Shares of Avis Budget Group have delivered one of the most extreme moves seen in recent equities trading.
After rallying roughly 600% from late March lows and reaching a record close above $713, the stock has now reversed sharply, falling more than 70% over just two sessions as momentum from the initial short squeeze faded.
The question now is whether this was a one-off squeeze, or just the beginning.
If short positioning is still significant, any renewed upside pressure could trigger another round of covering.
Setups like this offer clear trading opportunities if you choose to do so with BlackBull Markets, but they come with equally high risk. Price moves are driven more by positioning and sentiment than fundamentals, which can make direction harder to predict, and both bullish and bearish setups can develop quickly.
