A short squeeze happens when short sellers have to close their position and return the shares to the lender, because otherwise they loose a lot of many (and could go broke and the lender does not want that).
But when you cover and you buy back the shares that you deliver to the broker or hedge fund or whoever it is, they could dump the price by selling the shares or lend them again to other short sellers that also sell.
So why would the price go so fast up almost with any sell position during a short squeeze?
