Short squeezes cause assets to overshoot in price, think, say, the VW share price short squeeze skyrocketing the price to half the GDP of Germany (or something) before it dropped back to a reasonable valuation.
But this time with silver there is a genuine shortage of physical, which in itself will cause prices to rise because of a classical economic supply/demand situation, as well as the contrived paper short positions. So hopefully the real issue will mask the artificial one, and the short squeeze up/down effect will not be apparent.
