C3.AI call buying plus high short interest squeeze
The author notes over 90k call options were purchased across $11, $11.5 and $12 strikes expiring 9/11 for C3.AI, alongside short interest above 30%. The mechanism is a potential short squeeze: heavy call buying plus crowded shorts could force covering and amplify upside if the stock moves. The catalyst is the 9/11 expiration and any near-term move; the main risk is that the options expire worthless if the stock does not move. The author holds $11.5 and $12 9/11 calls.
