2026-03-20 to 2026-06-26

Squeeze Radar

14

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

Bearish Conviction

29

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

Crowding

27

Latest short interest is 26.9M shares and days to cover is 1.51.

Divergence

45

Short interest fell while price fell. Shorts are covering despite weak price action, which can suggest the easy bearish pressure may be fading.
