Squeeze Radar

34

Elevated short interest becomes most interesting when price strength forces shorts to defend or cover.

Bearish Conviction

34

Rising short interest alongside weak trend can mean the bearish trade is being reinforced, not trapped.

Crowding

46

Latest short interest is 91.3K shares and days to cover is 4.02.

Divergence

0

Short interest fell while price rose. The bearish trade appears to be unwinding into strength.
