Why Short Sellers May Still Be Fueling SMCI’s Massive Rally, and 3 Earnings Plays  I did a video on Tuesday of last week on Super Micro Computer, when shares were at $28. I explained how it could potentially see a massive short squeeze… Here’s the gist of what I said at the time (there’s a link to the video after the jump): SMCI was surging in what looked like an emotional move driven by short covering and retail FOMO. It was the exact opposite of Nvidia's bearish setup from earlier in the week. SMCI’s recent action told a familiar story: traders trying to catch a falling knife, buying dips, getting stopped out, and eventually giving up as losses mounted.  With buyers tapped out, implied volatility spiking, and shorts loading up, the stock appeared primed for a massive short squeeze, potentially blowing through resistance levels or even filling the gap left by previous sell-offs. For traders who saw the opportunity, the high implied volatility made options expensive — those premiums weren’t cheap. Smart money was countering this by going deep in-the-money on calls or converting them into spreads to cut costs. There was significant institutional action in play too, like a $1 million order on Jan 18 calls, which added weight to the bullish case. With multiple resistance levels in sight and shorts likely fueling the rally, SMCI looked poised for further explosive moves. Today? The stock was up 17% at one point, popping over $37 a share. It’s now up 68% over the past week — so be sure you watch these videos… and slap the ol’ thumbs up button to help me out with my YouTube algo! So what’s cooking for today?
