They aren't buying up their shorted position. They are just juggling around what they do have available to them. The only play book we can reffer to is the Volkswagen squeeze, and the price dropped till they had to actually buy back the remaining shorts and the interest on their loans will have to force them to buy back.

you do realize that a squeeze doesn't go infinity upwards right? Dropping prices with no shorts covered does not deflate it.

How actually common are short squeezes in stocks? How does one catch them?

I think I understand what you are trying to ask. Bear with me here:

Market makers and movers will size up on a short for X reason. If others see this short volume mounting, they will panic and sell off or set up short positions themselves (this will create a self-fulfilling prophecy of sorts and make the price go down). If, however, the short sellers were wrong fundamentally and the stock goes up after a good quarter or other good news, the price of the stock will climb due to both (1) the good news and/or a successful quarter and (2) short-sellers being "squeezed" out of their position and being forced to sell if they can't handle the pressure.

Pic related is a prime example of this. The dip you see was created by short sellers mounting their shorts and the enormous spike was them being squeezed plus good news. Google "VW short squeeze 2008". It a good case study that will clarify things more.

"bull run"
here's what happens to short squeezes in normal markets
watch these faggots try to squeeze it to 10k now that everyone is going to try to short it on leverage
hey faggots here's a tip: don't short a manipulated market on leverage

How bitcoin is priced:
1) Exchanges that allow margin trading build up a stack of shorts from people flooding in to sell bitcoin due to media attention, some figure it is at a local top so they do it with leverage. Whalebots know all the liquidation prices. They are looking to hunt down your stop losses and liquidate you. They will move the price 50 dollars or more just to catch a bunch of liquidations.
2) It doesn't just happen on one exchange. All the gambling margin traders from around the world go into a mania seeing the price rise on an isolated Zambian exchange and go crazy starting to buy regardless of what the volume weighted average price across real purchases is like. Short squeezes are triggered all over the place.
3) Bitcoin gets media attention for new highs. New normies enter. Normies don't know why the price is going up other than it must be because of all the hype. They're happy to buy as long as it increases. The cycle continues. You're sitting on a ticking time bomb that's only still ticking because fresh blood keeps coming in. What kind of store of value is this? I don't think the regulated futures market will be so kind. The price gets to go up for a while as attention is drawn in but it's not going to last. How many of these newfags do you think are actually mining bitcoin? Litecoin, Monero, and even Vertcoin's difficulties are increasing faster than Bitcoin's.
