18Elevated short interest becomes most interesting when price strength forces shorts to defend or cover.
Bearish Conviction
14Rising short interest alongside weak trend can mean the bearish trade is being reinforced, not trapped.
Crowding

Divergence
16Short interest rose while price rose. Bearish positioning is adding into strength, which can create squeeze pressure if the chart keeps improving.
