Definition of squeeze:
Diving below RV
(RV as the volume AFTER bloodshift has reduced it)
This causes bloodvesel bursting in throat and/or lungs.
Scenarios where squeeze can appear:
Realy at any depth. A negative or FRC dive can get you squeezed at very shallow depths as 10 meters.
Squeeze can only occur when you have mastered frenzel equalization fully and the mouthfill effeciently.

There are numerous cases where people have gotten squeezed way above RV; for example Perry Gladstone of Canada and Stig of Denmark.
Mastering frenzel or mouthfill is definitely not required to get squeezed -- in fact some of the worst squeezes have happened to valsalva divers (i.e. Dieter Baumann).
In terms of equalizing, it is definitely possible to equalize to at least 100m with air, on an FRC dive, with a good mouthfill, so it should be definitely possible to reach 70m without packing....
