Dollar General has a very fresh and powerful fundamental catalyst: Q3 results showed a 31.5% jump in operating profit, 43.8% rise in net income, higher sales, and raised full‑year guidance, all highlighted in the selection rationale and reinforced by the recent Q3 earnings call recap in the latest news. Technically, DG is in a strong uptrend at fresh 52‑week highs (high_52_weeks 127.625000 just set on 2025‑12‑05), with price at 127.710000 trading well above its 10‑, 20‑ and 50‑day SMAs (108.08, 104.96, 102.94) and EMAs (110.82, 106.72, 104.88), and MACD in a clear bullish momentum state with a wide positive histogram (macd_line 3.2776 vs signal 1.4067). Momentum is overheated (RSI 82.38), but that is typical in early post‑earnings breakouts and suggests buyers are still in control rather than immediate reversal, especially given the strong fundamental backdrop and guidance raise. Short interest dynamics create an additional tailwind: days‑to‑cover is elevated at ~4.02 with rising short interest and a still‑high but recently easing short‑volume ratio, plus a squeeze_score of 65, so continued strength can pressure shorts to cover over the next week. Together, this supports a short swing continuation setup where a tight stop below recent support gives an attractive reward‑to‑risk into further post‑earnings price discovery.

Entry range includes current price; plan is a post-earnings momentum swing with raised guidance. Key risks: very high RSI (82), event-driven volatility (earnings yesterday), and elevated short interest which can both amplify moves and create whipsaws.
