Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet covered or closed out. Short interest, which can be expressed as a number or percentage, is an indicator of market sentiment that tells whether investors expect a stock's price is likely to fall.

Short squeeze. A short squeeze is a rapid increase in the price of a stock that occurs when there is a lack of supply and an excess of demand for the stock. Short squeezes result when short sellers cover their positions on a stock, resulting in buying volume that drives the stock price up.

If there is no market maker to shake the tree by dropping the bid if everyone decides to hold, then there is great potential for a squeeze when short who got stuck look to close out. They will have to match the price of what is available. Should be very interesting.
