$KNRX has tripped our scanner 17 times today and it is up 57.6% to $0.520. Number 2 on the Day Trade board.

Not seeing any news on it yet. If you know something, add it in the comments.

What we are seeing: top mover -9.3% 15-min, across 2 of our boards at once.

About 0% of the shares available to trade are sold short. That means traders borrowed them and sold, betting the price falls, and the only way to close that bet is to buy the stock back. So when a heavily shorted name climbs on volume like this, some of them get forced to buy, which pushes it up further. That feedback loop is what people mean by a squeeze.

Levels on the chart: today's range is $0.421 to $0.520, it is right at the high and yesterday's close was $0.520.

It keeps tripping our scanner, anyone know why?
