Squeeze Radar

100

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

Bearish Conviction

63

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

Crowding

100

Latest short interest is 2.7M shares and days to cover is 5.04.

Divergence

85

Short interest rose while price rose. Bearish positioning is adding into strength, which can create squeeze pressure if the chart keeps improving.
