What is a Short Squeeze?Imagine betting that a stock will fall, only to realize that the faster it rises, the more buying pressure your own trade can create.
Sounds counterintuitive, right?
When short sellers close their positions, they have to buy the stock back. If many short sellers do this while the stock is already rising, their buying can push the price even higher.
As the price rises, more short sellers may decide to exit, creating even more buying pressure. This feedback loop is what makes a short squeeze so

Volkswagen absorbs the impact of Porsche and revises down 2026By Ion Jauregui - Analyst at ActivTrades
Frankfurt — Volkswagen AG (ETR:VOW3) has announced an estimated impact of up to €10 billion on its 2026 operating profit, forcing the group to revise down its margin guidance to a maximum of 1%, from the previously announced range of 4%-5.5%. The bulk of this impact, €6 billion, corresponds to a non-cash accounting impairment linked to its 75.4% stake in Porsche, whose medium-term outlook has been affected by the contraction in demand in China and by tari
Volkswagen — Bullish Buying Setup | Upside MomentumVolkswagen is currently presenting a constructive buy-side opportunity, with the broader price structure showing signs of improving bullish momentum. The setup is focused on a potential continuation toward higher levels as buyers attempt to strengthen their control over the current market direction. 📈🔥
The analysis is based on the overall behaviour of price rather than a single candle or isolated level. The current structure suggests that downside pressure is losing influence, while the buying

Volkswagen - 7.77x Earnings, A Falling Wedge, And A Monthly MACD Divergence. The Setup Is Building.
Volkswagen is one of the most unloved stocks in Europe right now and that is precisely what makes it interesting. Revenue for the twelve months ending June 2026 reached $375 billion, up 6.26% year-over-year. Against a consensus analyst price target of approximately €115, implying over 30% upside from current levels, the stock trades at just 7.77x TTM earnings. At a P/E TTM of just 7.7
The German Auto DiscountLast Thursday evening, Volkswagen's supervisory board unanimously approved Zukunftsplan 2030 — the Future Plan. On Friday the shares closed up about 6.5% at €81.30, the strongest name in the Stoxx 600 that day.
Nothing about the company's earnings changed in those 24 hours. What changed was that a room full of people who had been unable to agree, agreed.
What was approved
Around 50,000 further positions go, management included, on top of roughly 50,000 already agreed since late 2024. The mo
Volkswagen: A long-term bottom in the makingVolkswagen has found buyers near the end of what I count as a WXY correction on the monthly chart. Wave (II) may already be complete, but the fib.1 extension sits at 67, so there is still room for another low before the next long-term advance.
The restructuring gives me a fundamental reason to watch this setup. Volkswagen is targeting more than €6 billion in profitability improvement by 2030 through job cuts, plant consolidation and fewer models. Lower investment spending and asset sales co
Volkswagen chokes between U.S. tariffs and Chinese pressureBy Ion Jauregui – Analyst at ActivTrades
Volkswagen is facing a challenging period marked by international trade pressure, slowing demand and the structural transformation of the automotive industry. The German manufacturer reported a 10% decline in operating profit during the second quarter, to €3.5 billion, and has revised its forecasts downward, now acknowledging that its revenues in 2026 could fall by up to 3%.
The company estimates that U.S. tariffs could have an impact of up to €5 billio

Volkswagen Long-Term Structural CompressionXETR:VOW
Volkswagen is not a short-term trading chart here. This is a multidecade structural map.
The chart shows three major reference points: 1998, 2008 and 2021. Each of these periods created an important reaction zone, but the most important message is the long-term compression between the falling macro resistance and the horizontal support area around €62.
The 2008 spike remains the most extreme event on the chart. That move was not a normal trend continuation. It was a historical distort

Volkswagen AG - Long-Term Opportunity DevelopingVolkswagen appears to have completed a full 5-wave impulse cycle, topping out around the 2021 highs. Since then, price action has transitioned into a broader corrective phase, likely unfolding as an ABC structure.
Wave A marked the initial sell-off, followed by a Wave B recovery. Currently, price action suggests we are in Wave C, which typically represents the final leg of a correction.
From a structural perspective, the trend remains weak:

Is Volkswagen a buy?I see a lot of people on social media claiming that Volkswagen is now a good buy because the stock is undervalued, because the government will intervene, because it's not all that bad, and so on.
However, if you take a look at the weekly chart with the most basic tools, you will notice that the share is currently not sending any signs that indicate an imminent upward trend in the context of a Stage 2. The price is below a falling 30-week SMA and below a falling AVWAP from the ATH. Even though t
