$ASST Underlying bullish momentum: 🟢
Short-interest fuel: 🟢🟢 — very high
Borrow scarcity: 🟡 — improving, but not scarce
Cost-to-borrow stress: 🔴 — virtually none
Price confirmation: 🟢 — yesterday's breakout
Forced-covering evidence: ⚪ — not confirmed
So I would keep ASST as an interesting squeeze candidate right now, but I would not chase the pre-market move. Today's regular session - especially what happens around
$13.35–13.50 and to volume after the opening volatility settles - is the next important test.
