The story
Snowflake surged ~34-36% after-hours after crushing Q1 estimates, raising full-year guidance, and announcing a $6B commitment to Amazon's cloud/agentic-chip infrastructure.

The house read
Wrong ifIf buy-side models meaningfully revise PT higher and short interest is squeezed, the gap could hold or extend; any new large hyperscaler partnership announcements would also invalidate the fade.
