Default Clutch Squeak

Hello all,
Hoping for some help figuring out an issue in my 01Z.

Every time I press my clutch, there is a squeak/chirp. Happens every time, every gear, warm or cold, uphill downhill, rain or shine (you get the picture).

Would this be the throwout bearing? Release bearing? or something else?

TIA, I appreciate any insight.

Pic for Attention

Mine started squeaking too after I flushed the clutch fluid. The previous owner probably never did a flush, as it looked like thick coffee. The car had 84k on it. Now my clutch pedal sticks to the floor on occasion too. But it squeaks all the time. I suspect the master and slave cylinders are on their way to failure, but have no idea how long until that happens.
