steam, Salama said they're worth sticking with since their uptrend remains intact.Gold miners are also a compelling option as the yellow metal hits record highs on the back of geopolitical uncertainty and continued government spending. The VanEck Gold Miners ETF (<a target="_blank" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/etfs/vaneck-gold-miners-etf-us92189f1066">GDX</a>) has been a strong option and should continue to be into 2025, in Salama's view.Lastly, Salama said investors should have at least some exposure to digital gold — better known as bitcoin — through products like the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (<a target="_blank" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/stocks/gbtc-stock">GBTC</a>)."Once it breaks out, it's going to break out," Salama said of bitcoin. "The highs are $73,000; we're at $67,000. We all know it can do that very quickly. And MicroStrategy (<a target="_blank" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/stocks/mstr-stock">MSTR</a>) tends to lead the bitcoin move, and MicroStrategy is doing wonderfully — up 500% in the past year. So that shows no signs of letting up."

'Room to go': A rally-calling professional trader shares why the S&P 500 will rocket to 6,500 by Memorial Day — and 6 investments set to soar

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Bitcoin is predicted to hit $500,000 by 2029, according to Bernstein.</li><li>The bullish outlook is driven by a sustained boom in demand for bitcoin ETFs, combined with constrained supply.</li></ul>The price of <a target="_blank" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/currencies/btc-usd">bitcoin</a> is set to soar to $500,000 by the end of the decade, according to a recent note from Bernstein.In an initiation note of <a target="_blank" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/stocks/mstr-stock?miRedirects=1">MicroStrategy</a> stock, Bernstein analysts Gautam Chhugani and Mahika Sapra said bitcoin is poised to soar 659% from Friday afternoon levels to hit half-a-million dollars by 2029.The culprit for the massive price increase is booming demand for bitcoin ETFs, which have attracted tens of billions of dollars in assets since their launch earlier this year.That soaring demand, combined with an ever-dwindling supply of bitcoin, creates a ripe supply-and-demand dynamic that should thee the cryptocurrency continue to rise in price."This is led by unprecedented Bitcoin demand ($190Bn AUM in 2025E vs. $60Bn today) via ETFs run by the world's leading asset managers, and Bitcoin supply being constrained," Bernstein said.Chhugani and Sapra said their base case projection for the price of bitcoin is $200,000 by 2025, $500,000 by 2029, and $1 million by 2033.The analysts had previously expected bitcoin to reach a cycle high of $150,000 in 2025, but they upped their estimates due to strong ETF flows.The firm's forecast was part of its note initiating coverage of Microstrategy, which Bernstein said is "building the world's largest Bitcoin company."The firm rates MicroStrategy at "Outperform" with a $2,890 price target, representing potential upside of 94% from Friday afternoon's price. MicroStrategy <a target="_blank" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/currencies/bitcoin-microstrategy-holdings-michael-saylor-halving-mining-crypto-mstr-btc-2024-3">has amassed 1.1% of the total bitcon supply, an amount that's worth about $14.5 billion.</a> Meanwhile, MicroStrategy has a total market valuation of $26 billion.Bernstein argues that MicroStrategy deserves the premium valuation as it offers investors an "active-leveraged" strategy compared to passive bitcoin ETFs."Over the last 4 years, MSTR's active strategy has delivered a higher Bitcoin per equity share - BTC/share has grown 67% i.e. from 6 bitcoin per diluted share in Q4'2020 vs. ~10 today," Bernstein said.Bitcoin traded just above $65,000 on Friday, about 12% below its record high of nearly $74,000.
