The S&P has hit a new high—how can the Nasdaq keep up? The answer may lie in short-covering.

The S&P 500 has been hitting new highs amid short-covering pressure, while an even more intense short squeeze in the Nasdaq is poised to unfold. The massive volume of latent short positions within it, once triggered to stop out, combined with FOMO-driven buying from sidelined capital, will inevitably fuel a powerful rally toward the top.

Goldman Sachs' trading desk warned that although market deleveraging is nearing its end, institutional leverage remains elevated, and substantive risk reduction has yet to be achieved. In August, U.S. equities face multiple headwinds, including capital outflows and asymmetric selling by CTAs, leading to range-bound volatility in the near term, with corporate buybacks serving as the most reliable support. With extreme risks—such as a sharp rise in cross-asset correlations—intensifying, the current environment presents an optimal window to proactively establish protective positions (e.g., put options).
